I was expecting Whitney Houston to be higher in the list, there's really no one like her.
Bingo. I'm not sure that her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was taken into consideration by this site.

#62It’sa sad day when shallow content like this reaches the HN front-page. Calling a narrow subset of U.S.American/UK artists as “greatest artists of all time” is a big joke on the art of singing.
Others are complaining about missing Nusrat Khan, or Dimash but heck, they didn’t even include Western greats like Pavarotti!

#63Missing Ariana Grande who hits C7 on several songs (and live).
Re: The vocal ranges of the greatest artists of all time
#64I don't know much about the subject, but take Mariah Carey (not trying to pick on the girls, honest), but she can make a really high pitch sound, so does that count? Or does she have to be able to actually _sing_ at that note for it to count?

#65Searched Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, couldn't find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusrat_Fateh_Ali_Khan
Correct title "greatest artists in the West"?
More accurate would be "A selection of well-known Western pop musicians". Kind of strange that hn is giving airtime to something like this.

Ooor instead of being angry about the page and calling it a sad day, you could be happy about the interesting discussion it generated? Lots of new stuff here I've never heard about that was cool to check out.

#67Ann Wilson. Also, dudes have an advantage in falseto.
How so? Both men and women have a falsetto register.

#68Not a complete list without Bruce Dickinson !
Here’s a longer list with some of the best vocalists, headed by none other than Mike Patton. https://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2014/05/digging-deeper-axl-...
Interesting list, surprised to see Doug Pinnick on there. I'm mainly familiar with his bluesy style with Kings-X in the early 90s and would not have suspected he had that kind of range.
Re: The vocal ranges of the greatest artists of all time
#69would be nice to sort by some sort of date method where we could see the increase in pitch of pop singing over time
Re: The vocal ranges of the greatest artists of all time
#70No Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden; he has one of the highest ranges.
Also Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge
