As such this is a depth first hit on bossa nova which every nerd worth its salt should appreciate.
Top 10s are always tough, but I'll give it a shot. I have a penchant for the obscure, but if I were to consider total output, my list would be (I know I'm leaving some out)...
- Arthur Verocai (anything he arranged) - Joyce Moreno - Jorge Ben - Milton Nascimento - Edu Lobo - Nara Leao - Elis Regina - Marcos Valle - Gal Costa - Joao Donato
And a bonus top 5 groups
- Tamba Trio - Novos Baianos - Azymuth - Quarteto Em Cy - Dom Salvador's groups (Rio 65, Salvador Trio, etc.)

You're totally right but people can mourn here about those who have passed on if they want to and they are free to do so. Whether if a black bar will appear for this individual or if this post is allowed on the front page is another question.
However at this point, the guidelines on this orange site are not fit for purpose anyway. Not even the moderators here follow it and add 'exceptions' to the rule from time to time.
