So WXPN 88.5 is having their annual 885 this or that and this year it is
Greatest Artist.

Making the list so far:

234	Mary Chapin
200	Shawn Colvin
197	Nanci Griffith
120	Dar Williams

No sign of Patty Griffin yet?


Jim,

Here's some more- including Patty-

853    The Roches
850    Christine Lavin
744    Jane Siberry
743    Ellis Paul
698    Cheryl Wheeler
691    Susan Werner
650    Michelle Shocked
519    Richard Shindell
457    Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
412    Janis Ian
366    John Gorka
287    Suzanne Vega
235    Jonatha Brooke
186    Laura Nyro
163    Natalie Merchant
149    Kate Bush
148    Joan Baez
146    Joan Armatrading
101    Sarah MacLachlan   
98     Patty Griffin
93     Carole King
81     Tori Amos
80     Ani DiFranco

I think I found most of those that have been mentioned here in the recent
past- and a couple who might not have been but fit in as well IMHO.

I'm surprised that Lucy Kaplansky didn't make the list- unless my old eyes
missed it in the small type. I doubt she's in the top 70- even on WXPN.
