The initial album poll results...

The voting period is now over, as I haven't gotten any mail today (10/26).
Any new votes will be kept and if there is enough change to warrant posting
updated results, I shall.

The votes were tabulated on a 6,5,4,3,2,1 descending scale.  OK, OK, so
this makes things confusing, but whoever has the data makes the rules.
I personally like systems where the most points denotes the winner.

TKI	2 5 3 3 2 3 2 2 5 3 4 1 2 3 3 6 3 3 3 2 3 6 5 3 3 4 2 4 3 2 - 96

LH	1 1 1 2 1 2 1 3 2 4 1 2 1 1 1 3 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 3 2 1 - 47

NfE	3 2 2 1 5 1 3 1 4 2 2 3 4 4 5 1 1 2 2 5 5 1 2 2 5 3 3 2 1 5 - 82

TD	6 6 6 6 6 6 6 4 1 6 6 4 6 5 6 2 5 4 6 6 4 4 6 6 6 6 5 6 4 4 - 154

HoL	5 3 5 5 3 5 5 5 6 5 5 6 5 6 4 4 6 5 5 4 6 5 4 5 4 6 6 5 6 6 - 150

_TSW_	4 4 4 4 4 3 4 6 3 1 3 5 3 2 3 5 4 6 4 3 2 3 3 4 2 1 4 1 5 3 - 103

or in AP/UPI "College Football Top-20" Mode 8-)

		1) The Dreaming (18)	   154
		2) Hounds of Love (9)	   150
		3) _The_Sensual_World_ (2) 103
		4) The Kick Inside (2)	    96
		5) Never For Ever 	    82
		6) Lionheart		    47

Things won't add up exactly because there were two ties.

The preceding information was forwarded to an interested Love-Hound statis-
tician, who will probably murder this sample something fierce.

This contest will be repeated in a year or so, to see how things have changed
in our view of _The_Sensual_World_.

P. S.  Some suggested that an even better idea is a song poll.  Would some-
one out there like to take this on?
