HOA: 2004 eligibles list

Scream is still on top. No way to sugarcoat it: not much happening this year in the top 100, as much of your highly-acclaimed music in 2003 comes from acts already in the Hall (Radiohead, OutKast, the White Stripes, Blur).



You should check out the 2003 results on the results thread if you haven't done so yet.

Post your ballots on the 2004 voting thread.
