Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers
-
Billy Joel's daughter Alexa Ray Joel sings really well.

Was digging on an old video tape of Sarah McLaughlin music vids from 1989-1994...her voice really is quite beautiful and deeply emotional, with colors and nuances even without the showy embellishments of miraculous sounding vibrato "runs"...but her lyrics too often strike one as bad poetry. You can seldom tell what the song's about. She missed a lot of chances to say and convey things which have meaning, insights, interest. But that doesn't really take away much from her Voice
I suppose. Her melodies are often beautiful. -
Fiona Apple, forgot to mention Apple as a very noteworthy singer/songwriter. She's in the news now for getting upset at a recent Portland, Oregon concert, after she was heckled by a fan because of her unhealthy, even sick-looking appearance. She's skin and bones with bad hair and white as a sheet, looks anorexic, or cancer or drug ridden. And perhaps that was also a bad picture of her. I hope she gets help. I've loved her songs in the past and should get Fiona's more recent music to hear if she still seems touched with genius.

Annie Lennox, Aaron Neville (of the Neville Brothers of New Orleans) and now, also--"Lorde"
-
Rickie Lee Jones? Bjork?
-
Joan Armatrading, damn she's good, I had all her albums as well as Ricki Lee's... Robbie Robertson
-
Bjork is only #60?! That's so unfair...
-
Nora Jones sings sort of like an angel...she's teaming up with the lead singer of Green Day for an album of Everly Brothers covers--why'd she pick this singer, he doesn't sing well, don't like his vocals
I wish someone else would sing these rockabilly kind of folky (some of them) classics with her. Wonder if Wings of A Nightengale by Paul Mc. will be included...hope so 
Ravi Shankar was her father! He taught George Harrison the sitar -
Juice Newton...Melissa Manchester...(LOL) NOT
-
Rolling Stone is a joke its all about the politics of music.
