Time is up, and the results are in. Again, the top three were so close that we shall be doing all three of them (order determining on votes). The winners of yesterday are:

1) The Smiths
2) Tom Waits
3) U2

 

We shall also do the results for the voting that occurred July for artists with smaller discographies. The top three there were:

1) Fiona Apple
2) Nick Drake
3) Arcade Fire

 

This is exciting! Some of these artists I know more than others (though I’m familiar with all their names), but the ones I’m not so familiar with I hope to become acquainted and love. I should say that two runners up in the the shorter poll were Kendrick Lamar and The Velvet Underground, and I still intend to use them after these artists are done.

 

But until then, here is the dates of the albums we are doing. This runs for the next two months, so unless any major events happen we should be fine with material for a good amount of time:
