Mojo Filter's Top 50 Male Solo Artists
Following my list of Top 50 Bands, I've decided to explore my Top 50 Male Solo Artists who have entertained and inspired me throughout my life. The list includes singers from across many genres: pop, rock, folk, rap, R&B, and soul. I will feature my favorite songs, and, occasionally, the top album pick for each artist. Hope you enjoy! Here goes... 50. JOE JACKSON http://veneratomaestrooppure.files.w...oe-jackson.jpgI was introduced to English new wave singer Joe Jackson at a very early age. My family owned a record album of his, 1982's Night And Day, and that was how I got exposed to his cool music. My favorite songs: Is She Really Going Out With Him? One More Time Breaking Us In Two You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want) Steppin' Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBJUHvQPFTI |
49. CHUCK BERRY http://www.billboard.com/files/media/chuck-berry_0.jpgRevered by many artists, including The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones, as an inspiration and a rock 'n roll pioneer, and even though I do not know his entire catalog and was never a huge fan, Chuck Berry is one of the biggest legends in rock history. My favorite songs: Roll Over Beethoven You Never Can Tell Maybellene Rock n' Roll Music Run Rudolph Run Johnny B. Goode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ROwVrF0Ceg |
48. GLENN FREY http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/73...fe59722084.jpg After The Eagles disbanded, Glenn Frey launched a successful solo career, peaking in the 80's with a whole bunch of Top 10 hit singles. I always thought both him and his music were cool. My favorite songs: The One You Love Smuggler's Blues Part Of Me, Part Of You I Got Mine The Heat Is On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU8L0-RkDYU |
47. AL GREEN http://www.bet.com/content/betcom/to...c-al-green.jpg I was exposed to Al Green's soulful music through the many movies in which his songs were featured. He's one of the greatest R&B singers of all time. My favorite songs: Tired Of Being Alone Love And Happiness Look What You Done For Me I'm Still In Love With You Here I Am (Come And Take Me) Let's Stay Together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzYxqG9N1c |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 50 Male Solo Artists
Interesting idea for a list. I'm not sure if I could count 20 male solo singers that I like, let alone 50, but I appreciate your efforts.
I hope to see Don Henley somewhere on your list since Glenn Frey has already made an appearance. |
I thought you had Ed Sheeran at # 50 and Joe Jackson at #48. Now you have Joe Jackson at #50 and Glenn Frey at #48. Am I remembering wrong or did you change your #50 and #48 artists? :confused:

46. JIMI HENDRIX http://www.musiclipse.com/wp-content...er-desktop.jpg Arguably the best guitarist in rock history, Jimi also was an accomplished singer whose songs play like classic anthems. My favorite songs: All Along The Watchtower Foxy Lady The Wind Cries Mary Hey Joe Purple Haze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjwWjx7Cw8I |

I did. I was still working on my list. Sadly, some artists lost their spot in favor of other worthy artists. Sorry for the confusion. The rest of the list is intact. |

I had more than 50 artists that I listed originally, but narrowed it down to that number. What can I say? I am a huge music fanatic! Stick around... |
45. JACKSON BROWNE http://teachrock.org/media/img/Jackson_Browne_1977.JPGI didn't get into Jackson Browne until a few years ago, and what I discovered was what an incredible singer he is. My favorite songs: Running On Empty Lawyers In Love Tender Is The Night The Pretender Doctor My Eyes Somebody's Baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTE5ep2ddco |
44. BUDDY HOLLY http://www.hologramusa.com/wp-conten...uddy-Holly.jpgBuddy Holly was one of the pioneers of rock 'n roll in the 50's. He had such a huge impact on young musicians everywhere, including The Beatles. My favorite songs: Peggy Sue Everyday Oh, Boy! That'll Be The Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nrInsANB8Q |
43. EDDIE MONEY http://fanart.tv/fanart/music/0e9908...c98975c7d2.jpg Eddie was one of the coolest rockers of the 80's. His songs were all over the place. He was such an incredible talent that faded fast. My favorite songs: Baby Hold On Two Tickets To Paradise Shakin' Think I'm In Love Take Me Home Tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RR6xJ0gWH8 |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 50 Male Solo Artists
Your not hitting on my faves yet but you listen to a whole lot more music than me. Don't think I could do a male solo list this big. Glad goodies mentioned the switch-a-roo. I thought I was losing it.
|
Browne's Somebody's Baby is probably my favorite song from all the artists so far. They're all good, but I'm not that keen on Money.
|
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 50 Male Solo Artists
Eddie Money is my favourite out of the list so far, but he's only got about three songs that I really love.
|
42. SAM COOKE https://fanart.tv/fanart/music/6c8fd...b8479ec5d7.jpg I discovered Sam Cooke's amazing voice and sweet melodies through the many movies his music was featured in. He's easily one of the greatest R&B and soul singers of all time. My favorite songs: Chain Gang You Send Me (I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons Cupid A Change Is Gonna Come Wonderful World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E29b9N5UI0 |
41. RAY CHARLES http://www.americanmusicproject.org/...eff-5-1985.jpg There is no way a list of the greatest solo artists could be compiled without mentioning one of the most magnificent musicians of our time, Mr. Ray Charles. I know some might think I've committed a crime by placing him just south of my Top 40, but I haven't thoroughly explored his catalog. If I revisit this list a few years from now, Ray might be somewhere in my Top 30. My favorite songs: Hit The Road Jack You Don't Know Me Mess Around I've Got A Woman Georgia On My Mind Ol' Man River https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1kQTYFXeCE |
40. ERIC CLAPTON http://www.bestrockpics.com/data/med...aper%20(6).jpgAside from being a legendary rock guitarist and accomplished recording artist, I always thought Eric Clapton was one of the coolest guys in the music business. My favorite songs: I Shot The Sheriff Cocaine Wonderful Tonight Layla Change The World Father's Eyes Blue Eyes Blue Tears In Heaven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPj3GAYYZ0 |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 50 Male Solo Artists
Thumbs up for Chuck Berry and especially for Eric Clapton, both legendary musicians.
|
Clapton is my favorite so far
