Out of curiosity, I did a poll recently on facebook. (Don't laugh - this is just a nice little bit of fun) -
I asked - From this list of 100, pick those who you consider the greatest singers.
The top five came in like this -
Freddie Mercury
226 votes
Elvis Presley
100 votes
Michael Jackson
90 votes
Luciano Pavarotti
68 votes
Bob Marley
57 votes
All the rest came under these, of course.
Now, I don't have any particular fans of any certain group on my page. Most people, from real life , the rest from a forum, not related to music. Freddie's votes were a huge leap up ahead of the rest.
Isn't that nice?
