Thanks to your suggestions, I made a lot of additional choices. Remember an artist is only eligible if their first release was at least 25 years ago. I'm now including artists that will be eligible for 2009 which means their first recorded release was in 1984 or before. Remember that there are different categories like performers, early influences, and sidemen. 5 = Should already be in
