1983 Playboy Music Poll

This year, while The Clash introduced combat rock, others brought back swing-era jazz. Now it's up to you to decide who really had the beat--in the annual Playboy Music Poll. You'll find our suggestions listed at right; if we've missed your favorite, a write-in is fine. But, please, if you're voting for someone whose name appears on our list, help our ballot counters and use the numbers beside the name. When You've finished side one, flip the ballot over and make your choices for Hall of Fame and Best LP categories. Only official ballots count and they must be postmarked before midnight, November 1, 1982. For results, see our April 1983 issue.
