Subtitled: Don’t take voice lessons. Do it your way. You’re a song stylist. Always do it your way.
Another Monday, Another Closed Poll.
Last Week’s Dave Clark 5 Poll Tally: A mere 4 Voters / 24 Selections, which, garnered more feedback than Week 27’s Bonzo Dog Band Supplemental Poll with: 1 Voters / 6 Selections…Even RealityChuck missed his requested poll.
Factoid of the Week: 1 voter crossed poll lines last week and voted in both polls.

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: Dave Clark Five § Bonzo Dog Band§ 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: What a breeze. Compilation went by in the blink of an eye. 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.

1ST PLACE
Bits And Pieces ¤ Glad All Over: With 4 Votes

This link is provided by CD Now. Feel free to post any duets or corroborations, but avoid posting tribute songs performed by other artists.
10th & Lastly: Week #24’s Featured Poll Artist
Without further ado, the Man In Black…Johnny Cash.
Here are my 6 JOHNNY CASH selections:
- Personal Jesus It’s just a rip hearing him cover Depeche Mode
- I Walk The Line With The Tennessee Two, 1956
- Ring Of Fire
- A Boy Named Sue Only cuz I still remember all the words
- The Devil Comes Back To Georgia With Mark O’Connor & Charlie Daniels
- San Quentin Talk about playing to your audience…Love that B+W photo of him giving a lensman the finger while performing one of his prison shows
Damn, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be, I had to cut out a lot of great stuff to truncate it to 6.
Thanking you all in advance. Hope to see some of you over at the Cab Calloway Supplemental poll Have a great week!
