This negates the entire list. Dude can write a song but can’t sing a note.

Would be number 1 if she released her cover of Bring your daughter... To the slaughter. I don't know why but her voice would just work.
Move over Bruce, Wing is in.

Sure, wouldn't argue otherwise. It's sold about ten million more copies. The average radio listener likes FM rock and finds crushingly bleak records about heroin less palatable lol
Where did Billie Holiday come on the list?
Disappointed no Barry from Eastenders in the top 200.
P.enty there for everybody to disagree with...or think - Yeah I can see that.
aka, you basic 'best of list' of whatever

Heavily opinionated lists like this are kinda dumb, they make some sense for subjective things like “best frontman”, “best band” etc but for specific skill sets its just a bit weird.
For example on what planet is Bob Dylan a good let alone great singer, he’s an objectively terrible singer with very little singing ability. Yes it kinda works within the context of his music but It’s his songwriting and lyrics that make him a great not his actual singing ability.
If you do a list about who the greatest at a specific skill is then you should base it on actual technical ability rather than “feels” or whatever. The list is still going to have a certain amount of opinion to it but no one is going to putting joke entries like Bob Dylan in.
imagine actually trying to tell someone with a straight face that Bob Dylan is a better singer than Bjork.
