Third: Link To All The Artists We’ve Polled – With Links To Each Tread & All Track Results
I think the 6@6 is a pretty good resource for people who may wish to check out an artist they don’t know much about & get a basic idea which tracks are most preferred by the Doper community. Because of the dynamic nature of the music industry & the date the poll was run, tracks on some newer releases from artists that still recording are not included. Here are the all the past artists we’ve run polls on:

Lastly: 6@6 Posting Guidelines
1st: Have a knowledge & appreciation for the artist(s) in the poll title. 2nd: Post your 6 favorite tracks from them. Cover versions are acceptable. Offshoot, projects, directly related bands (if no poll was announced for them) and duets are all fine – but only vote for a total of 6 tracks. Segue tracks (written to be adjoined to a song from the same album) count as one song (i.e. The Abbey Road Medley & many Zappa tracks). Try to be as accurate as possible when naming your favorite tracks. Most importantly: Due to the fact the 6@6 is confined to one weekly thread, If you’re going to vote for more than one artist please make a separate post for each artist.
Without further ado…Week #55’S 6@6 Poll Artists:
Featured Poll #123: Depeche Mode
Headliner Poll #124: Everclear
Supplemental Poll #125: Dishwalla (As Requested by elfkin477)
I’ll see some of you next week (Or perhaps 2 weeks depending on how good the weather is)
