Nicolas, Jackson, would you mind sending me the spreadsheets for the all-time lists you guys ran?

The list is ready to go, bigger and better than the 2008 version.

If that is still possible, you can add 111) Replacements and 112) Godspeed You Black Emperor becaue I've just seen that I forgot them in my list

Ech, my list changed a lot since I have send it.

I should have put the lovin spoonful and radiohead on my list!

My list has changed too, but I haven't changed the spreadsheet- I want to keep it as an honest reflection of the deadline. Oh, and only the top 100 count, but I will post longer lists as well.

when can we expect the list to be revealed?

When will you reveal the results?

Hi everybody,

I'm writing this from work (don't tell anyone!) as my laptop completely died on me after having it for just over a year. Unfortunately, all of the youtube links, pics, etc. as well as the master spreadsheet were contained on it. I'm going to have to buy another laptop and hope that the service guy is able to restore most of my data. I know this has been a disappointment, but please trust that nobody is more disappointed right now than I am. I really looked forward to unveiling the results, as they were quite interesting and different to last time in places.

I will post the results, but I want to see whether I need to take the time to compile everything again, or if by some miracle the data is recovered.

Sorry to hear about your computer problems. Thanks for letting us know what's happening.

I've got a new laptop now, and the computer guy is going to come on Wednesday and hopefully recover the lost data! If all goes well, the results should follow shortly.

I hope that Moonbeam is doing alright. I haven't seen an update for more than a week on the Artist poll results.

well, i've chatted with him a couple of days ago, if that's of any help..

OK, I've finally recompiled all of the data that I had lost. :( It took a lot of time, but the participation in this poll made it a worthy cause. It's a lot easier adding lists one by one as they come in! I ended up making a lot of mistakes as I tried to do too much at once, but I'm pretty sure it's spot on now. I'll be posting the results starting tomorrow!

Thanks for your patience, everybody!

Great to have you back, Moonbeam!
