I haven't spent nearly as much time with this as I'd like to (though it's just building on decades of listening and occasional making similar lists for myself and elsewhere, so a lot of the work had already been done), but I've had a couple weeks for my initial draft to percolate, so I'll probably take another look at the order and send maybe tomorrow. I'm gonna have to try not to think too hard about the order anyway, it's already maddening. But it's a better and more comprehensive list than I've done before, for sure. I have a top 60 or so including honorable mentions and I'm pretty happy with who I've selected in the whole grouping.
Anyone else have someone on this list AND the vocalist list? I've got one, maybe two.
Just one. Maybe a third of them do lead vocals on occasion, but most just aren't up to par for the vocal list.
Assuming I don't make any swaps in the next day or so - I have one that has passed, and 12 that are not from or no longer in the US. Genre is impossible to figure out, pretty much all have some relation to rock at least, but a lot are on my list for having some stylistic breadth.
I suspect there are about a third that have a shot at only being on my list, but I wouldn't be shocked if a few of those do get a vote or two. I have a pretty poor sense of what the overall final top 25 will be, but I'm suspecting most of mine won't be on it.
