  1. I can only really comment on your Country section, as that is pretty much all I have any authority. I agree with all of your picks except Carrie Underwood. I love her, but I am not sure she is the same calibur as your other picks. I do have believe you overlooked Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Shania Twain, The Judds, and Dolly Parton. Where would we be without Dolly?

    Great list and very fun to explore. -Rach

  2. I know, I can't believe I left off Brooks and Dunn. But this list was not a "most talented" or "best of" list, it was a list of my favorites, and Carrie Underwood is my favorite country artist. While the artists you listed are all very talented and high caliber, they are not my favorites.
