Subtitled: \*Post Date: August (And Everything After) 31st , 2004. \* **First: The Who’s, What’s, Where’s & Why’s of the Headliner Poll** As per Treviathan’s request & in an attempt to squeeze as many bands in the shortest amount of time possible, The Tuesday 6 @ 6 Polls include a Headliner poll. This **Counting Crows** poll, like the featured [**Creed** thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=273989) will be closed and tallied 7 days from today, Tuesday September 7, 2004 at or about 6PM EDT. Results from all polls will be posted a few minutes later on that same day in _Week #39_’s featured _Creedence Clearwater Revival 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. **Second: Links to the 65 artists we’ve already closed polling on** They’re all closed and tallied, so don’t piss anyone off & post to them. If you like to read any of them, here you go…The pile just keeps on growing: [Cracker](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=272858) [§ Camper Van

Contemplating what your 6 favorite Counting Crows tracks may take a while, _but_ it only takes a minute to post your selections here. Compare your favorite tracks with other dopers who voted and see all the tracks and how many votes each song got next week after this poll closes. **Third: The Poll & How it Works** It’s simple enough, post your **6** favorite songs by the artist. Personal observations, opinions, liner notes, comments and the like are always welcome but are in no means required. You **May** include Cover Versions and of course, duets or other offshoot projects. If you specify a Live version, it will be noted, but tallied together with the studio version of the same title. My only request of you is to please _try_ to be as accurate as possible when naming your favorite tracks. **Lastly: The Headliner Poll Artist of the Week** As I’m quite certain you can see, I’ve blabbered on for far too long already. So, without further ado, for **Treviathan** … **Counting Crows**. Here are my _6_ **COUNTING CROWS** Selections: 6. Rain King 5. A Long December 4. Angels Of The Silences 3. Einstein On The Beach 2. Rain King 1. Mr. Jones So, do you have 6 faves? Will Treviathan remember they even asked for this poll almost 2 years ago? Is it even remotely possible Counting Crows are popular enough to knock Elvis Costello’s “Watching the Detectives” off the top vote getter position. There’s always that chance – though I’ll concede it’s somewhere between hair thin and none. Those answers and much more next week, same Eastern Standard Time, same web address. **Thanking you all in advance** I hope to see you at the **Creed** and **Crowded House** polls. **Have a great week!** ---

Wow, thanks, **JohnBckWLD** (Just how is that supposed to be pronounced, anyways? I always hear “John Buckwild” in my head when I type it.) for the poll. I don’t think I’ve listened to CC in the two years since I’ve requested it, but I’ll give it my best shot nonetheless… 1. Mr. Jones 2. Time and Time Again 3. Hard Candy 4. Another Horsedreamer’s Blues 5. Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby 6. Anna Begins
