consequence.net/list/the-100-best-vocalists-of-all-time

“There are singers, and there are vocalists. The best vocalists don’t rest on natural gifts, but instead use their creativity and vision to push their instruments where no one else could go. From Freddie Mercury’s range and Aretha Franklin’s swagger to Kendrick Lamar’s goblin tones and Tom Waits’ mad experiments, we celebrate vocalists the way we celebrated our favorite guitarists, bassists, and drummers: personality first.

To generate our list of the top 100 vocalists of all time, we polled over 50 musicians, including Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of ’26er Steve Stevens, rising stars like Samia, Blondshell, and Kneecap, and established icons Randy Blythe, Mike Patton, and Linda Perry, plus many more. After we assembled the surveys into the spine of the list, our staff chimed in with more picks, mostly historical, to round things out. The final ranking is a curated perspective on the hundreds of names that were nominated.”

They just baiting Drake and his fanbase at this point. Lol.

Gotten to the point they making a.i lists now

Consequence is so real for putting Mike Patton at #8

Like how you gonna leave out the number 1 singing rapper in a list full of other rappers?

Kate Bush way too low

this lowkey attention seeking lists after the New York Times one yesterday

How tf is Biggie on this list but not Pac?

Pac got the greatest voice and delivery in rap history (both should be on)

Consequence?

this one is actually hilarious

metal vocalists and rappers ranked amongst classic soul singers seemingly at random

Kendrick's vocal ability ranked right above Sam Cooke, Jeff Buckley, Stevie Wonder and Billie Holiday

Little Richard at #88
