[rec.music.gaffa] time for a poll...

Love-Hounds-request@GAFFA.MIT.EDU (10/24/89)

Really-From: "Peter Freeman" <peterf@oddjob.uchicago.edu>

I would like to see how the perception of _The_Sensual_World_ changes
over time, and consequently I would like to take a poll now, and perhaps
in six months or a year (if I don't completely forget :-).

The poll: send me your ranking of KT's six albums (not including _The_Whole_
Story_).  If you haven't heard all six, don't vote (that should cut my
work down).

If you're not sure how you feel about _TSW_, well...that's the whole idea.
I'm not a statistician, so I don't care about particulars; I just want to
see if _TSW_ moves up or down in time.

I will post the results after I feel the roll-off point has been reached.

Important- put GAFFA on the subject line, so I can pick poll e-mail out from
Cure e-mail.

Please keep comments to a minimum, as I am a first-year and supposedly have
no time for such things as this.

2) The Kick Inside
3) Hounds of Love
4) The Sensual World
5) Never For Ever (or is it Never Forever... whatever)
6) Lionheart

(P.S. another interesting poll would be the top 10 KT _songs_...)

Sorry.  I refuse to make a ranking like this, for two reasons:

1)  My ranking of the albums changes on a daily, if not hourly,
basis, as I listen to them.  When I'm not listening to _Lionheart_,
for example, I tend to rate it kind of low.  (Sorry, Larry!)
Yet, when I am listening to it, I realize that it's full of
all these great songs: "Wow", "Don't Push. . .", "Oh England. . .",
"Kashka. . .", "Hammer Horror", etc.  How could I call this album
anything other than brilliant?
    Each album has wonderful songs.  What more could I want?

2)  I don't want to offend people whose ranking order is different
from mine.
