Booche Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Rolling Stone said so:Q magazine bravely attempted to name the Best and Worst singers ever. They did a good job, wisely going big with Elvis as the top choice. We’re going small, naming the definitive five singers in each category.Save your anti-Celine rants for Tuesday: We’ll list the best today and the worst tomorrow.Here are our five picks for the best singers ever. Aretha Franklin Frank Sinatra Dusty Springfield Thom Yorke Billie Holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'd bump Dusty off of the list for Mr. Nat King Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thom York. Oh brother. That must be a typo, or a copy/paste mistake from the WORST singers ever list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 i don't get it, is the typo where you spelled his name wrong, or what?he's an amazing singer... you've heard ok computer i'm sure. i'd put freddie mercury at the top of any such list (if the list was ROCK or popular music singers), but Thom Yorke is certainly a good choiceIn my opinion.... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Any vocalist that gives me headaches can't be good in my book.I get shudders just THINKING of Yorke's voice, it's like torture to me when I actually hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 How do you feel about Neil Young's vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 How do you feel about Neil Young's vocals?Or Willie Nelson - I'd have written him off as an awful singer until I started paying closer attention and appreciating the timbre of his voice.I'd throw in Adrian Belew and Lowell George as great singers, but I still don't know what the restrictions of the category are....

Guest Low Roller Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Way to go Thom! You've been established and embraced as one of the greatest by the king of all mainstream music media! Truly this is the day of your comeuppance... Now THROW IT BACK IN THEIR FACE! Reject the praise and claim that you do not desire Rolling Stones' validation! Continue to make brilliant music that is fueled by angst and antiestablishmentarianism.The ClockYouElectioneering(sorry Andre, the song you wanted is no longer up on YouTube....)
