You gotta be shittin me !!!!!!

[Tyler Durden]

I'll agree I never rated her highly as an onstage performer, HOWEVER, as a voice I can't think of a better female singer

ooh well ill respond for u....
Dear "MR who ignited your tampon"

That's totally where I stopped reading

:24::24: :24: :24:

 

[RedRyder]

now back to Urethra

She is no way the #1 singer of the rock era. Not even in the top 100 probably. There is more to singing than having a nice voice.

I'd love to give you a spanking... :ninja



Who chose Aretha in the first place to be in the top?

 

[Alien Allen]

Marvin Gaye
Diana Ross
Otis Redding
Mick Jagger
David Bowie
Bryan Ferry
Tina Turner
Paul McCartney

just to name a few

I knew I should have stuck with those books.

I only got as far as Mr Tickle and Mr Bump.

I will refrain from correspondence from yourself,
As i seem to have hit a nerve over the net!!

I will also refrain from placing you on ignore,...
As i am highly entertained from your waffling...

Yours ..sat on the edge of her seat in expectation ...

Wedz...the "knows nothing about anything"

I knew you could not stay away. :24:

You are a fiery one aren't ya :nod:

Where exactly have I waffled??

did you read the link in the first post ???

I was responding to the question I thought which was who were better singers.

as to your question I believe it was ............

Franklin, 66, came in ahead of Ray Charles at No. 2, Elvis Presley at No. 3, Sam Cooke at No. 4 and John Lennon at No. 5, according to the magazine's survey of 179 musicians, producers, Rolling Stone editors, and other music-industry insiders.

^^^^ I checked out your link. Now I see why you were riled up. I can't believe just this small portion that shows she came in ahead of Elvis for goodness sakes, or even Ray or John. WTH?

and this.....

Voters included Metallica frontman James Hetfield, folk singers David Crosby and Yusuf Islam, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, punk rock veteran Iggy Pop and English pop star James Blunt. They each submitted their top 20 choices, and an accounting firm tabulated the results.

Not sure how that still worked out for Aretha, unless most of those who voted really liked her or felt sorry for her or whatever. Amazing.....

 

[Alien Allen]

I am not saying she is bad

But I have heard others who never made it to the big time with voices just as good.

Plus I can not stand her. She is the ultimate diva bitch. She has a trail of BS in her path.

and if you want to put her in the rock era then why not Frank Sinatra? She was no rock singer. She was soul, R&B and gospel

 

[RedRyder]

I like a lot of her hits.

But not to make her #1.

What were her sales versus the others on the list I wonder. Did that even matter with the vote... or was it just a popularity thing?

Bill.. the problem is Rolling Stone.. it's a piece of crap when it comes to music....

They either love a group or singer or hate them...

Ask Jim his opinion on Rolling Stone... you would end up getting an ear full!
