  • 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 saw Johnny Marr singing this song at the Meltdown festival at Royal Festival Hall in 2005. It was wonderful. I cried.

                    My lovely bride chose this for her entrance at our wedding last April. I introduced her to Morrissey during out courtship, and Please Please Please... has always been her favorite.

                        they managed to get Lionel Richie to play keyboards. quite a coup considering it was around the height of his 'hello' fame.

                          I pick Morrissey's edgier version of an old Smiths classic.

                            Ex-Hefner drummer, Ant, had a version on an indiepop compilation a few years ago. It's lovely.

                              I preferred the "Gayest Video" debate as well. When everyone agrees like this and the subject isn't very interesting, you've got nothing.
                              I like the controversy too. So does Morrissey obviously. The boy's been in trouble!
