Top 50+ rockpop artists

Thanks to Jan Slattery for sending the results of a reader poll in stylish Americana/Dadrock monthly Paste last July to find its readers’ favourite 50+ rockpop artists.

Paste readers’ top 5 were:

1. Dylan 23%
2. Tom Waits 15%
3= Neil Young/Bruce Springsteen 13%
5. Elvis Costello 9%

I get the art of four of them, but I’ve never understood the attraction of Tom Waits. This poll suggests I try harder.

Music For Grown-Ups’ own recent survey results: coming soon.
