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.

Controversy of the last one means we're suddenly going for a safe option?

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.

Anyone else remember that show?

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!
