Thanks for the tip! The end justifies the means, doesn`t it? ;-)

No Jennifer Warnes??? Gimme a break. :roll: Seems to veer away from singers of heavy-rocking acts, save Robert Plant. Ian Gillan? Rob Halford? Till Lindemann? Neil Young ? Meat Loaf? David Gilmour? How about Annie Lennox? Julie and Perla? etc., etc., etc. Very nice to see Sandy Denny on the list, though. I hope she makes the final 50, given the options available.

I'm boycotting until my request that Jim Morrison be re-instated is heard, but if Pavarotti is also not good enuff there's hope yet :)

Have just voted for Leonard and just couldn't bring myself to vote for anyone else :!: Like MaryB I tried to vote another four times - but it was not accepted - can't understand why :) Let's hope everyone votes and he wins ;-)

I've been trying for days to vote from my computer at home. It won't let me do it. How is it done? I can't even get it to cooperate long enough to figure that out!
