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.

Handsome Devil or Accept Yourself (Score:0)

Handsome Devil rocks...it was always an all-time favorite because it was basic, raw and was filled with double meanings. Accept yourself, to me, had this big band feel to it....almost like something Tom Jones would sing...but the guitar work was so intricate and the words...."others conquered love but I ran, I sat in my room and I drew up a plan"....classic

Old House (Score:2, Interesting)

I voted for Back to the Old House as it is one of the most poignant and beautiful songs the Smiths created. The acoustic version on Hatful of Hollow is sublime. Definitely one of my favourite songs.

I also think that Morrissey's boys would do a brilliant job of Handsome Devil; furious and frenetic! That would be a terrific addition to the set.

Back to the Old House (Score:1)

Dear Friends,

This gem resonates with many Smiths fans. Painful memories, ghosts, regrets, and parts of ourselves make this song very rare indeed. Morrissey knew his audience precisely when he penned this song with Marr. Lost love, shame, and reconciliation abound. The speaker finally admits: "I would love to go... back to the old house... but I never will." An epilogue to the Smiths legacy? You tell me.

With love,
Ken Stavitzke

I'd love to hear "Wonderful Woman." It's a haunting masterpiece and I love Morrissey's ghostly vocals! I'd also love to hear "Jeane." About the fifth or sixth time you hear it you realize what a tremendous song it truly is. The lyrics are fantastic and I like the rougher edge that Morrissey puts on his vocals.
