Top Artists Of All Time: Division 13-90''s Pop/Pop-Rock

In this week's look at the Top Artists of All Time, 32 Artists In 32 Genres can be perceived as a lot of artists with the same mediocre support or just too many to pick from. I guess it depends who you ask. It supports the theory that this genre was very...samey. At least that's the results way of showing it. Between the 8th and 17th position, there was a separation of only 6.5 points. Unfortunately for artists 9-17, they didn't make the final cut to move on to the semifinal round. Each week a panel of 20 voters vote for their favorite 6 artists. The top 8 in points move on to the finals. From our panel of 20 voters this week, 15 (75%) cast ballots for 90's Pop-Pop Rock. Out of 32 artists, 23 received at least one vote. 8 different artists received first place votes.

Counting Crows ran away with the top spot, even though it was the least amount of points for a first place artist after 13 rounds. Far behind in second was Ben Folds Five and Dave Matthews Band. From there, The Wallflowers, Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette got a good amount of points to move along as well. The difference makers at 7 & 8 were Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty who had just enough to beat out the rest of the tightest field we've had on a ballot yet in the mid section. If you're a strong Toad The Wet Sprocket supporter, you have to be chagrined that they just missed the cut by .5 points. Garbage 13 (4), Sheryl Crow 12 (4), Matthew Sweet 11 (3),  Hootie & The Blowfish 10.5 (4), Third Eye Blind 10 (4), Gin Blossoms 10 (4), Collective Soul 10 (3), Barenaked Ladies 9 (3) all were in the running for a spot in the Top 8 but they all came up short.
