So here’s the winning list, chosen by my fab mad panel of experts (on me, at least; their musical expertise has been called into question). It was almost unanimous. One voice called for the list with the Kates (Nash and Bush) which was great, but I gotta say, this one was creative– from the song-per-decade to the interpretation of Truth- fun and definitely Me. Congrats, Kai!
