Rough counting...

You need 2/3rds of total votes right?

Zappa - 22 to 4 (Definite yes)
Clash - 22 to 4 (Definite yes)
Dylan - 23 to 3 (Definite yes)
Floyd - 26 to 3 (Definite yes)
Black - 9 to 8 (Need 7 more yes votes without a no)
Waits - 20 to 5 (Definite yes)
Smiths - 18 to 11 (Need 4 more yes votes to crack the 66% mark without a no)
Berry - 7 to 17 (Definite no)

I don't really know (Nor care) if they are entirely accurate, but only one and a half days left til voting ends (Based on the first post) as its been open for 9 days already.

I added The Cat's votes because he has cracked the 100 posts...
Shame more people don't listen to BB.

I'm talking about the actual sound of the song too, it sounds like a Springstein song (and IMO not a terribly good one), only with even raspier vocals.

I like Time, but other than that I just don't like his ballads, they don't go very well with his other songs at all.

I'm a huge Tom Waits fan, but I agree his ballads can be hit-or-miss. I don't mind the ballads on Rain Dogs, though I there's a couple I wouldn't miss if they were gone, but some of the ballads on, for example, Heartattack and Vine are just fucking tedious.

on that album you don't like the ballads, or in general? Because the stuff on Mule Variations was solid stuff.

Lol I was only joking but personally I do really like them I think they are massively underrated, obviously their lyrics are bollocks but the music is excellent and they are excellent musicians.
As for 'nominating' , just out of interest, how do you do it exactly?
