Hold on, it's not what it seems...the list was chosen by Rufus Wainwright. There's loads of other Morrissey references too - see links below.
The list is as follows:
1: Judy Garland
2: Stevie Nicks
3: Dusty Springfield
4: Madonna
5: Kylie Minogue
6: Morrissey
7: Barbra Streisand
8: Pink
9: Prince
10: Kate Bush
This is what Rufus has to say about Morrissey:
"Whether he's gay or not, he is the gay Elvis. He is among the greatest entertainers of our time. The banter, the dancing, the stage-craft, it all conspires and you know exactly what Morrissey is. He is heroic. He is a total pachage, like Dean Martin or Prince."
You can find the full list (with comment) here...http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,,1942438,00.html
He's also mentioned in Miranda Sawyer's article here...http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/comment/story/0,,1942295,00.html
Martin Rossiter on Morrissey here (number 18)...http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/story/0,,1942701,00.html
