It's good in a tautological kind of way.

I liked the line "a good middleweight poll"'


as an aside why crawjo sometimes wants to listen to avaergae music is beyond my reality

maybe comes from the same brain that thinks Melvin Mora is better than the Big Papi

So far, I've only offered "crowns" to Theoria and "Rate This Poll."

This is the only poll, apart from the Coda one, I've been able to participate in because I've never heard any of the albums polled.

So this is a great poll...

Isn't that the sort of back-handed compliment that became a millstone for Hank Mobley?

Yeah, but that's not uncommon. Lots of German last names in Poland, too.

One of the most successful poll ever on this board. 22 answer so far.
I don't know what to vote myself. I must think about and comeback later.

Why doesn't anyone in JC do polls anymore?

I find polls too simplistic. There is more often than not no choice option that accurately reflects my opinion.

That's actually a really good idea tippy! Like on a paper hand out questionnaire with little box at the bottom of the page to write down your comments etc. Could serve to shake up the whole poll scene here at JC, and bring back the Poll.
I personally am thinking of putting one together, but am somewhat leery of getting a dispiriting non response...
