This week's poll is IT!  This is the poll that is going to get all you shy folks that view my theme polls but don't participate, to participate.  There are no wrong answers.  There are a few well known artists but mostly lesser knowns artists and songs.  It is fairly eclectic and I think will make for a fun playlist.  Listen to the songs and vote for your three favorites.  Talk about them.  Tell us which ones you like.  This poll will cure you of your coulrophobia.  Clown  I have provided all of the videos below and I have created a YouTube video playlist for you to take on the go.  And please, whatever you do, don't complain that there are No Clowns.

Great poll. While I think about it, here’s another three clowns for your delectation.

Atrox - Castle for Clowns (Experimental/Post Metal)

Pingvinorkestern - Alfred the Clown and His Highly Trained Poodles (Eclectic Prog)
(Couldn’t find a YouTube video)

Soul Enema - Of Clans and Clones and Clowns (Eclectic Prog)
(Only a small spoken word piece, but still one I enjoy - and it is the title track, so the whole album is about clowns - albeit more about politicians than entertainers.)

Smokey Robinson - Tears of a Clown.  James Jamerson usually gets the most accolades for playing bass on Motown hits but most people forget about the other great bass player Motown had, Bob Babbitt.  'Tears of a Clown' demonstraites why Babbitt should never be overlooked.

I'm not too fond of Sunsets on Empire, but the first two songs are great. Goldfish and Clowns is my pick.

Nice playlist for the weekend!
I have been listening to it but while doing other things so I was distracted. Two tracks distracted me from my distraction, so they get my first two votes: Fish and The Gak Omek. I may be back for a third vote...

Here's another one that might have garnished some interest, but there wasn't a YouTube video:

Hmmm...the one non-prog song from the one non-prog artist has the most votes.  What does that say about us?  CryClown
