Top 25 Singers/Vocalists

[Rock Candy]

I've noticed that there's a few top 5 or top 10 lists here in regards to singers, but in those sorts of things you always end up wishing you had a few more slots. Would people be up for racking your brains for a bit and producing a slightly bigger list of singers, or is it kinda pointless?

^^I'm terrible at the lists myself, it's hard to pick a favorite for me in almost any category.

I've been working my way through my top 50 singers for the last several months (geeze I had no idea it'd take this long) so I think I'd abstain from this, at least until finish up my list for sure.
