This is fun, Paul. With reference to your footnote 5, if Yo La Tengo had a place in your spreadsheet, would they make the list as a peer of Neil Young? They're more than 35 years in and they're still as good as ever.
Yo La Tengo is a good idea. The spreadsheet is weird because sometimes it's easy to judge the creativity/relevance, even just with critical acclaim. But it gets a little weird when you line up Madonna and Beyonce next to The National and Yo La Tengo. Very different measurements and worlds.

I'm looking forward to the rest of your 90.
