Polling is closed. Thanks again to the Dopers who responded.
First: Apologies, to:
(1) The Beatles (as pointed out by Typhoon) for mis-tabulating their results. A Day in the Life did in fact garner 8 votes instead of seven, hence, putting it in a tie for second place with Hey Jude. Note to Accounting Department: Add titles beginning with A to title list beginning with The after sorting!
(2) Chief Whom I impugned when incorrectly citing him as an Aerosmith ignoramus. Mea Cupla Chief. If you’re steamed, you can post a reference to my faux pas in Ed Zotti’s announcement “Don’t falsely attribute quotes to other SDMB members.”
Second:Results from K364’s requested Beach Boys poll from last week. Thanks K, it was appropriately timed, with results out the first official weekend of summer. They got a few more replies than I thought they would. Now history, we can now add it to the pile of
Beatles, Animals, Tori Amos, Allman Brothers, & Aerosmith polls.
Alright, enough fanfare (or for that matter Electro-Theremin music)…here are your Beach Boys Picks: Coming in first with 14 votes…Good Vibrations
Coming in a close second with 10 votes…God Only Knows
And the Bronze goes to…Sloop John B with 9 votes.

Lastly: This weeks poll. The third of the “B” bands: The Band as per Fish 42’s request. If you wish to include any Levon & The Hawks, The Canadian Squires or Robbie Robertson solo tracks, please feel free (But refrain from any Basement Tapes selections until the Dylan poll). Once again, if you feel we’ve alphabetically passed over a band or two (with the exception of The Archies) say so…if not, next week will feature (the now twice postponed) Jeff Beck.
On with the poll. Here are my 6 Beach Boys picks:
- Showdown At Big Sky (Robertson Solo)
- The Weight
- The Shape I’m In
- Rag Mama Rag
- Chest Fever, Tied for first with;
- Somewhere Down The Crazy River (Robertson Solo)
Thanking you all in advance **
