Polling is closed (I sound like the confused mayor of St. Louis).  
Well it’s almost Friday and the thread died out a few days ago anyway. Can’t post (as promised) Friday at 6PM because I’m gonna be at Yankee Stadium opening day & too buzzed to count, post or think clearly.

First: Week #1’s **Aerosmith** Results: (number of votes, followed by song title). [ul]  
[li] 8 Votes: Sweet Emotion [/li][li] 6 Votes: Dream On [/li][li] 4 Votes: Walk This Way[/li][li] 3 Votes: Back In the Saddle [/li][li] 3 Votes: Love In an Elevator [/li][li] 3 Votes: Mama Kin [/li][li] 2 Votes: Angel [/li][li] 2 Votes: Come Together [/li][li] 2 Votes: Dude Looks like a Lady [/li][li] 2 Votes: Janie’s Got A Gun [/li][li] 2 Votes: Kings & Queens [/li][li] 2 Votes: Last Child [/li][li] 2 Votes: Lick and a Promise [/li][li] 2 Votes: Livin’ On The Edge [/li][li] 2 Votes: Pink [/li][li] 2 Votes: S.O.S.

(Maybe it’s available on a juke-box somewhere on a 45 Rpm Medley Single)[/ul][/li]Second: Week #2’s picks. The band of the week; **The Allman Brothers Band.** The only rule is to pick your six faves, if you feel you must include solo tracks, be my guest. {_Don’t_ post **Derek & The Domino’s** , they’ll have their own thread} We will take Gov’t Mule for picks this week’s thread. I shoulda pointed out last week that solo picks were cool in case someone had a fave from "Let the Music Do the Talkin.

My Picks[ul]  
[li]6. In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed[/li][li]5. Midnight Rider[/li][li]4. Revival[/li][li]3.Southbound[/li][li]2. Statesboro Blues[/li][li]1. Whipping Post[/ul][/li]  
Post away, and thanks for your contributions

1. _Mountain Jam_
2. _Revival_
3. _Blue Sky_
4. _Statesboro Blues_
5. _Whipping Post_ (from their first studio album)

I do feel compelled to note that two of my favorite Duane Allman performances take place outside the ABB, back when he was a session player at Muscle Shoals: _Loan Me a Dime_ by Boz Skaggs and _Hey Jude_ by Wilson Pickett.

The best live album ever made was _Live at Fillmore East_. In March, 1971 (Hendrix had already died) Duane Allman was the best electric guitar player on the planet!
