No Sandie Shaw or Nancy Sinatra? Or friends like James Maker? I'm thinking that he hasn't met any of those people on that list and that's probably why they are on there.

No Patti Smith? Joni Mitchell? The omission of Kristeen Young also seems a bit harsh considering how in awe of her talents and in love with her he claimed to be in his autobiography. And where's our Happy New Year message?
These are not his favourite artists by any means, but his most revered singers. Technically speaking I suppose.
His top 15 favourite artists would look entirely different, I'm ure.
Tim Buckley > all the rest of those choices.
Kind of strange that Morrissey just decided out of nowhere to tell us his list of favourite singers, but ... ok? Guess he has to do something with his time since he isn't making music.

What! No Sam Bailey, she's my number one...I won a cool grand when she romped home in the X factor.
I don't think he has ever considered Linder a 'favourite' singer, she is just a friend. As for David-NYD is his favourite band, this is just a list of favourite singers as in solo.I think this list represents Morrissey's "most revered singers" this week.
He's always wavered back and forth in regards to his all-time favorite singers: Linder, Siouxie, Sacha, Jobriath, David Johansen, etc.
Ask him to compile the same list next week and the countdown will be different.

Then he likes NYD(obviously) just doesn't consider David a good singer.Not so sure about the solo angle. Philippe Wynne was best known as the lead singer of The Spinners. General Johnson was the lead singer of the group Chairmen of the Board. Bobby Hatfield was one half of the Righteous Brothers. Levi Stubbs was best known as the lead singer of the Four Tops.

He did have a falling out with Siouxie Sioux after they recorded interlude, so her absence is not surprising to me.
The list is very heavily male dominated too...
