Status: offline 		Another big-ass set of music polls. Round 7 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.

I just can't vote.  Several Canadians in that batch.  I know, Americans don't get much exposure to our music.  But, really...

17 and looking straight up the skirt of the tarted out schoolgirl outfit she used to wear on stage.  Yeah,  I was smuggling a didgeridoo most of the night.

(*) Americans will probably only recognize that band from their song "Breakaway" which was the music playing during the opening sequence of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" or from "Young Einstein".

KD Lang. 


She is insanely popular in the Country scene.. and esp in Canada. She has been in many film sountracks... but she never caught on in the US ( too butch I guess.. all of our female pop stars have to be "fuckable" *chuckles* )

Lang ranked #33 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Rock & Roll in 1999 and #26 on CMT' 40 Greatest Women in Country Music in 2002, one of only eight women to make both lists. The others were Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt, and Lucinda Williams.
In 2003, she won her fourth Grammy Award, this time for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her collaboration with Tony Bennett, A Wonderful World.

She isnt my fave of all time.. but she has a large and impressive body of work.

But I would pick her out of the bunch.

Status: offline 		Michael W. Smith is not a one-hit wonder.  Maybe in the standard pop charts, but he's won three Grammy Awards and had quite a few Grammy nominations; he's also had quite an impressive list of Dove Awards.

Yes, i used to be into Christian Contemporary; hell, i used to be an ordained minister. LoL.  Time changes much.
