EKE BBB Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 In whatever context, definitely Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest rock singers ever. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to see Lennon or Dylan way closer to the top than Rodgers. One thing is musical relevance; another one is vocal skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is partly a matter of preference, but still, there is some objective elements as to which singers do have better vocal skills (at least that is how I interprete "greatest singers"). Dylan is a genius, probably one of the 5 most relevant folk-rock-pop musicians of our era, and a favourite of mine, but... seventh place in a "greatest singers" list seems like a joke. Conversely, Witney Houston had little relevance for the history of pop music but... oh, THAT voice! However, I can agree with Aretha, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke or Otis Redding up there. Oh, and sorry for my stubbornness. I used to be very keen on making lists... I recently had a long discussion with some friends on "50 greatest Spanish sportsmen/women". Just for fun... Can we agree on the 10 greatest jazz tenor sax players? Hawk goest first, of course... Edited July 7, 2020 by EKE BBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does Raul and Ramos rank? How about Santana? My first Wimbledon was seeing him win. Nadal must be near the top, if not the top. What about Contador and Indurain?

jcam_44 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Stu Larsen - Resolute (vinyl) a bit folk, a bit blues, a bit all its own. Waiting for his new album Marigold which I pre-ordered from a local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
