As a mostly longtime lurker (and occasional ranter), I love the
polls. My main interests are more straight ahead jazz, but I've
received more than enough good advice on new discs to buy to justify
the traffic. Simon's idea above would make the list even more
valuable.

The list also is fascinating when the Tricky album ended up on half
of the best lists and half of the overrated lists. I love this kind
of thing!
