For whatever it's worth , I excluded my own entry from my voting decission. There is some truely outstanding work in this poll , unfortunately several of what I consider the best photographs only ellude to the song titles . The Theme was "Song title LITERALISMS and that is what I based my decissions on. I feel quite humbled by having an entry in with the likes of what I've seen here. Great work and thanks for sharing

I'd have to agree with seacapt. A lot of good shots, but not as many "literalisms" as I had expected. Hopefully everyone votes based on the criteria.

Some good ones there. And some surprises. Good selections.
I think I followed the guidelines well enough and chose those which best resemble the images conjured by the song titles.
But then again, I am listening to Living Colour right now so my opinion is suspect to more than a few of you.
I once often used the lyrics to the Pearl Jam song in signatures in email and a music discussion forum to encourage people to dust off their fuzzy warbles and take a revolving record for a spin.

Good Call Nowhere Matt! Even before this contest, I had been toying with the idea of doing a shot-a-week series based on song titles (more interpretive than literal, mind you)... "Cult of Personality" would be a tough one to try and capture, but I might have to add that to my list. Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to go listen to it now.

Don't worry about "suspect " opinion, everybody's got one. I was pushed for time on my entry (only found this site a few days before contest ended ) so I worked with what was readilly available to me . I thought about and could have easilly put together in time something for Phish's "Sample in a Jar" but was affraid it was too "non mainstream" so I played it safe. In hindsight I should have gone with Phish. The point is say what ya wanna say and shoot what ya wanna shoot, if it is "suspect " oh well ! By the way Living Colour was a favorite band , wish they had put out more.

Good call, Mickey (I guess I'm still thinking in literal terms)... Speaking of Obama... I'm surprised nobody did "Imagine" and used a picture of him. That was one of my original ideas for this contest, but figured it would be done a few times.
