Matt, I have your Top 7 -- I got that a few days ago.   However, Will, I 
don't see yours in my mailbox, so please send it again -- I would recommend 
to everyone who wants to post their Top 20 to the list to CC: me.  Sometimes 
a list that gets caught in Audities limbo makes it to me - and then I can 
forward it to the list if you still have problems publishing it.

I know the flood of 'ballots' will come after Xmas - I just want to give a 
shout out to the lurkers -- if you want to stay lurky (?) just send your 
entry to me.  This poll is for everyone and to see what type of consensus we 
come to.

Finally -- Rosanne Cash, Lindsey Buckingham, Alejandro Escovedo, Def Leppard 
(and I never thought they'd be a candidate) are all terrific records that 
didn't make my Top 20.  I've really enjoyed 2006.
