Among the singers with an eyebrow-raising spot on the list is Elvis Presley, who is ranked at No. 17. He comes in just behind singers like John Lennon (No. 12) and Bob Dylan (No. 15), signifying that Rolling Stone's ranking order weighs both traditional vocal ability and cultural impact.
Still, the placement may surprise some readers given Elvis' enduring legacy. Interestingly, the King of Rock 'n' Roll also appears at No. 3 on Rolling Stone's Greatest Artists of All Time list. On that list, Elvis is still ranked behind Dylan (No. 2), and The Beatles (No. 1).
As far as Rolling Stone's list of the 200 Greatest Singers, many artists in the top spots are widely regarded as influential vocalists, like Aretha Franklin (ranked at No. 1) and Whitney Houston (No. 2). Other frontrunners on the list include Sam Cooke, Billie Holiday, and Mariah Carey, who, in 2008, actually surpassed Elvis' record as the solo artist with the most No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
