Sandy Denny was the queen of British folk voices. Alas, all that most Americans have heard is her singing on Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore". On top of that, she could party with John Bonham and Keith Moon (which is probably why she's dead now).
I suspect this poll reflects name recognition, not talent. Sandy Denny had more talent in her pinkie than Grace Slick has ever shown.
