Now I, like most of you, am a Moz fanboy... but it's not biased to say that this ranking is outrageous. If he were ranked top 50 and I had an issue with that, that would be biased, but to put one of the most influential and talented singer/songwriters of the past 30 years barely on the list is abhorrable at best. The man croons like Sinatra, Elvis, Bowie, and TRex all together in one package; I mean, he's our generation's Sinatra dammit!
Without Morrissey, rock and roll as we know it today would be much different. Many of the credible bands that make up rock's current backbone beyond the commercial acts have been heavily influenced by Morrissey, especially with regard to lyrics and the important role they play now. Rock and roll music mostly used to be about banging girls, drinking, being wreckless, etc-rather gratifying subjects but ultimately meaningless when compared to life's real struggles.
The Smiths and Morrissey, as part of a greater indie movement (that eventually spilled over as the grunge era in america) spat in the face of vapid hair metal with lyrical depth set to beautiful chords, impeccable rhythm, and jangly hooks. Indeed, you now need just listen to hear Morrissey's broad influence; from laying foundation for grunge rock to being the inspiration behind every emo band since 2000.
Sure, he didn't do it alone... but what he has done, and continues to do, has to at least get you out of the lowly 90s. I wouldn't be surprised if this list was full of nonsense; just guessing but Scott Stapp of Creed is ranked isn't he? KidRock maybe? Sorry, to get off on a long rant here but numerous musicians, famous and not, cite Moz as a driving influence in their work. A-and did I mention he's our generation's Sinatra?! Jesus Christ...
