Oh s*** I forgot about Levi Stubbs, he’s incredible

My most unruly take is that Jarvis Cocker should be very low somewhere on here, if Lou Reed's on here, a guy who had a great discography but a 1-inch range, I think another speak-singer who could actually belt it out when he needed to deserves a place, Liam Gallagher too, but again, low
Rolling Stone and American publications in general have never put
on british invasion bands not named Oasis or Radiohead so nobody in north america has heard of Pulp or Suede which is a tragedy
I'm glad you mentioned that cause who the f*** is that
the only person I've never heard of on there
legendary powerhouse Cuban son cubano/salsa singer. she was in a documentary i watched recently. apparently the GOAT non english singer in the eyes of roLLing stone

!https://youtu.be/nLCr1DoL4mIdid Iggy place? the amount of menace dripping from his vocal on s*** like this is unparalleled
very few can reach such dread lows and scorching highs like him

Just realized the singer of my favorite band and favorite solo artist didnt make the cut
Kinks and Dylan
Miguel missing on the list makes it irrelevant. he's the best male voice of the last decade
also why tf Lana del Rey is here?? she can't sing live at all
