Subtitled: *No, not the MC5, the DC5, as in Dave Clark. But Fuck Hudson’s Anyway *
Another Tuesday, due to my putting pleasure over tabulating, Another Closed Poll.
Last Week’s Beck Poll Tally: 17 Voters / 95 Selections, which, garnered less feedback than Week 26’s Cake Supplemental Poll with: 19 Voters / 113 Selections…who woulda thunk it?
Factoid of the Week: 7 voters crossed poll lines last week and voted in both polls. There’ll probably be a lot less (if any) this week. On To Business:

4th: Past polls and Results:
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. The scrap-heap of past polls continues to grow:
Cake § Beck (Hanson) § Jimmy Buffett § Jeff Buckley § The Byrds § Buffalo Springfield § Bush § Kate Bush § Jackson Browne § James Brown § Better Than Ezra § Banarama § David Bowie Boston § Bon Jovi § Blur § Belle & Sebastian§ Blue Öyster Cult § Blondie§ Blink 182§ Black Sabbath§ Black Crowes§ Bjork§ B-52’s§ Chuck Berry§ Beastie Boys§ Jeff Beck§ The Band§ Beach Boys§ Beatles§ Animals§ Tori Amos§ Allman Brothers§ AC/DC § Abba& Aerosmith polls.
5th: Week 26 Results:
Tabulation Notes: Average amount of compilation & tabulation this week. The accounting department at the 6@6 corporate offices were very careful to not screw up the results…like they did with the Beatles “Day in The Life / A Day in the Life”…if you find any errors please report them. Side note: the posthumous has been removed from the supplemental template.
