  • 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.

    Cram the New Album (Score:1)
    If you are like me, you only buy the new album so you don't look like an ignorant Moz fan at the concert. If you are screaming to 'This Charming Man' but have your hands in your pocket during 'Sorry Doesn't Help' you look like a tool.

    I usually cram the new album a week before a show. The ride to the show is the practice test and the concert is the final. Once I do the give the album a good listen, I am always grateful.

    And a lot of other bands, too. But mostly I concentrate on my breathing...ha!

    I say "a lot" because I always have a bit of drive - as most of us do.

              I love the new album! (Score:0)
              If first heard the Smiths when they were still a band in the late 80's. I remember the break up, 'Viva Hate' issue, and wen't to see Moz 3 times on the 'Kill Uncle' tour. I'll see him this weekend in Austin. It will be my 7th Morrissey show! I always listen to the new album when I go see Moz. It helps that 'YOR' is bad-ass great! The first 6 songs are some of his best in years. I also love 'When I last Spoke to C', 'Sorry Doesn't Help', and 'OK By Myself'. Great stuff- great album!!! One of his very best!

              On the way to Chicago, I listened to YOR, Quarry and Vauxhall but for some reason, there isn't an opition for the new album and others together. I voted for compilation since it was the closest choice.

                    OK, I'm going to sound like a 70 year old or something here but..... please go easy on the stage rush in Austin. I would like to see a full show and Moz does not look to be in the mood this tour for a bunch of crazy fans to climb all over him on stage. Other than that, enjoy the show and God Bless. The Easter bunny will be watching you.

                          I have listened to so much Morrissey, especially the new album, leading up to the show in Dallas that I actually did not listen to anything all day before the show.

                          I do wish I hadden't seen so many clips on youtube. It made the live show more surreal in person.

                                These poll results surprise me a bit. That such a great majority of people actually listen to music on the way to a concert indicates that they go alone to concerts. At least I would find it rude to listen to music and not talk to the person/s I am going with, and I have not gone alone to a Morrissey concert (or any other for that matter) since Gothenburg 1997.
