As for Craiger not having a clue about his #1 Cheap Trick pick (Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace) not being mentioned by anyone else: get used to it…it happens a lot. The accounting department at the 6@6 corporate offices tries to be as accurate as possible & not screw up the results (like they did with the Beatles “A Day in the Life”, Nick Cave’s “The Ship Song” & Sabbath’s “NIB”). If you find any errors please report them. Here are your **Alice Cooper** Selections:  1ST PLACE  **No More Mr. Nice Guy ¤ School’s Out** : Tied With _12_ Votes  2ND PLACE  **Elected** : With _9_ Votes  3RD PLACE  **I’m Eighteen** : With _8_ Votes  4TH PLACE  \*\* Only Women Bleed ¤ Welcome to My Nightmare\*\*: Tied With _5_ Votes  5TH PLACE  **Billion Dollar Babies ¤ Halo of Flies ¤ Poison ¤ You and Me** : Tied With _3_ Votes  6TH PLACE  **Be My Lover ¤ Generation Landslide ¤ How You Gonna See Me Now ¤ Unfinished Sweet** : Tied With _2_ Votes  RUNNERS UP  **Ballad of Dwight Frye ¤ Desparado ¤ Devil’s Food ¤ Guttercat vs. the Jets ¤ Hello Hooray ¤ Hey Stoopid ¤ King Herod’s Song ¤ Lost In America ¤ Muscle of Love ¤ My Stars ¤ Refrigerator Heaven ¤ Sex, Death and Money ¤ Sick Things ¤ The Barney Song _(From “Something Wilder”)_ ¤ Under My Wheels ¤ You Drive Me Nervous**: All With _1_ Vote Each.

Access it one of 3 ways: [ol][li]Click the link on my signature.[_]Access it through the Café Society page.[_]Bog down the server and do a search on: The _Week #33_’s Headliner 6@6 Poll… **Elvis Costello** [/ol][/li] **9th: Week #33’s Supplemental Poll** (Same story as the Headliner Poll) The _Week #33_’s Supplemental 6@6 Poll… **Collective Soul** **10th: Week #33’s Featured Poll Artist’s Discography** If your memory of the featured artist isn’t exactly up to speed, here’s a link to their truncated discography (usually) with 30 second previews of some of the tracks when you drill down through the albums: [Cut The Crap  Combat Rock  Sandinista!  London Calling  Clash  Give 'em Enough Rope](http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1156601635/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/discography.html/ArtistID=CLASH). To make narrowing it down to just 6 selections that much _more of a harrowing experience_, not only do you have the whole Clash discography to choose from, but you also have: **B.A.D** (Big Audio {Dynamite} \): [Globe  No. 10 Upping Street  This Is Big Audio Dynamite](http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1156601635/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/popsearch.html/clickID=tn_srch_txt) And, for the die-hards… **Joe Strummer** (& The Mescaleros): [Global A Go-Go  Rock Art & The X-Ray Style](http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1156601635/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/discography.html/ArtistID=STRUMMER*JOE+&+MESCALEROS) To contend with _Discographies are provided by CD Now. If Martin C. Strong ever gets into web publishing, we’ll switch to his site as a source. The links are provided to refresh your Clash “101” knowledge & jar loose any forgotten titles. (Please refrain from voting based on .wav previews). You **May** include Cover Versions. If you specify Live version, it will be noted, but tallied together with the studio version of the same title._ **Lastly: Week #32’s Featured Poll Artist** Without further ado:\*\* The Clash\*\*. Here are my _6_ **CLASH / B.A.D** selections: 1. Rush (By B A D II) In hindsight, someone shoulda requested a BAD poll 2. White Riot From their punk roots 3. Train In Vain I think the single was subtitled Stand By Me 4. London Calling My apologies to London’s Burning…not enough room 5. The Magnificent Seven From Sandinista! Signifies the change in style, the change in decade & the beginning of the end 6. Brand New Cadillac Let’s see if this brilliant cover version goes, once again, unmentioned Now that was rough. Left so many on the cutting room floor here I’m wading knee deep in track titles. To make it that much more excruciating, Now I gotta go tear my hair out over in the Elvis Costello poll. **Thanking you all in advance**. I hope to see some of you at the Elvis Costello and Collective Soul polls. **Have a great week!** ---

Yayyyy! The Clash! Yay! Yay! Oh God. . . 6 songs. . . the pain. . . Rudy can’t Fail Police and Thieves I’m not down Bank Robber Hateful Tommy Gun While I like Combat Rock, I just can’t rank any of those up there. Same goes for Cut the Crap. If I could I’d just vote for most of London Calling, The Clash (eponymous) and Black Market, and list the exceptions which don’t rule. Alas. This poll hurt. ---

Another really hard poll. _Train In Vain I Fought the Law Rudie can’t Fail Rock the Casbah Hateful Brand New Cadillac_ Two covers, I know. But _I Fought the Law_ is _such_ a masterly arrangement and _Brand New Cadillac_ for me was the song that made it clear that punk was _reclaiming_ rock and roll not supplanting it. ---

This one is _really_ tough, especially since I like Sandinista! My Six, in alphabetical order: **The Card Cheat** – that piano intro, though not terribly “Clash”-like, sends shivers down my spine **I Fought the Law** – one of the greatest covers of all time **Know Your Rights** – all three of them! excellent rabble-rousing, which is what the Clash did better than anyone **Lost in the Supermarket** – a sentimental favorite **Something About England** – seventy years of English history in four minutes **Somebody Got Murdered** – the Clash were always righteous, and never more than here Honorable Mention: **English Civil War** **London Calling** **London’s Burning** **Straight to Hell** **What’s My Name** **White Riot** and, from B.A.D.: **E=MC2** ---

Arrrggh! Six, only six. Not fourteen, or even twelve. Just six… okay, here goes in no particular order **Spanish Bombs** **White Riot** **I Fought the Law** **Rudie Can’t Fail** **London Calling** and **Medicine Show** from the brilliant first BAD album. ---

In no particular order… Rudy Can’t Fail Hateful White Man in Hammersmith Palais Janie Jones Clampdown Pressure Drop I haven’t seen Pressure Drop mentioned, but it’s a great song, a great cover, and a great example of the Clash crossing genres, which I think they did better than just about anyone. ---
