  • Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
  • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
  • This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I live in the upstate region and I usually like doing a lot of different things with my friends, but lately the food has made my stomach upset and caused an awful lot of bathroom problems. The TV shows are good to watch also. Just hanging out and trying to have a good time. Plus there is a museum nearby to look at other things. Tomorrow is a really nice song.

Wow, Dave you said you were gonna do it (submit an air guitar poll) so congrats--nice! Do I get partial credit?! ;o) I do like Suedehead for so many reasons (air jamming one of them) but I'm gonna go with You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side. Quality riff(s) in that song. It's got a very Tommy gun feel to it to me(pumps me with a lot of arsenal!) not to mention the song will forever take me to that exact point at the Chicago show when I decided to invade the stage with the rush n push. Well, he was asking me to--"HERE I AM"! Nothing (ever) against Johhny Marr, but Boz is DA BOMB! Ok, so look out for my air drum poll someday when we've all forgotten about this one :o) p.s. Purple Rain still kicks ass, dude! Happee weekend ~C

    I am very fond of the guitar work at the end of Pigsty. It is not complex, but I think that it is just gorgeous, and I cannot help but play along to each note every time I hear it (usually in the car).

    I assume that is Alain playing, because he wrote the music. Whoever it is, I think they did a great, job.

      Hey, now THIS is a poll! Boy Racer is the best "metal" riff that Morrissey was ever a part of, so that got my vote -- it still gets me going after all these year. Weird, though, when I hear I Just Want To See The Boy Happy, I wish I were playing the drums, especially on live tracks. The guitar lines still rock, though.

        the intro/outro palm mutes, the chorus riff, the rockin' out bridge. Jack the Ripper is the best song to play air guitar and roll all over your bedroom floor to. It's also fairly easy to actually play if you have the right pedals.

          I don't know much at all about guitars (except classical guitar), but I go cucu when I listen to the guitar work on "Best Friend On The Payroll". People tend to neglect the album this song is in, but this song always calls me back to it. The guitar work in this album, in general, is simply fantastic.

          Yes, you're probably smarter than all of us put together. Is that what you want to hear?

          I think you're a combination of crashing bore/silly woman that Morrissey mentions in a couple of songs.

          I don't think you're Morrissey, as one poster apparently does. That's an outright insult to Morrissey.
