RN, I have four ballots (haven't done mine yet). Originally I was going to close on Wednesday or Thursday, but I'll keep this going through the weekend if y'all need the time.

I'll keep it open through at least Monday, so I'd encourage everyone interested to make it a ZZ Top Weekend!
10 ballots so far, 11 if you count my own impending one.

Still sitting at 11 Ballots. Seeing as I'm dealing with both TS Nicholas and (depending on how that turns out) some work stuff later this week, POLLS WILL BE OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY (Or Next Monday)!

Gotta say that the more I listen, the more impressed I am by the production on their 70s work (tres hombres and side 2 of fandango in particular). So clear and punchy! My ears are very nonprofessional but I can't believe how good those records sound.

Trying out Mescalero for the first time, and am reminded of the now-forgotten controversy surrounding its release: RCA, seriously regretting the $$$ they threw at the band in the early '90s for one Platinum LP (out of three shots), rejected the album, and strongly suggested they follow Santana's example & bring in a bunch of young stars for duets/new songs. Obviously this didn't happen, temporarily sparing us the Kid Rock and Nickleback collabs.

I started and scrapped a ballot several times, feeling like I’m such a newcomer to Top fandom, but I just sent my entry.

point of information: are we counting "waiting for the bus" and "jesus just left chicago" as separate tracks?

it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to “sleeping bag” and I’ve been dying for like 36 hours trying to connect the dots on where he copped the chorus part……it’s “back in black” innit?

POLLS ARE CLOSED
I need to arrange the tracks in order, but we will be having a "Top 40" tracks rollout.
I'll be sending belated confirmations out as I handle the side polls later this evening or tomorrow.
Thanks For Taking Part!

ladies & gents, the poll officially has legs…
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 28 September 2021 01:47 (two years ago) link
Before this thing takes off running (legs, see what I did there?) I would like to publicly state that I did my votes in extreme haste, thinking I was up against the deadline. Thus my list is heavy on the canon and light on deep cuts (much like the live set I saw a few years ago.) Given time to research I probably would have changed a few things. I also neglected the side poll and video poll, due to unfamiliarity. I might have given those more time as well. That said, let's enjoy and get it on!
