Best Jones in music?

Leroi Jones, Nasir Jones and David Jones rejected due to the Bowie rule (ie: it ain't your real name that counts, its your stage name)

Sam Jones rejected because as far as I can tell he was a playwright, not a musical theater writer.

If this works out well expect a Smith in music poll.

Is Jim Jones is the guy from the Hypnotics or the guy from Pere Ubu or the rapper or what?

Sorry, THEE Hypnotics.

Actually, there should be a best Jim Jones in music preliminary sub-poll.

The one in the talking heads song seems to be a different guy, but maybe it's just Byrne's perspective is pretty off.

Which one was married to Mrs.?

refusing to vote because nas isn't included. that doesnt even make sense..."nas" isn't even a "stage name"...it's just a shortened version of his actual name

Didn't we just do this?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Hey, I forgot about this.

Kevin, you know I love you but no one gives a shit about what Nas' driver's licence says.

The one in the talking heads song seems to be a different guy, but maybe it's just Byrne's perspective is pretty off.

IIRC it's the same Mr Jones. I think Byrne was going for a rather more sympathetic take on this everyman, rather than Dylan's sneering dismissal of him.

No Jack Jones? (of gleefully sexist "Wives and Lovers" fame)

― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 23 April 2009 23:29 (seventeen years ago)

Pretty sure I forgot to vote.
