Farin Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 I just stumbled across this list, compiled by MTV and the Blender magazine (so I don't doubt that there will be a discussion about the accuracy of the list ) 1. Mariah Carey 2. Freddie Mercury 3. Whitney Houston 4. Bono (U2) 5. Christina Aguilera 6. Alanis Morissette 7. Kurt Cobain 8. Björk 9. Celine Dion 10. Tupac Shakur 11. Michael Jackson 12. Chris Cornell 13. Robert Plant 14. David Bowie 15. Alicia Keys 16. Steven Tyler 17. Jewel 18. Thom Yorke 19. Mary J. Blige 20. Michael Stipe 21. Sade 22. Bruce Springsteen and what do YOU think?
The Seeker Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Is this some sort of 90s/00s list? No Steve Marriott, Roger Daltrey, Eric Burdon, John Lennon, ...
Levis Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Freddie Mercury isn't close enough to the top and Robert Plant is too far down and what on EARTH is Kurt Cobain doing there?
Farin Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Is this some sort of 90s/00s list? No Steve Marriott, Roger Daltrey, Eric Burdon, John Lennon, ... I think it's about current music... if I read correctly the list was compiled in January 2007 Edited June 23, 2007 by Guest
johnnyguitar Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 It's a totally shite list. Rock - Plant/Paul Rogers/Anne Wilson Folk/Jazz - John Martyn/Tim Buckley/Jewel Soul - Smokey/Marvin/Aretha Everything else...Alex Harvey/Joni Mitchell? Just about does it for me. The rest are 'also rans'.
TheLizard Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 At least Rolling Stone is better than Blender...
RonJonSurfer Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 If this list doesn't include Paul McCartney, it is just silly.
skybluesky Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 No Janis? Grace Slick? Stevie Nicks? These kids don't know how to respect their elders. I do like seeing Mary J. Blige on the list.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 I've made a life decision, I am going to change careers and work for a music magazine so I can make up stupids lists and get paid pretty good money for it! I just laugh when I see these lists anymore....
skybluesky Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Who makes these lists? People without ears?
Foolonthehill Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Haha we already knew that the editors of Blender magazine are complete morons...they put ELP as the worst band of all time.
Batman Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 they aren't so bad, they put P-Funk as the 2nd best band of all time
Batman Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 by the way, everyone realizes that the point of these lists is to piss people off (especially adults), and you're just helping them complete their mission, right?
johnnyguitar Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 It's Bono that gets me...the pompous, microtonally out-of-tune, bellowing whinge bag that he is. (and no mistake). Ye gods.
blind-fitter Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 You've got to acknowledge his range, surely? The way his voice covers the whole emotional spectrum from "earnest" to "bombastic" with such effortless ease...
johnnyguitar Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 He certainly is capable of expressing the full range of emotions from A to B.....but it's that plangent whine to his voice that gets me......with the occasional breathy interlude until he winds himself up to full tosspot mode again. It's awful. And, how Cher never got in the list? Well, I never!
blind-fitter Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 Christine Aguilera, a better vocalist than Sinead O'Connor???
blind-fitter Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 No Morrissey? No Scott Walker? This list is pants.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 Just a thought, why don't we make a list, like with the top 10's, we submit who we like and tally the votes. Could be fun and I am sure better than this list.
Jenny Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 I like U2 and Bono, but I still have to laugh at b-f and Johnny when they make fun of them. I can just see Bono throwing a hissy!!
TheLizard Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 Just a thought, why don't we make a list, like with the top 10's, we submit who we like and tally the votes. Could be fun and I am sure better than this list. That's actually a really good idea, I think.
