Rolling Stone, the title alone says so much, has another list going. The 100 Greatest Singers. Love to get the juice, comments and arguments going in high-gear. Bono's take on Dylan is here.
Bono & Dylan have always had a mutual admiration club. In describing what he likes about Dylan's singing, Bono shows some of his style. "Here are some of the adjectives I have found myself using to describe that voice: howling, seducing, raging, indignant, jeering, imploring, begging, hectoring, confessing, keening, wailing, soothing, conversational, crooning. It is a voice like smoke, from cigar to incense, where it's full of wonder and worship. There is a voice for every Dylan you can meet, and the reason I'm never bored of Bob Dylan is because there are so many of them, all centered on the idea of pilgrimage."
