15 Vocalists

Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen vocalists that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes and in no particular order. Tag fifteen friends, and me, because I'm interested in seeing what singers my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note).

This was fun to think about. (I'm listing them with one of my favorite songs of theirs.) I tried to do this quickly like the instructions said. So in some cases I may have not listed my favorite song that features their vocals, and I probably left someone really important off the list who should take a weaker choice's spot (I'm looking at you David Lee Roth). And this is in no particular order:

1. Elvis Presley - Burnin' Love

2. Freddy Mercury - Somebody to Love

3. Robert Plant - Baby Come on Home

4. Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness

5. David Lee Roth - Running with the Devil

6. Whitney Houston - Greatest Love of All

7. Al Green - Let's Stay Together

8. Michael Jackson - I Want You Back

9. Van Morrison - Sweet Thing

10. Geoff Tate - Silent Lucidity

11. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

12. John Lennon - Twist and Shout

13. Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman

14. Ronnie James Dio - Rainbow in the Dark

15. Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz
