Subtitled: The continuing quest to solicit, record, tabulate, tally and examine the musical tastes of some of the most discerning people on the internet. Whether you’re playing along from your CD library, Computer’s Jukebox program or iPod - fire it up, replace your headphones with a thinking cap and let’s get to voting…
First: The Who’s, What’s, Where’s & Why’s of the Supplemental Poll
In an attempt to squeeze as many bands in the shortest amount of time possible, The Tuesday 6 @ 6 Polls include a Headliner & a Supplemental poll. This Willie Dixon poll, like the featured Bo Diddley thread will be closed and tallied 7 days from today, Tuesday October 19, 2004 at or about 6PM EDT. Results from all the polls will be posted a few minutes later on that same day in Week #45’s Featured Damned 6 @ 6 Poll. Why you ask? 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.

Third: This Week’s Other 2 Polls
I won’t provide countless links to this week’s other poll. You can access them one of 3 ways: (1)Click the links on my signature. (2)Find them through the Café Society page. (3)Bog down the server and do a search on the Featured Bo Diddley or the Paul Butterfield Blues Band Headliner 6@6 poll. Please Note: Each & every week, the featured poll includes the tallies from the previous week’s polls as well as a doper vote tally. The weekly headliner poll includes a list of the each artist we’ve polled and the top 6 vote-getting tracks. This supplemental poll will includes hyper-links to all the closed 6@6 polls.
Fourth: Top 6@6 Poll Posting Guidelines
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 (performed by the artist we’re polling) are acceptable, as are duets and off-shoot projects. Re: Segues - Certain tracks were written to be segued (connected to) an adjoining song from an album. They obviously count as one track. There are countless examples: Everything from the Abbey Road Medley to many Zappa tracks. Please try to be as accurate as possible when naming your favorite tracks.
Lastly: The Week #44 Supplemental Poll Artist of the Week
Without further ado…The Willie Dixon Headliner 6 @ 6 Poll.
