It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"Worse than useless"

Very true, Brian. I like physical halls of fame that are interesting, educational and fun to visit, but a simple list of names? No.
And in addition to the pro-Brit bias, how about the anti-French bias? No French names other than Boulez? As great a composer as he is (at least IMO, I know that's a controversial statement), would you rank him as a conductor that far ahead of Pierre Monteux?
You rightly mention instrumentalists Pierre Fournier and Marcel Tabuteau. Jean-Pierre Rampal might belong in the list, too, and the Belgian Arthur Grumiaux. And you certainly could have mentioned some French singers like Crespin and Souzay.
I guess we need to read the list in Diapason to get some balance. ;)
