Re: 2nd Annual Joe Bonamassa Tournament of Champions

I'm sure it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things or in selecting the winner, but while I can see CSN & CSN & Y being lumped together, I do think Neil Young is more than deserving of his own category. I actually had them both on my list.

That is actually what I have done. Neil Young has 3 votes by himself. CSN/CSNY has 3 votes altogether.
