Julie Andrews? One of the great Broadway and movie voices...which reminds of another hit maker by proxy, Marni Nixon who was the voice in the movie versions of "The King and I" and "My Fair Lady." Nixon's son is Andrew Gold who wrote and sang Thank You For Being A Friend (Golden Girls theme) among other tunes.
Other good voices, prog rocker vocalist extraodinaire Jon Anderson of Yes. Johnny Maestro of Sixteen Candles and Brooklyn Bridge fame can still bring it.

Another great female singer they forgot about was Jo Stafford, who just died a few months ago.

Neat to see the handwritten picks by some of the members of the panel that selected the list:

Now as a song writer, he might have a shot.

Is this purely a list of rock n' rollers? How can they not have Ella Fitzgerald in there, who's better than all of those female singers except for Aretha Franklin? (She used to do a great impression of Aretha as well). Or Cassandra Wilson? No Whitney Houston?
As for the men, whatever you think of the man, Michael Jackson needs to be higher in terms of actual voice reasons as opposed to music. And how can Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney be ahead of David Bowie? He's by far the best of the Brits.
Oh and Tina Turner could do clear as well - just listen to River Deep Mountain High. Never heard anyone sing like that!
By the way, maybe I'm biased, but the best female jazz singer of the current crop isn't signed and has been out of the business for a while. But she is a friend of mine, Helen Adamson. She's on MySpace if you want to listen to her.
