Interesting to see so many New Wave singers so near the top. Some really good music has come from that part of the world.

Iva Davies only #24? Laughable... but as always with those lists, good for a nice laugh inbetween.

admittedly i have no idea who alot of these people are, and alot of the little bios dont seem to want to name the band that some of the singers are from which might help me recognize them in some cases.
but for me colin hays voice has some warm inviting quality that is very unique and under appreciated on that list.

Would of thought Lisa Gerrard would of been worthy of a higher spot and am surprised that Billy Fields didn't get a mention.

Any list without Rolf Harris in the top ten is just bogus.
