Musicians. How about that? Could be a band or solos or musical composers

They would fall under musicians. I can't exclude people like Beethoven - I made a mistake writing 'singers' instead of 'musicians'. I can't edit it now

Wtf. Even with the new wording it's hard to gauge what exactly you want. Sick of listening to 1,200 songs, but your top 30ish contains the Beatles, Beethoven and One Direction. That's ok - kinda- but only scratching the surface and any of those "genres" could be explored by yourself. Also what are your favourite Beatles songs? "I wanna hold your hand" is a whole different musical style than "I am the walrus".

Whatever my 10 favourite musicians/bands/singers rn are:

Stones, Queen, Beatles, Bowie, Opeth, ACDC, Aerosmith, Slayer, Led Zeppelin and Motörhead.

If you want recommendations rather ask for those than top 10 lists.

I can't think of the right general term that would include Beatles, Beethoven and solos like Bob Marley.. Other than 'musicians'.

I'm not really differentiating by genre - I don't listen to hard rock personally, but it's fine. Just list your favorite 10.

if you like Bach, then you might enjoy what Johann Christian Bach has to offer

my favorite singer right now is Chris Cornell, but other close ones are Whitney Houston and, of course, Mariah Carey

I'm not really differentiating by genre - I don't listen to hard rock personally, but it's fine. Just list your favorite 10. We've now three pages of confusion. They are music artists (bands + solo). I would then make a point of requesting the inclusion of classical composers (personally, I exclude them). Musician, to me, has a narrower definition.

If you're amenable to what Overdrive has suggested re recommendations, I'd encourage you to peruse the "What music..." thread.

Jimi Hendrix

you really think Hendrix has that good of a singing voice, 'cuz I don't. I don't think Eric Clapton can sing outstandingly well, either.

He asked for favorite singers. I don’t care if someone is a “technically great singer” that much. Billy Corgan wouldn’t be one of my favorites if so.
