hollies65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I was choosing ones I thought they'd pass up. They are not going to pass up Orbison. Robin Zander [Who should make it] won't be on there. I bet they don't put Petty on there either. Aside from those two...everyone on Eric's list will be there. Looking back at my list, they'll put Valli and Green and Pickett on. The others...no way, not Rolling Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Another one they'll miss...Glen Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hollies65 - Mark Volman? My guess is he's primarily known as Kaylan's backup vocalist, even though he did sing quite a few co-leads in The Turtles, and yeah, you're right, he won't make it.If Petty makes it, will Roger McGuinn (whom Petty basically copied in his earliest releases) also make the list?Other deserving singers who likely won't make it -James CarrFrankie MillerChris FarloweDon Covay (if anyone wants to hear who Jagger was trying to sound like....)Phil LynottGlen DanzigLemmy (just kidding!........)

hollies65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sorry,sorry,sorry! I meant KAYLAN!! Of course! [i know you know that's who I meant...heh]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 One more...Jackie Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 "Sorry,sorry,sorry! I meant KAYLAN!! Of course! [i know you know that's who I meant...heh]."Actually, I thought you might have presumed that Howard K. would make it (very doubtful)....and Mark WAS/IS a way-underappreciated singer himself.....Could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jackie Wilson make that list....

hollies65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Aretha Franklin is #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I would presume that the Top 100 list, which comes out Friday, will have quite a few women on it. We already know that Aretha's #1 and Tina Turner's at #17. I'm guessing the list could include any of the following: Ronnie Spector, Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Darlene Love, Karen Carpenter, Bettye LaVette, etc.Here, BTW, is MOJO's list of the Top 100 singers, from a 1998 issue of the magazine:(It's a Brit magazine, and they've gone back prior to the rock & roll era, which the Rolling Stone list does not....) There are 28 women in this list below -1 - Aretha Franklin 2 - Frank Sinatra 3 - Ray Charles 4 - John Lennon 5 - Billie Holiday 6 - Marvin Gaye 7 - Elvis Presley 8 - Stevie Wonder 9 - Sam Cooke 10 - Otis Redding 11 - Bob Dylan 12 - Nat King Cole 13 - Paul McCartney 14 - Ella Fitzgerald 15 - Van Morrison 16 - Hank Williams 17 - Nina Simone 18 - George Jones 19 - Joni Mitchell 20 - Roy Orbison 21 - Little Richard 22 - Jackie Wilson 23 - James Brown 24 - Al Green 25 - Patsy Cline 26 - Mick Jagger 27 - Dusty Springfield 28 - Everly Brothers 29 - Bjork 30 - Little Willie John 31 - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 32 - Tony Bennett 33 - Dinah Washington 34 - Jeff Buckley 35 - Karen Carpenter 36 - Peggy Lee 37 - Sarah Vaughan 38 - Tina Turner 39 - David Bowie 40 - Gladys Knight 41 - Tim Buckley 42 - Dionne Warwick 43 - Mahalia Jackson 44 - Bonnie Raitt 45 - Luciano Pavarotti 46 - Iggy Pop 47 - Brian Wilson 48 - Muddy Waters 49 - Howlin’ Wolf 50 - Bing Crosby 51 - Rod Stewart 52 - Johnny Mathis 53 - Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland 54 - Chet Baker 55 - Carl Wilson 56 - Donny Hathaway 57 - Bono 58 - Paul Rodgers 59 - David Ruffin 60 - Elizabeth Fraser 61 - Chrissie Hynde 62 - John Lydon 63 - Maria Callas 64 - Mavis Staples 65 - Ray Davies 66 - Bob Marley 67 - Smokie Robinson 68 - Stevie Winwood 69 - Thom Yorke 70 -Louis Armstrong 71 - Robert Johnson 72 - Neil Young 73 - Nick Drake 74 - Scott Walker 75 - Glen Campbell 76 - Janis Joplin 77 - Ronnie Spector 78 - John Lee Hooker 79 - Jim Morrison 80 - Etta James 81 - Kate Bush 82 - Lefty Frizzell 83 - Levi Stubbs 84 - Luther Vandross 85 - Merle Haggard 86 - Nick Cave 87 - The Gibb Brothers 88 - Edith Piaf 89 - Dean Martin 90 - Jimi Hendrix 91 - Judy Garland 92 - Tom Jones 93 - Liam Gallagher 94 - Chuck Berry 95 - Kurt Cobain 96 - Robert Plant 97 - Steve Marriott 98 - Betty Carter 99 - Bruce Springsteen 100 - K.D.

Daisy McLintock Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 John - thank you very kindly for that list, but when I made my post I was kinda referring to the people in this thread, that no women were mentioned. But its nice to know a few women (a mere 28 out of 100) are in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 "....I was kinda referring to the people in this thread, that no women were mentioned...."But Daisy, that could be a good thing...the lists most of us were posting were our lists of singers whom we felt Rolling Stone would probably ignore or leave off of their list!
