To be fair, neither is Sergeant Pepper's unless you're a senior staff writer for Rolling Stone.

Of course it's not! But I don't for a second expect Sgt. Pepper's to go all the way.

Oh, trust me, I understand that. It's exactly the sort of thinking that makes me like being a member of the music forums a tiny fraction less. The strategic voting doesn't bother me that much since this whole thing is in essence a popularity contest, but I do think purposely trying to cancel out someone else's opinion because you clearly know better is a bit crass when done in a vote that ultimately nobody has a true stake in. Basically, I think Jens jokingly summed the attitude up best when he made his "I should be the only one voting here" comment. I don't think I need to elaborate how that attitude can be distasteful when taken seriously or how it runs a bit counter to the idea of giving everyone a vote in the first place.

Anyway, it's no big deal. Either way I'm still finding out a lot about what kind of music you guys like, and that's really about all I expected to get out of this. And yeah, I too am a bit bummed that Neil lost by a coin flip. I totally would have voted for him over Joy Division.

P.S. I am sorry, I don't mean to turn this into Serious Business.
