Poll of the week: Bob Dylan more popular than the Beatles
At least among the voters of last week's poll. Dylan won the poll among Bruce's musical influences with a fairly big margin to the Beatles on the second spot and Elvis on the third. Question is, of those artists who has actually influenced Bruce the most? Is it Bob Dylan with his emphasis on lyrics, or is it the stage show of James Brown? Or perhaps the whole rock 'n' roll attitude of an early Elvis Presley? The poll doesn't answer that, but it's something you can think about if you have nothing better to do.

This week's poll is about a rare phenomenon. Songs that Bruce co-wrote with others. There are very few of them. The released songs with co-writer credits can be counted on two hands. But some of them are classics, and the ones represented in the poll are all - to these ears - quality song writing. So which one is it? Let the voting begin.
