Rolling Stones Mag Faces Wrath Over Decade-Old ‘Greatest Singers’ List, Twitter Demands ‘Whitney Houston Be Placed Higher’

Rolling Stones Magazine had once curated a list of what their editors thought were the ‘100 Greatest Singers Of All Time’ and it then layed somewhere in dust with the zillion other such lists that have been created before or since.

But apparently its just now that Twitterati is discovering the ‘controversial’ picks of the ‘mainly Rock’ publication and they are certainly not happy with some of the placements.

The ongoing online debate is mainly focused on Whitney Houston’s eyebrow-raising poor placement on #34, making social media call the whole list a big ‘rock purist’ sham!



While you’d find several other lists online with Houston’s placement being at least in the Top 3, people’s couldn’t let go off the ‘blasphemy’ done by Stones more than a decade ago.

Placing Houston at #34, the list sees artists like Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Bono and even Roy Orbinson – placed ahead of her.

Yes! Bono, better than THE Whitney Houston, according to Stones. While a lot of these ‘singers’ are known for their music and songwriting skills, few of them come to your mind when you think about ‘great singing.’

Although we have known about this list for years and have already thrown it into the bin, check out some of these reactions from Twitter of people who just found out about it:
