[I saw "Bob" picking his nose. Honest.]

A LOOOONG time ago I posted an article requesting what you
thought was the "best record ever made ever." I said that
if I got 50 responses, I'd summarize to the net. I got 46.
But guilt has been laying heavily on me, and my boss is on 
vacation, so I thought I'd post anyway. By the way, I didn't
even cast my vote. It would've only shown that you are ALL WRONG!!
Heh heh heh.


First the grand prizes for records receiving more than 1 vote:
--------------------------------------------------------------
4 votes: sgt pepper - the beedles
2 votes: velvet underground and nico - ditto   [yay!!]
	 lamb lies down... - genesis
	 white album - bee-bee-heads


Runner up prizes for BANDS receiving more than 1 vote:
------------------------------------------------------
Beatles - 4 for sgtpep, 2 for white; [NONE for rubber soul?!?!]
Ramones - 1 for mania, 1 for ramones, 1 for surfin bird [surfin bird??]
Genesis - 2 for lamb, 1 for foxtrot   [note the lack of phil...]
Marillion - clutching and misplaced   [MARILLION?????]


And now the general muck. These are presented in order of arrival;
if it's not here, I didn't get it, or it was unacceptable, e.g.,
you sent a list of best records ever made ever, which clearly is
impossible. I don't know if anybody stuffed the ballot box or not,
but the preponderance of beatles records is...ponderous. I was
also surprised I didn't get more Joy Division...here we go!
