skybluesky Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Laura Nyro makes her presence felt in this list too, since she wrote Eli’s Coming! That's 3 PTT's in a row with Laura Nyro, and she didn't get into the HOF this year. Doesn't the selection committee know we know what's best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I definitely intend to vote in Joe's PTT, but quite alot is unfamiliar to me and I haven't had time to listen yet. Should have some time on Friday morning, all being well. But please let me know (by PM if necessary) if a deadline is approaching. (I don't know how long you allow for each PTT).

I close it out and start counting votes at 10P.M. New York time (1 in the morning here.) Which should give you all day and evening Friday in the UK, B-F.

It gave the chair dancing an extra dimension I had not anticipated. Fantastic list, Unc. You know it was extremely difficult for me to whittle it down when Young MC didn't make the cut.
