If you want see which ten artists from each decade so far (they haven't
done the 50s yet) made the short list, look here:

Someone mentioned earlier that it was nonsense restricting lists "Top Tens"
but I tend to disagree - the tighter the list, the more opportunity for
debate as to who was left out and why.  Unless you're talking about a
ranked list like the Audities year-end poll, in which the opportunity to
debate over why Cotton Mather only made no. 47, whereas Myracle Brah made
no. 34 is almost limitless:-)
