    Calling for a bit of MAC adjudication please - does 'great' have to mean widely known? There are a few duos I consider 'great' in the deep underground stuff I listen to but want to stay in line with the group spirit :)

    How I think of it is artists YOU think are great. Can be well known or not at all, that's some of the beauty of the lists. Can make others look more into them.
