Polling is closed. **Scats** (oops, that was rotten; I meant hats) off to the Dopers who responded. Honorable mention goes to Jonathan Chance who was, indeed, heard (and who’s choices were the most obscure…in fact, it’s time for me to go give a _re-listen_ to several songs I either forgot about or never heard before). As to gex gex’s query from last Saturday: PD’s are an acronym for Program Directors. IMHO, they are the scourge of the radio waves…polluting them with what they and their telemarketing pollsters think is “popular”. **First:** Results from [**The Chuck Berry** poll from week #10.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120533) Moderate turnout; nothing shocking. Even though he’s considered the granddaddy they were fairly predictable results. Most of his _children_ were too busy out there playin’ his licks to list their faves, so let’s move along. Now that’s it’s history, we can add it to the pile of[ul] [li][**The Beastie Boys**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=119243),[/li][li][**Jeff Beck**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118062),[/li][li][**The Band**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116976),[/li][li][**Beach Boys**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=115792), [/li][li][**Beatles**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114515),[_][**Animals**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110522),[_][**Tori Amos**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109202),[_][**Allman Brothers** ,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=107748)and[_][**Aerosmith**.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106595) polls[/ul]All right, here are your **Beastie Picks** Picks:[ul][/li][li]_First Place_: **Memphis Tennessee** : With _6_ votes. [/li][li]_2nd Place_: **Johnny B.

As promised, the seventh “B”: **The B-52’s**. (As alluded to last week, turnout will more than likely be substantial; right up there with The Beatles and Tori Amos. I’ll go so far as to say the only proceeding polls that will garner higher post counts will be Van Morrison, Rolling Stones & Steely Dan). If you feel I’ve passed alphabetically passed over a band say so…if not, next week will feature **The Black Crowes** (followed by my favorite band: Black Sabbath). Weekly disclaimer: I’m not at all biased toward today’s contemporary artists, it’s just in most cases their smaller sized discography’s would make selecting 6 favorite tracks a rather difficult or daunting task. Hence: The B-52’s as opposed to Berlin, Ben Folds or Belly On with the poll. Here are my **6** B-52’s picks: 1. Channel Z (Sorry Die-hards; it’s the only thing I like from Cosmic Thing that deserves a spot) 2. Private Idaho 3. Rock Lobster 4. Party Out Of Bounds 5. Planet Claire 6. Strobe Light (No negatives comments please…I love this song) **Thanking you all in advance** ---

Thank you for doing this. It was fun. I would point out that “Carol” and “Oh Carol” in the Chuck Berry poll were intended to be the same song, IMHO. The title on my 45 rpm record is “Carol”, but the lyrics are sung “Oh Carol”. So who knows? It’s neither “School Days” nor “School Daze” but “School Day” (singular). Chuck’s going on tour later this summer, at age 76, so maybe one of us can ask him about “Carol”. And now to the B-52’s. If I’ve ever heard one of their songs, I’m not aware of it, so I’ll wait until another Old Guy comes up here. 😉 ---

Hate to post without voting, but i only know two songs ☹ but what about **bjork**? i don’t know what sort of turnout you’d get, so it’s your call, but considering she’s done five solo albums, a soundtrack and many releases with he previous group **the sugarcubes** , she certainly has the material to select six top tracks from. Then again, i don’t want a bjork poll where i’m the only one who votes, so, as i said, your call. ---

Since the voting doesn’t seem to be weighted (am I wrong, or does a 6th place vote count as much as a 1st place vote?), in no particular order: Give me back my man Quiche Lorraine Planet Claire Private Idaho Rock Lobster Party out of Bounds Also, although it didn’t make my list, you are correct about Channel Z being the only worthwhile song on Cosmic Thing. ---

I’d vote in a Bjork poll, but I think Sugarcubes should definitely be included. ---
