Seriously, when is the last time they got a music related list anywhere close to good. Now I realize that lists such as these will invariably create controversy, you're shocked some things are included, while just as shocked some are excluded. I'd just love to know the criteria by which this is all based.
Because folks you can go ahead and scan the entire list below, and while you find the likes of Axl Rose sitting comfortably at #64, you will not find -- nope, you don't need your eyes checked -- YOU WILL NOT FIND The Chairman Of The Board, Mr. Frank Sinatra.
At all.
Among the "100 Greatest Singers Of All Time."
Aaaaaand I'd say that probably rings the final bell on Rolling Stone officially being shit
