4th: Past polls and Results:
After the ZZ Top poll, sometime this decade, the plan is to compile all the votes from the SDMB & post them in a few threads. Then I’ll burn a several volume CD set & mail ‘em out to the voters who helped keep these threads going. The scrap-heap of past polls continues to grow:
The Byrds § Buffalo Springfield § Bush § Kate Bush § Jackson Browne § James Brown § Better Than Ezra § Banarama § David Bowie Boston § Bon Jovi § Blur § Belle & Sebastian § Blue Öyster Cult § Blondie § Blink 182 § Black Sabbath § Black Crowes § Bjork § B-52's § Chuck Berry § Beastie Boys § Jeff Beck § The Band § Beach Boys § Beatles § Animals § Tori Amos § Allman Brothers § AC/DC § Abba & Aerosmith polls.

5th: Week 24 Results:
Tabulation Notes: A lot of votes this week. The accounting department at the 6@6 corporate offices were very careful to not screw up the results…like they did with the Beatles “Day in The Life / A Day in the Life”…if you find any errors please report them.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Dragon Phoenix: Did I miss a poll request of yours? That’s my guess from your “you did not include my fave” comment in the Buffalo Springfield poll.

Sorry for the misunderstanding - I was referring to the song Expecting to fly, which was not in your choice of 6.

I'd like to see an Alice Cooper supplemental, please.

[PatrickM]

Like Homebrew I can barely pick 6 favorite Buffett albums, but if forced to choose my favorite 6 Buffett songs I have to go with:

1. Cheeseburger in Paradise
2. Cowboy in the Jungle
3. Distantly in Love
4. Great Heart
5. The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
6. It's My Job.

Of his covers, I love "Brown Eyed Girl", "Uncle John's Band" and "Another Saturday Night".

[Leifsmama]

1. Fins
2. Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes
3. Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw
4. Son of a Sailor
5. Pencil Thin Moustache
6. Cheeseburger in Paradise

[Spit]

6) Pirate Looks at 40
5) Cheeseburger in Paradise
4) Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?
3) Son of a Sailor
2) Margaritaville
1) Come Monday

_{You CAN'T blow off the Cars!}

[Sunshine]

By the way, I read somewhere that Harrison Ford is the one who "plays" the whip in Desperation Samba. When Jimmy realized they needed someone to crack a whip in the song, the only person he could think of that knew how to use a whip was...Indiana Jones.

Even if it's not true, I love that story.

[Hugh Jass]

6. Margaritaville
5. Son of a Sailor
4. Pirate Looks at 40
3. Cheeseburger
2. Changes in Latitudes
1. Come Monday

[benlormat]

It's tough picking only 6 songs. In no particular order:

1 - A Pirate Looks at 40
2 - Son of a Sailor
3 - He went to Paris
4 - They don't Dance Like Carmen No More
5 - Cuban Crime of Passion
6 - Asshole Song
