712.0. "Belated results of '94 pop music critics poll" by HELIX::CLARK () Fri May 26 1995 17:40

Here are partial results of a '94 pop critics poll, as published in the
28-Feb issue of the Village Voice.  This year 298 critics voted.

For the full results, see the 28-Feb issue, available at some libraries
(e.g., locally, the Arlington MA public library).

Usually I post these as a reply, literally and figuratively, to the Grammies
results...     - Jay
