EWB's Top 50 Singers of All Time: The Results

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Morrissey

MJ and Marley being there is great to see, although Jackson would be in my top three with pure ease, but at least he's on the list.

[Pala]

Micheal Jackson is higher in my books. He is a great singer, no need to think about his personal life. He has has alot of great songs.

[Sousa]

Wow, how tired am I that I looked at that Geoff Tate picture and thought it was Brutus Beefcake.

[Jook]

Yay Morrissey. Go me and someone else.

Me

[Loonerty]

I didn't vote, but I hope Matthew Bellamy made the list...

[GoGo Yubari]

I didn't vote, but I hope Matthew Bellamy made the list...

Um. He made the list twenty spots ago.

Update coming soon, probably today. Or will it? Oooooh.

[Loonerty]

Hmm. How did I not see that?

[lari]

Geoff Tate: Awesome voice, but needs to save it for singing.

Seriously, he needs to shut up about politics already.

[GoGo Yubari]

Okay let's do this, especially since this batch is so beautiful.

15. Bruce Springsteen (24 pts, 5 ballots)

14. Mike Patton (25 pts, 3 ballots)

13. Otis Redding (27 pts, 4 ballots)

12. Tom Waits (30 pts, 5 ballots)

11. Marvin Gaye (31 pts, 4 ballots)

NEXT TIME: I love this section. While I'm not a huge Springsteen fan and I've never liked Faith No More, I think this is by far the highest level of awesome of any single batch of five names in this countdown, and there's real awesome streak going here. Coming next, at tenth place; c-c-c-c-c-COMBO BREAKER.

The overall quality is definitely improving but the biggest sadness is the magnificent Jonsi being so low.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Tom Waits at 12? I can't argue with that. I suppose I'd prefer Top 10, but Top 15's cool. Marvin Gaye should've been Top 10.

[EWFan]

Marvin Gaye should've been Top 10.

Agreed.

[New Damage]

Trying to think who still may be to come...

Cornell is a given, and I'm thinking Layne Staley too possibly, or even Mark Lanegan, but less-so as he's not as well known as the other two.

Rob Halford.

[apsham]

Hats Off To Halford.

[BuddyAwesome]

I really don't think anybody else voted for him except me, though.

[blaze1992]

Freddie Mercury better be Number 1.

[James Casey]

17. Jónsi Birgisson (21 pts, 4 ballots)

Looks like Jeff Hardy's twin...

And in actual comments on the list, can we expect Jeff Buckley and one/both Gallagher brothers to show up at some point? Otherwise, Elvis, Dionne Warwick... Maybe Tom Jones?

[GoGo Yubari]

... some of these guesses are completely hysterical.

Also, this is a special update because I want to do the top nine in three updates of three and also because this guy deserves to be his own post and you can decide what that statement means all by yourselves, EWBers.

10. Chris Cornell (33 pts, 4 ballots)

NEXT TIME: Nothing from the '90s!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Quite possibly the best worst picture ever.
