As a Sherbet/Daryl Braithwaite fan, a bit disappointed to see the great man slotted in at 22. I reckon he's top 10 myself. But I'm biased.

Wow, i don't know where to start with that list. John Farnem and Tina Arena at 1 and 3, Guy Sebastian at 6 and Nick Cave at 17.

I didn't know that Sia Furler was Australian.

edit: finished the list and think it's the worst list i've ever seen. I can't even imagine the basis for deciding that list and the people involved.

 

[La Dispute]

Gareth Liddiard at 68...

Australian pop music has kind of a tragic history.

 

[nicky]

I think that list was created to troll Australians

 

[JackNah_8]

I agree with John F at no1.

But some are questionable, and I think Darren Hayes should've been ranked higher.

And, Kylie at 52? um ok, she isnt really know her vocally talents.

 

[bunsen burner]

Tex Perkins too low. Has a great voice.

 

[Bazzar]

How you can have a top 100 without Angie Hart, Grace Knight and Wendy Matthews is beyond me. And Jeff Duff not on the list is a disgrace.

And Barnes at 5? Talk about voting peer pressure.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Jimmy Barnes hasn't sung in years - just tours with that scream of his. Which is a pity, because when he used to actually sing - he had a hell of a voice.

 

[Plugger35]

Good to see Chrissy Amphlett get a guernsey in the top 10.

Steve Kilbey, Mark Seymour and James Reyne should all be higher, their unique voices are big part of why The Church, Hunters & Collectors and Australian Crawl are such great bands.

Disgrace there's no Martin Plaza or Greedy Smith in the top 100.

Yeah his voice isn't what it used to be but he had a great voice going back 20-30 years ago, he could belt out a tune that's for sure and Cold Chisel wouldn't have been the same without him. Worthy of the top 10 imo.

 

[Holy Foley!]

Seems like they're rating some of them as musicians rather than singers. Gotye, for example, really doesn't have that great a voice. Also Guy Sebastian at 6 is a joke, terrible singer and musician. Ian Kenny is way to low at #94. IMO one of the best male voices in the country at the moment.

 

[blackshadow]

Thread should be renamed A list to wipe your arse with

 

[West Coast Weasel]

Wow, Paul Kelly not in the top 10, Sarah Blasko not in the top 20 and the acknowledgement of the Bee Gees as a group but separating Barnsey and Ian Moss.

 

[thurmanmunson]

If this was Schindler's List, there still wouldn't be anyone on there worth saving.

MAKE ME A HINGE

 

[The Passenger]

the only thing i liked about that list was the recongnition of chrissy amphlett who has a fantastic voice even though i'm only familiar with a handful of divinyls tunes

 

[Gus Poyet]

Seriously... No Grace Knight in the top 100?

 

[Gus Poyet]

Frank Ifield should also make any top 100 Aussie singers list. Bloody good voice he had.

I remember you.

Lumping Barry and Robin Gibb together on these lists is such a bunch of horse shit.

Completely different voices, and whenever the band is listed as one it makes you think that no one's ever listened to their music.

It'd be like saying Brian and Carl Wilson counted as one voice.

 

[Gus Poyet]

I remember you.

So do the Beatles!

Frank was the only Aussie to have the Beatles as his support act at a gig.

Great trivia. What was the actual story behind that?

I grew up with the oldies playing him on the old turntable. Great voice.

I think it was down to a guy called Arthur Howes and Epstein calling him to get a support gig.

Frank was the first British based artist to have three #1 million selling records. The only other person at that time to have done that was Elvis Presley.

And they put out these which are worth a pretty penny these days.

 

[Bazzar]

How cool is that. I wonder if their is some youtube or downloads of it.

Quite often they would sing the lead together and it would be hard to figure out of if it was Robin or Barry especially on the early falsetto stuff as well as the normal voices.
It's a pity the AFL never invited them to do a Grand Final.

Was this written by a 12 year old?

The youngest singer in the Top 10, Guy Sebastian has made a major impression since winning the inaugural Australian Idol ten years ago. Sebastian has relied on his talent to silence an endless string of haters and his vocal and songwriting skills have now seen credibility added to his truckload of record sales.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Who cares about good singers? As the Silver Jews sang, "all my favourite singers couldn't sing."
