First: The Who’s, What’s, Where’s & Why’s of the Headliner Poll
In an attempt to squeeze as many bands in the shortest amount of time possible, The Monday 6 @ 6 Polls include a Headliner poll. This Cowboy Junkies poll, like the featured Concrete Blond thread will be closed and tallied 7 days from today, Monday December 23, 2002 at or about 6PM EDT, if I’m not out Christmas Shopping. Results from all polls will be posted a few minutes later on that same day in Week #36’s featured Sheryl Crow 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: 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. If you specify Live version, it will be noted, but tallied together with the studio version of the same title.
Fourth: This Weeks Headliner Poll Artist’s Discography
Here’s a reader digest list with sound clips & lyrics to Concrete Blond’s discography:
Whites off Earth Now!! The Trinity Session The Caution Horses Black-Eyed Man Pale Sun, Crescent Moon Lay It Down Miles from Our Home Waltz Across America Latent Open
For more info, Go to AMG’s website and type in the artist’s name on the search box.
The All Music Guide service is meant to refresh your “101 knowledge” of the artist. Please refrain from voting for tracks based solely on the 15 second sound clip. If you have the time, perhaps you’d like to add your 2 cents to their Music Expert Check…
