Top 6@6 Poll Week #38: Post Your 6 Fave Creed Tracks (With All Of Week #37's Results)

Subtitled: Hold me now, I have six faves to pick & I’m thinking that maybe six tracks ain’t too many. Or for those of you that hate them, six is far too many.

A simple request before you scroll down: STOP! If you’re here to bash the repetitive, unoriginal sound of Creed (which I’ll concede is not without merit) – Or you feel like you must make a general comment on how fundie music is a bane on society, please do it in Snenc’s thread entitled:
Creed is breaking up! Praise Jesus!.
1st: Last Week (#37’s) Poll Quick Tallies
Previous Week’s Turnout: Light – As we assumed.
[ul][li]Cracker Featured Poll: 8 Voters / 47 Selections, []Camper Van Beethoven Headliner Poll: 5 Voters / 29 Selections & []Alex Chilton/Big Star/Box Tops Supplemental Poll: 6 Voters / 36 Selections []Voted in all 3 polls: 1 Doper: Tit Whistle[]Voted in 2 outta 3 polls (Which ain’t bad): 1 Doper: NoPretentiousCodename[/ul][/li]2nd: The Mailbag
Questions, Answers, Issues, Requests & Honorable Mentionsa) Your Comments & Queries:
(No questions were asked in Week #37). I just wanna thank ArchiveGuy & elfkin477 for the kind words. Something I never realized until Tit Whistle ‘delurked’ this week: With a post count of 48 and 18 separate votes in the top 6@6, I have to assume you’re strictly a tits and café society type guy.

b) Future Poll Requests:
(None were made in any of the Week #37 polls)
I’m gonna go back & mix in a few ‘A, B & C’ artists that were passed by (like Louie Armstrong, The Buzzcocks, The Butthole Surfers, Dave Brubek & John Coltrane) when we get to the ‘D’ artists.

c) This Week #38’s Poll Requests:
(If it wasn’t for the following dopers, the polls listed below would not have been run. Whether you consider that a good or bad thing is totally a matter of opinion)
** Treviathan**: Who requested The Counting Crows in this week’s Headliner poll.

d) A Few Asides:
This is the 2nd week with the coding facelift. If you have any suggestions on making any of the 6@6 threads more readable, please let me know. I discovered a long time ago the posters to these threads have better musical taste than any FM or satellite radio Program Director on this planet. Hopefully, after the ZZ Top poll, sometime next decade, I plan to compile all the votes from the SDMB & post them on the web and in a thread. Then I’ll burn a several volume CD set & send ‘em out to the top voters who helped keep these threads going.

e) Invitations:
If Justin_Bailey or Kings_Gambit1 are still posters on the boards and wanna vote here, please do. I noticed you two were the only posters who didn’t jump on the “Creed is nothing but glurge & garbage” chorus in the above mentioned Creed is breaking up! Praise Jesus! thread. On a personal note, though I’m not a big Creed fan – I concur with K_G1’s comment, “I’m not a huge Creed fan by any stretch, but I respect them a lot. They have written some very good, well-crafted songs full of unforgettable hooks, soaring power chords, and good lyrics…They have a charismatic lead singer…good lead guitarist and an underrated drummer…Pretentious, preachy, irritating…Yes. Worst band in the last 10 years? Not even close!”

8th: This Week #38’s Headliner Poll
I can’t provide a link to it because the featured poll and results get posted first. Access it one of 3 ways: (1)Click the link on my signature. (2)Access it through the Café Society page. (3)Bog down the server and do a search on: The 6@6 Headliner Poll… Counting Crows. The Headliner Poll also includes links to all the past polls.

9th: Week #38’s Supplemental Poll
Find it the same way you find the Headliner Poll. The 6@6 Supplemental 6@6 Poll… Crowded House. As a regular feature, The Supplemental Poll also includes The “Straight Dope Message (Bill)Board" Top Vote Getters List (So Far). Check it out and see if “Watching the Detectives” will be knocked out of the coveted top position. (I have a feeling it’ll take a while. It will either be Dylan, Van Morrison or Steely Dan if I had to guess)

**Lastly: Week #38’s Featured Artist Poll **
All you have to do is list your six favorite tracks from this week’s featured artist. If you’d like to add your own liner notes or opinions, please go right ahead – I, for one, love reading them. If you specify a live version, it will be noted, but tallied with the studio version. Cover versions are acceptable, as are duets and off-shoot projects. Please try to be as accurate as possible when naming your favorite tracks.
Without further ado…One of the most despised (now defunct) bands out there: Creed.

Here are my 6 CREED selections:
6. My Own Prison
5. Higher
4. Torn
3. What If
2. Are You Ready

  1. One
    (No wise cracks - at least I steered clear of Arms Wide Open & One Last Breath)

Thanking you all in advance. Hope to see some of you over at the Counting Crows & (maybe even some of you) Crowded House polls. Have a great week!
