Blogs N' Roses Greatest 100 Singers of All Time

PhotobucketRolling Stone Magazine is always good for those annoying "100 Greatest" lists that inevitably start brawls around the water coolers of America. I found their 100 Greatest Singers of All Time list to be a blatant insult to my fantastic taste in lead singers. Elvis was number three....seriously...there were two people better than Elvis? Steven Tyler was ranked 99, I don't think Halford even made the list...and Thom Yorke from Radiohead outranked Jerry Lee Lewis. Have they no decency!?

But the greatest insult was Jim Morrison. Rolling Stone ranked The Lizard King a lowly 47. Show some respect, Morrison porked Jann Wenner's sister during their infamous show at New Haven Connecticut.

I was going do the full list of my 100 Greatest Singers of All Time but I realized that only a select few were important and the rest were just imitators.

1. Elvis - He is The King and he died on the throne. "Jailhouse Rock" anybody?

2. Jim Morrison - Also the king...of Lizards, and he sounds like drunk Elvis. Rumored to have died in a Paris restroom like Elvis.

3. Bon Scott - He had a rock n' roll band and a fast right hand and also died gloriously by choking on vomit in a car.

4. Little Richard - Combine the stage presence of Jerry Lee Lewis with the creepiness of Michael Jackson!

5. Blaine Cartwright - Blaine is an odd selection since he technically can't sing. This wildcard entry could also appear on the Worst Singers Ever list with Jim Dandy Mangrum from Black Oak Arkansas and the incomparable GG Allin.
