Wow, how is it that Get Up and Dance by Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang wasn't voted on once by anyone?? That would be #1 by far for me. Was it out of the timeframe or something?
Thanks for putting this all together, everyone!
congratulations to all the listed folks, of any ranking.
That is indeed surprising, Eric; that record was very close to making my top 10, but just missed. I would guess it was very close for a lot of people.

What Bill said.
Goes for me, too.
I think our family voted Gustafer Yellowgold best record of all time. It certainly is the most-played! But we're looking forward to the next one ...
