What do you think of this list? Seems like there's some notable oudists missing.

I like how there are some Armenian players whom I didn't know of until now.

You know that it is very very difficult to classify things that are not similar, especially, when it comes to tast...and without a Valid framework :a list of criterias and with consensus on it. To get this framework, subjectivity comes, and so one. Therefore, my seven-top list might never be yours... nevertheless we share the same (culture, taste, values...). For myself, I have many lists, depending on the styles : Turkish style list, Iraqi style list, andalousian, charqi, etc... but, like you say (majnuunNavid), it's good to do like exercise, me too, I discovered the first 2 players for the first time, even though I've been playing oud for 40 years...
