Ariel's Top 50 Singer of All Time

50 Penyanyi Favorit Ariel Aditya

Musik instrumental memang seru, tapi jauh lebih seru musik yang disertai vokal. 99% lagu yang berkesan / populer pasti menampilkan / ada unsur vokal di dalamnya. Bagi gw, penyanyi adalah salah satu element terpenting dalam musik (lagu), bahkan bisa dibilang yang terpenting. Vokal seorang penyanyi dapat menyampaikan mood suatu lagu dengan sempurna dan tiada hari tanpa lagu!

Berikut adalah daftar 50 penyanyi terfavorit gw sampai saat ini (bisa berubah di kemudian hari). Karya-karya dan vokal mereka bisa dibilang mengiringi kehidupan gw sehari-hari terutama dalam kondisi senang ekstrim dan sedih ekstrim. Masih sangat banyak penyanyi yang gw suka yang tidak masuk ke dalam daftar seperti misalnya Michael Jackson, George Harrison, Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Buckley, Stuart Murdoch, Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Beck, Jack White, Van Morrison, Ronnie James Dio, PJ Harvey, Al Green, David Byrne, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Serge Gainsbourg, Alice Cooper, Ringo Starr, Brian May, Roger Taylor, David Gilmour, Richard Ashcroft, Billy Corgan, Jimi Hendrix, Adrian Belew, Michael Stipe, Nick Drake, Bon Scott, Axl Rose, Stephen Stills, John Fogerty, Paul Rodgers, Liam Gallagher, Pete Shelley, Paul Westerberg, Donovan, Robert Smith, James Hetfield, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Stephin Merritt, dan masih banyak lagi.
