This week's stop on the Acclaimed Music World Tour is in the home of Microsoft and Starbucks, Seattle, Washington.

The rules are as follows:

In voting for this week's HEADLINER, voters have 10 points to distribute among as many artists as they like, with a maximum of 6 points for any one artist. The artist with the most points will be the HEADLINER while the runner-up will take the position of OPENING ACT.

In voting for this week's SET LIST, voters have 25 points to distribute among as many songs as they like, with a maximum of 12 points for any one song. The top ten songs will be played at this week's show.

Remember that the artists or songs that you choose should be associated with Seattle or locations nearby in some way.

Voting will end at 11:59 PM on Sunday, June 19, 2011.

The most acclaimed artists of/connected to Seattle and its surroundings according to Acclaimed Music (with their all-time rank in parentheses) are:

Jimi Hendrix (11)

I couldn't find any acclaimed songs about Seattle.

You may of course vote for any artist or song you like provided they have some connection to Seattle. Songs can be about Seattle, they can be written by an artist from Seattle or any other link you can draw to the city or its surroundings.

Voting will end at 11:59 PM on Monday, June 27.

Although the voting this week concentrates on the Emerald City, you'll have to drive a good 3 hours outside city limits to reach this week's stunning venue, THE GORGE AMPHITHEATRE. Situated directly on the east bank of the Columbia River, the Gorge offers stunning views for over 20,000 people. Hometown bands Foo Fighters, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie and Fleet Foxes have stopped by for the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival while local giants Pearl Jam have released a seven-disc box set from their concerts at the Gorge entitled Live at the Gorge 05/06.



Next week will see the AMWT head north of the Canadian border for the first time for a gig in Calgary, Alberta.

So many great artists, almost impossible to only give 10 points.
