Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

I put the Strokes on my list? Hmn. And not Pulp? Oops.

I'm personally disappointed The Knife just barely made top 200.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Actually, upon closer inspection pretty much everyone I like in the last ten years is in the 200-101 section. Jeff Buckley, Sleater-Kinney, M.I.A., The National. Looks like only a few broke the 100 barrier.

All those didn't make it and Super Furry Animals did?

The 'idiosyncratic pop' contingent must have voted in droves. I wonder how high the Flaming Lips got.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

I think we've got quite a ways to go yet before we see how high the Flaming Lips are, no pun intended. I'm psyched Neutral Milk Hotel made it into the top 100, and unless I missed it we haven't seen Big Star yet. (Having said that, I will now go back and check.)

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Yesss!!!

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Great work thus!

Interesting to see the artists that clung on for a few weeks on survivor but aren't getting enough positive votes to be at the very top of the list.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

biggest surprise for me so far are definitely GBV... good to see them up there

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Yeah that was awesome. I didn't expect GBV to get in.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Joyeux Anniversaire, nicolas!

Great work, Moonbeam, especially those plots. Hhmm, guess I'm voter #20, right?

GBV are my #52, and since I only submitted 50, Pollard & Co. were just bubbling under ... great to see them in this list!

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Happy Belated Birthday, Nicolas! I hope it was a fantastic one!

And yes, Andre, you are voter number 20. Very perceptive!

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Many happy returns, nicolas.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

merci merci mes amis
Now let's get back to music !

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

More thoughts:

I really liked FOREVER CHANGES. The fact Love scored so well means I need to try and get my hands on more of their work I guess.

I'm more of a Paul guy than John but I'm still surprised Lennon is so low. I'd have thought he'd at least make top 40 as a solo artist.

I'm saddened that Chuck Berry is so low but considering the overall status of most 50s rockers when I've seen their name mentioned in threads (Bracketology for one) I guess I should be happy he even made it. Berry is part of the "Rock Mount Rushmore" for me.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Artists Poll- Part 1

Those graphs (Path to the top 100) looked so interesting that I decided to check if it's possible to see who is who (I love solving puzzles, sudokus etc .

So here is the list. Moonbeam am I right?
I post it here so it don't spoil fun for anybody if someone else wants solve this puzzle also.
