  Out of that list I would boot out Bono, Mccartney, and Mary J bilge altogether and include Graham Nash, David Crosby and Carly Simon, moving swifly up that list would be Michael Jackson, Stephen Tyler and Freddie Mercury, along with Joni Mitchell, could debate this for weeks but if I did at least half of thoise listed wouldn’t be in the list at all lol Why no Tony Bennett ???? he would be in my top ten at very least !!!!!

  What a joke…no Don Covay but a third-rate Covay imitator like Jagger makes 16th spot and, most ludicrous of all, no James Carr – one of the most sublime and soulful voices ever.

  Just confirms all my prejudices about popular music, the people who make it and the people who write about it!

  No Clyde McPhatter…No Wynonie Harris…No O.V.Wright…No Roy Brown…No Big Mama Thornton…No Irma Franklin (the latter two of whom could’ve blown an overrated screecher like Joplin straight off stage)…a total farce!
