[BozoTyrannus]

After two weeks, we've already got a substantial number of ballots and a pretty solid list (with about 200+ artists who qualify for inclusion, i.e. received multiple votes)

I'm thinking we let this go four more weeks and wrap it all up August 4th.

Edited my list a smidge.

[BozoTyrannus]

So far we've received nominations for 712 individual artists, with 191 of those getting mentioned on multiple lists. Presently the #100 ranked artist has 132 points and the #1 has a staggering 621 points.

However, as of today we're only at the midpoint of this survey. Polls close August 4th, and the list could transform a staggering amount in that time. Feel free to keep sending in lists, as each successive list has dramatically changed the overall makeup (for instance, there's only 14 points between the #1 and #2 artist, and I'm willing to bet neither is who you'd immediately assume)
