Perhaps one of the following artists will find their place in the next five:

Queen
Simon & Garfunkel
Brian Eno
Elvis Costello
The Kinks
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Bob Marley
The Pixies

2. Bad Company - Bad Co. is preferred over The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me

5970. Tom Jones - Delilah (NR - 11.1) is preferred over 5905. The Velvet Underground - Who Loves the Sun? (NR) 5977. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (3547) is preferred over 5944.

So... Coldplay and Bee Gees are top 70 then? This is getting intense... Coldplay was rated at 173 in the last poll (down from 77 in the 2010 poll) and the Bee Gees were rated at 180. Coldplay could bounce back as I have observed that there is a yo-yo up and down movement over three polls for some a...

I doubt that many of the following will be on the top 500 poll list at all this year: As mentioned by Bruno - The Drifters (AM rank of 214 / 114 in the 2013 poll) and Fats Domino (250/102), Jerry Lee Lewis (199/191) Howlin' Wolf (237/153) Sinead O'Connor (288/259) Tricky (290/248) Bee Gees (304/180)...

Not having looked at the top 300 yet, it will be interesting to see if any of the following make the top 300 this year: James Taylor (my 16/429 in the 2004 poll) - in 2003 Merlo rating was 36 - looks challenging but possible Donald Fagen (17/734) - no other voters in 2003 - very unlikely Chick Corea...

Let's see if Brad still places Pavement as his top artist of all-time. Hi Henry - I feel you've been away for awhile and if that's the case it's great to have you back...

Actually, you are now mixing up Nick Cave and Nick Drake it seems... Nick Drake isn't on my list at all. He could have been though. He is one of the artists I regret not putting on my list, but I'm among those crazy people for whom 100 artists is too tight. My list was much larger than 100 artists ...

[ Nope, because as I said Public Enemy is only my #26 :P I think you inverted what I said ;) The corrected read could put you in the top 2 or 3 of the forum's Nick Cave fans. Perhaps this will be the year when I grow more fond of Nick Cave. I can see that happening more than a new affection for Pub...

[ My least favorite in the last poll's top 100 will likely be in this year's top 200. But, will any of them drop below 100?
