Farm Aid Poll

The 40th Farm Aid benefit concert was held yesterday, September 20, 2025. The entire thing, all eleven hours' worth, was released on multiple platforms, including YouTube. I already grabbed a video file of the whole shebang. Since I've made posting music festivals a focus for my blog, it's a no-brainer for me to post some of this one.

So, the question I have for you is, how much of this would you like to have in your music collection? I'm going to leave this open ended. Vote for as many musical acts as you want. Then I'll look at the vote breakdown and decide how many I'll turn into albums. I assume the big names are going to get plenty of votes, but I'm curious to see the level of interest in the lesser known ones.

Note that the sets are pretty short, at least based on song number (I actually haven't listened to any of this yet). For instance, Steve Earle played just four songs, and Bob Dylan just five. John Mellencamp and Neil Young each played seven. You can look here to see who played what:
