Post subject: 100 Greatest Singers of the Rock Era

Posted: 02/12/10 5:17 am • # 1

I was saying that I am going to see Steve Winwood for Valentine's Day. In looking around for info I found that he was #33 on Rolling Stone's greatest 100 singers list. After looking at the list, I don't actually think it's a greatest singers list at all. Maybe vocal artists. For example, I don't think Bob Dylan sings well at all, but he's a great vocal artist.

Take a look at the list and let me know what you think.
