Status: offline 		Another big-ass set of music polls. Round 5 of 8. That means, if you don't see a favorite here, look at the other 7 before bitching. If it's not on those, either I missed it, or it sucks.
 
These initial 8 rounds will last until Wednesday evening at 7:00 central time. Then we'll put each rounds winner into a final poll. Weeeee..... Thanks for voting and commenting, as always, I appreciate it.

And some of these are artists that had more than one hit; but I argue that they only had one smash, you could say. I'm looking more for an interesting set of battles than an ultra-strict definition of 1 hit.
