Folks,

It's that time of year again! As you may remember, last year's WUMB countdown had us on the edge of our seats.....and Mr. Paul came in #2 for the year - just behind that Dylan guy. ;-)

Use the ballot linked below to vote for up to 10 of your favorite performers and/or groups no later than Tuesday, November 9, 2010. During the week of November 15-19, WUMB will count down the WUMB Listener Top 100 performers starting with performer #100 at 7am Monday morning and ending with #1 at 6pm Friday.

Will Mr. Paul de-throne that Dylan guy?? Time will tell! (Was there ever a Bob Dylan Day in the City of Boston?) ;-)

Click here to vote by Nov. 9, 2010!

Vote now! :-)

Bonnie,

I think this is Adam's first sppearance on the Top 100, so being #101 isn't too shabby! :)

I haven't been listening Karen but something tells me Ellis Paul will be up there in the Top 10 so hopefully I will remeber to tune in in time for the prestigious honor of Numero Uno Baby!!! 8)


There's a very old expression it's called talking to the wall and it means you get no answers just .....oh i forget the last word. It's a line from an old Joan Armatrading song that I wanted to drop in here to say I know what you mean, or as Lyle Lovett put it: I Know What You Really Mean

Thanks, Paddy! :-)

Decided - kinda last minute - to do a road trip tomorrow to the show in Bethlehem, PA and will be on the road for the last of the countdown! Can you call me to let me know how it turns out? I'll be dying of curiosity! :-) I'll PM you my cell number.

I can do that sure as you're born to be the one that took Ellis Paul's message to "Spread the Word" to heart. Can anyone give me an idea the times tomorrow WUMB will be airing the top ten ~ thanks

#1 will be announced at 6pm tomorrow. They announce one name every 30 minutes so that means it should go something like this:

#2 5:30
#3 5pm
#4 4:30
#5 4pm
#6 3:30
#7 3pm
#8 2:30
#9 2pm
#10 1:30

I will be sweating out the Ellis Paul countdown! Not sure I'll be near a computer at 6:00, but I'll be listening.

That Bob Dylan guy is so overrated! :lol:

The countdown ended yesterday with Patty Griffin at #11 which means the final 10 will be today. In comparing who has already been announced with last year's list, I'm pretty sure that today's group will include EP, Dylan, Richard Shindell, Joni Mitchell, John Prine, EmmyLou Harris, Joan Baez....not sure who else.

I think John Prine was in yesterday's group. Thought I heard Baez already too, but I could be wrong there!

You're probably right! I'm not sure who I've heard or not heard! :)

Just announced #10 - Chris Smither.

I know I heard John Prine yesterday. I haven't been as tuned in this year as in previous years, but I knew Ellis wouldn't be coming in until today anyway, cos' us EP Fans know the real deal when we see it! :D

On the WUMB website - lower left - they are asking listeners to vote today on an answer to this question:

Bob Dylan has been #1 in our Top 100 Countdown for the past five years. Do you think he'll end up in the #1 position again this year?

Answers are either:

1. Yes, of course! (151 votes so far)

2. No, he'll be de-throned this year (100 votes so far)

#9 - Neil Young!

I think Dylan will be de-throned this year! (Why else would they ask the question?????) :-)

I would think it would be a big name if someone outdid him, but I'm highly doubting he's not coming in at #1.

Yes.....asking us if we think Dylan will be de-throned was probably just a diversion to peak some interest in what will be another routine outcome! :-)

Eight is Enough Congratulation Ellis Paul

I'm recalling an old EP story about flying with Neil Young as a seat mate and letting Neil listen to a cassette of one of Ellis' releases. Neil deboarded at flight's end and to Ellis' regret he didn't tell Neil to keep it.

Comes a Time Ellis Paul comes out ahead of Neil Young and that time is now. Just goes to show you have to be careful what you cover.


Neil Young covers Whip Your Hair on Jimmy Fallon

As for Ellis Paul ~ Don't Stop Believin

if it's any consolation, according to 2 sources who were at tonight's concert, mr zimmerman has lost his voice.

(personally i'm not sure he ever had one. i've said it before and i will say it again. dylan is one of the greatest songwriters ever, he is not a singer. :? )
