So, why not ringo he was part of the Beatles. I thought Evenly brothers was a group.

Stevie Wonder 10. James Brown 11. Paul McCartney 12. Little Richard 13. Roy Orbison 14. Al Green 15. Robert Plant 16. Mick Jagger 17. Tina Turner 18. Freddie Mercury 19. Bob Marley 20. Smokey Robinson Personally, I'd put Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney higher and James Brown much lower. I'd put Paul above John as a vocalist as well... but it's a closely run race and all down to personal preference. There's a certain irony to Paul McCartney beating Little Richard by one spot!

I would put Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury much higher - Plant was not only a great vocalist but helped to invent the hard rock vocal style (along with Ian Gillan and a few others), and Freddie Mercury was just a flat-out god. And damn straight Barb - what about Van Morrison?
