Levis 4 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybluesky 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Jane 61 1 Report post 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!

Foolonthehill 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batman 2 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 they aren't so bad, they put P-Funk as the 2nd best band of all time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batman 2 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyguitar 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blind-fitter 0 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyguitar 0 Report post 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Jane 61 1 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
