NME "top singers" poll - CRAZY-HORSE - 24-06-2011
some weeks ago the NME-online site started a poll with 100 singers they listed and asked for people to rate each vocalist a mark out of 10, many hundreds of thousands of votes were cast and the official list has just been released.
not many surprises in the list and i guess we could all disagree with some of them, but a good list anyway:
Matt Bellamy from Muse was the only singer within the Top 20 to have emerged in the past 25 years. He made Number 11. Meanwhile, Aretha Franklin landed at Number 10, making her the only woman in the Top Ten. As the chart stands, nine of the Top 20 are dead.

Quite surprised to see John Lennon in there at 5! THe reason I say that is I wonder who has ever really heard John sing ? Most of his recordings were laden with echo and John always mixed his voice down in the mix................The only time I have ever heard him sing is on Bootlegs and demos .................

Only ones on there who I don't have some admiration for are Tina Turner and that Matt guy I've never heard.

i have read somewhere that he didnt like his own voice, his cover of Twist And Shout is sublime rock vocals IMO
my dad saw the Beatles numerous times from 62-64 and has always said he could sing as good as anyone he has ever seen then and now
