Results below of poll to determine the Top Ten Most Favorite Rock Recording Artists of Hardcore Husky Members. Thanks to all those that participated.

Each vote = number of times a particular artist/band made it onto a poster’s list.

1) Led Zeppelin (16 votes) – No surprises here

2) Metallica (10 votes) – Too many of us are fags according to @Swaye because Metallica didn’t win.

3A) Rolling Stones (9 votes) – Tough loss for me here as a “Stones better than Zep” guy, but I will respect the results of this election.

3B) Pink Floyd (9 votes)

5) The Who (8 votes) – Was really pleased by a competitive showing here by one of my all time favorites.

6) The Beatles (7 votes) – I was worried they might not make the cut.

7A) Tool (6 votes)

7B) AC DC (6 votes)

8) 5 Way Tie with 5 votes each: Bowie, Hendrix, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and (not the fucking) Eagles.

Honorable mention (4 or more votes): Soundgarden, Neil Young, Radio Head, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers

    I voted for Zeppelin but really they shouldn't be number 1. They aren't the best, but the most popular.

    I don't like a single band on that list. I do like Bieber though.

    The neo hippie jam bands suck mostly but I had the Dead in my top 10. Apparently only one other person agreed with me.

    I can kinda see Boob's point here- i.e., Zep was very capable of extended, self indulgent jamming live-e.g., as seen in the Song Remains the Same. Who stretched out a bit on some tracks on Live and Leeds but nothing along the line of Zep. Can't speak to Tool as not too knowledgeable here.

    Jesus - who counted the votes? The King County Board of Elections?

    Tool?!? For fuck sakes, I don't care if you're the biggest hater in the world but no fucking way Tool deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as The Police, Queen, U2, or, hell, even the fucking Eagles.

    I can assure you all of the integrity of the vote counting. Queen and U2 just missed the 4 vote cut-off for honorable mention.

    We will get to other genres soon enough. We'll cover hip hop, country, soul/funk, etc.

    I left the Eagles off my list but they are all over my play list. Saw them at @Swaye northern plains home at the Muckleshoot early this century. Still a great show

    You seem like the sort of old timey Dawg fan that would like the peaceful, easy, feeling of the eagles and a fresh bowl.

    If AC/DC came in behind Nirvana, I was going to set fire to the whole fucking place.

    Tool really doesn't belong tied with the bad boys, either. Picking scabs again can't really compare to movin' down the motorway with a whole lotta booze. Not a huge complaint, though, as Tool does rock and I like them.

    Definitely a stronger than expected showing by Metallica. Fine with me.

    This pole wasn't entirely gay. Props to YellowSnow for tabulating the results.

    U2? Fuck off with that faggy Bono and shitty music.

    I didn't pick them, rather, just referring to their getting some votes. Personally I think U2 is one of the most overrated bands ever despite my owning a few of their albums. I was kind of surprised with the utter lack of Pearl Jam support. I thought some early 90s Doogs would be pulling for them.

    I thought about Pearl jam but not enough good music. They have a ton of albums and I don't care about most of them. Ten is solid tho.

    I just think U2 is awful. I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a pencil than listen to U2 or Hootie.
