Aretha Franklin, the 66-year-old music legend, beat the likes of Ray Charles, Elvis Presley and John Lennon in Rolling Stone magazine's recent tally of the top vocalists in the rock and roll era.

To compile the list of the top 100 vocalists, the magazine polled more than 179 music industry insiders, from singers, musicians and producers to Rolling Stone editors themselves. Canadians who made the cut include Neil Young (No. 37) and Joni Mitchell (No. 42). Christina Aguilera (No. 58), Thom Yorke (No. 66) and Mariah Carey (No. 79) are among the contemporary singers singled out.

Moderator's Edit-YouTube video removed.

The video had already been taken down anyhow, and this way I can re-approve the post. I left the person's name that you had chosen though.

I thought this topic was supposed to be about the Rock Era or Rock in paticular..... how the hell does Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey get on there?

I can't even take this seriously or believe it to be anything close to accurate if they got those two in the 100 "top vocalists in the rock and roll era."

DId they run out of actual rock bands/artists?

Anyways, to throw my two cents in, I would say Jim Morrison, Robert Plant, Jeff Martin, Maynard James Keenan and Todd Kerns for starters.

I've got so many favorites: Obviously Elvis and John Lennon at the top of the list, Blondie, Little Richard, John Fogarty, Tina Turner, Cliff Richards, and many more but Aretha Franklin would not be ahead of anybody on my list

You know dark, he suffers from a serious muscular disorder that make him appear as he does, but that does not absolve him from being drunk.
