Arcade Fire should win this for Wake Up.

Kicking myself for not noticing “Home” on the list when I voted. Just goes to show everyone’s voice is important , one vote can change the world.

Trampled By Turtles is an outlier on this list - an acoustic/bluegrass-y jam band that is "big" in its world, but its world is not the same world as the other 49 artists here. (maybe there are a couple other worlds represented, but you know what I mean.)
given that, i would say that Trampled By Turtles' presence on this list is largely driven by the fact that they're from Minnesota ... home of The Current.

Yeah, Trampled by Turtles got my vote. I wish Minnesotans could hear some of their music the way the rest of the world hears it

which is funny because normally minnesotans are super obsessed with what the rest of the world thinks of them

I can't believe I missed a thread where we were bagging on the Current!
Anyway, i'm not sure whether The Current deserves all this snarkiness...
I would argue they do and the reason isn't exactly their playlist, which is terrible, but unlike the other light-FM adult pop station in town Cities 97 which is easily ignored, is that the Current plays what they play but they act like they are WFMU. That sometimes around 6 PM they play a 20 yr old Guided By Voices song and they act like OMG FUCK THE MAN THE COPS WANT TO SHUT DOWN OUR EDGY STATION!!

I don't have any real beef with AAA radio except when public or community broadcasters adopt the format because what's the point. CBC Radio 2's general non-classical programming seems to have m/l gone that way a lot of the time and just why. Someone has to think of the children.
