  • 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.

If Morrissey won't give us the products we want, I'm glad somebody will.

Warner makes some classic movies anyway, so they might as well take a little more of my money. Take a look at some of the all time great releases (Albums & Films) they've been behind!

      I love Moz and his work but he needs to put this to rest. He will make money off these two issues. He may not make a lot but he will make money. It's called the law. He just doesn't like to share his cash and/or have anything put out without his little stamp on it. Grow up, Mate. I'll buy both.

      I'll buy it because Morrissey has always, and continues to, inspire me through his music. No one else releases anything worth listening to, so why not savour what we can find? Screw royalties...I'm a fan and could care less about his finances.

          I'm shocked that so few people went for 'album only' - Moz's solo songs from the last couple of years stink!

          Whereas the quality of the tracklist from the Smiths compilation is there for all to see. Who cares if Moz has nothing to do with the album. I'll still buy it.

If you ask me if Morrissey really cares about money coming from us truly fans of the MOZ. I think he should rethink of what he said. And let his fans and myself buy both of the merchendise. To me this world is fucked up with crap that invovled with money. Let the fans decide what they want.
