This is a very interesting chart even without any notes — which does leave it missing a little.
Nevertheless, looking at the list does make me more than a little impressed at what I see. There are a few artists I need to spend some time listening to, and a number like Low and Robbie Bǎsho whom I do like but do not make my list. More significantly, the list has the diversity I really do crave.
