My post was only a joke, referring to the fact that we have Haven Factor.

Jokes aside, I'm hesitant about the idea of this as a contest (also, if it were to start in the New Year, I think it should be left open for a long time because we have at least 2 other contests lined up already for when Time Machine and Xmasvision finish). With the song-based contests, people enjoy them because they can get you appreciate an artist you haven't heard much by before, or introduce you to new songs. With the time period-based ones, it's a fun trip down memory lane. Ranking your favourite artists where you're not actually listening to the music is only really fun as a personal chart thing. Yes, there are a few artists that are more liked here than others, but we all have different tastes. I like the artists I like and while I'm always delighted if I can introduce somebody to a song I love that they like too, I'm not fussed (with the greatest of respect to you lovely people) where you would rank my favourite band in a list of 50 artists. Besides, I really do think it is Blondie.

I have so many music acts that I love, that my top 50 could look totally different depending on what I had been listening to recently.

Besides, I really do think it is Blondie. Yes but obsessively so, thus a mix of Riders On The Storm by the Doors and Rapture by Blondie entered into a 2005 song contest finished higher than my great original entry. Should have lost on principle. And Debbie Harry doing a very ordinary cover of Ghost Riders In The Sky in HalloweenVision which wasn't even scary.

I have never really rated Blondie beyond 'Heart of Glass' honestly

See, 'Heart of Glass' is the one that I've never got all of the hype for. I like it but it's probably my least favourite of their big hits.

What about vastar iner ? If he like Blondie, we already can declare them as the most loved act on Haven.

Maybe Abba as well. Not sure anyone here dislikes either.
