Polling is closed. Thanks again to the Dopers who responded.
First: Results from last week’s Beatles poll. The Fabs garnered alot of responses, right up there with there with Tori. Now history, we can now add it to the pile of Animals, Aerosmith, Allman Brothers, or Tori Amos polls.
I concur. It was a tough poll to answer and hope any marital rifts are as of now resolved. It’s not a very static poll, as pointed out by a number of posters who pointed out the tastes in Beatles faves change by the day/week or mood. I believe this is the 1st poll that’s even piqued the interest of a moderator.
As predicted by HoldenCaulfield, coming in first with 11 votes…Eleanor Rigby

Secondly: This weeks poll. The second of the “B” bands: The Beach Boys as per K364’s request. (Sorry ** 5 time champ**…The Atlanta Rhythm Section would be lost in oblivion in the matter of 4 hours. If you wish to include any Brian Wilson solo tracks, please feel free. Once again, if you feel we’ve alphabetically passed over a band or two, say so…if not, next week will feature (postponed) Jeff Beck.
On with the poll. Here are my 6 Beach Boys picks:
- I Get Around
- Barbara Ann
- Kokomo (Sorry purists, Junior High School engraining)
- California Dreaming (Cover Version)
- Good Vibrations
- Heroes And Villains
Thanking you all in advance
