So this is just an incomplete list/2nd or 3rd draft per say. And I started it maybe a month ago when I voted in that thing, and per many factors, never got around to investing the time to be incredibly thorough.
But 89.3 starts their 893-artist Countdown tomorrow morning, and just to get a heads up, I will share this early list.
Then time permitting of course, once the countdown is over, I'll try and bump/edit this entry with their results, my reaction of course, and maybe a closer to accurate/complete list.
I count 225 below, so getting to 893 may take some work. However, these are ARTISTS I ENJOY from a decent amount to a lot. Fringe artists like say Al Green or Obscura or something, I don't feel as justified in including, but if my own personal list were to stretch out to 893, close-to, or more, to ARGUE my taste and how I can alone come up with a list that long, that is a lot more interesting if not just plain better, than I would probably include stuff that fringey, and have more CROSSOVER WITH THEIR VOTERS LIST.
That being said, I predict about 20% of my list may show up in 89.3's. The obvious classic rock names and some of the clear sort of hipster stuff that is actually something I like (good). But we'll see.
