Gene Simmons isn’t holding anything back when it comes to a highly controversial Rolling Stone list ranking the top 200 singers of all time … according to the publication.

We caught up with the KISS rocker who weighed in after the magazine posted its “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” … which snubbed a lot of music icons in the process.

Simmons tells us it’s all about who’s popular and who’s not … saying the whole thing is skewed and often one-sided.

Gene says the list isn’t necessarily about singing, it’s more about style and who has a recognizable voice.

As we reported … folks like Aretha, Whitney, Adele, Michael, Mariah, Freddie made the list, while others like Celine Dion, Cher and even KISS were left off, sending social media into a frenzy.

When it comes to his own snub, he says he doesn’t “give a f***” about missing the cut, even taking a dig at RS and mentioning he wanted to buy it at one time.
