While I think you have a wonderful list here, I would have to remove a few and replace with:

Carlos Santana
George Michael
Bee Gees
Rod Stewart
Lenny Kravitz (screw all the haters)

I won't say who I'd remove as everyone you've listed is very talented, but some
are not my cup of tea.

Is fine... But those are my personal favourites though. Most of them who I've always listened to the most

Should have made myself more clearer. Thanks for your feedback though

I don't have any since Prince passed; I like diversity and hearing new songs/artists...and switching up periods of listening to old favorite artists.
