Polling is closed. Thanks to the dirty dozen who responded.
First: Results from last weeks Allman Brothers Band poll. There are some really great choices. With both this weeks and last weeks Aerosmith results, I’ve come to the conclusion that had AOR programmers polled Dopers for album cut selections, perhaps the format wouldn’t have become such a canned, tragic, predictable joke:

Secondly: Band selections. I figure after two more “A” Band polls, I’d move on to the B’s (I’d like to have my CD-R doper research wrapped up by the end of the millennium). The Plan (in keeping with the alphabetical sequence) is to begin the B’s on 4/26/02, but nothings carved in stone here {in fact it’s actually just etched on a rewriteable server drive somewhere}.
I realize I’ll be skipping past ABC, Abba, AC/DC, Bryan Adams, Adam Ant, Mike Agranoff, A-Ha, The Alarm, Alice In Chains, Alive and Kicking, The Amboy Dukes, America, Eric Anderson, Anthrax, Aphrodite’s Child, Tasmin Archer, Argent, Asia, The Association, The Avant Gardeners & The AWB…just to name a few. I’m not being biased, just attempting to run polls that will get more than 12 responses.
That being said, in an attempt to be as polite, democratic and fair-minded (as is possible for a native NY’er to be) I’ll open the floor to any suggestions; if 2 or more posters have a band they’d like to see featured in the 6 @ 6, I’ll post it accordingly.
Finally: Speaking of polls, here this weeks…featuring Tori Amos. Here are my picks.
[ul][li]6. Blood Roses[/li][li]5. Cornflake Girl[/li][li]4. Crucify[/li][li]3. God[/li][li]2. Strange Little Girl[/li][li]1. Caught A Lite Sneeze[/ul][/li]
Stay tuned next week for the Animals, followed (tentatively) by Bad Co. …Same Doper Time…Same Doper Channel, I mean forum.
