OK. Things are off and running. 16 votes so far. Approximately 1/6 of the way there. There are only a handful of songs yet to receive any recognition.

K, just finished the survey... It was cool.

Great survey.

Really interested to see the results.

Thanks for putting it together

Done.

Thanks !

Ya .. Iam done..

Good work creating this

Did it. You'll post the results OP?

Thanks, that was fun! Looking forward to the results

I had intended to post the full results after 100 responses, but it's only been going for a few hours and I'm already more than half way there, so I might let it go a little longer. I might do a mini round up at 100, and then the full results sometime later in the week.

So far, some very interesting numbers. Keep 'em coming!

Cool I did it, you should do all the albums 1980 -88 next, that would be fun

It's interesting to see that, so far, the poll indicates that the majority are satisfied with this era.

Yep. I think the negativity often appears more rampant on forums and the like because it's more compelling to post something if you feel let down in some way. Still, with 27% listeners feeling "disappointed" and 14% feeling "indifferent", it's not exactly numbers to write home about... (personally, I voted for "mostly impressed")

This was a fun idea. Thanks Toejam.

I was curious to see the results.

I guess all I can say is I am absoultely AMAZED that "What Do You Want Me To Do" didn't make the top of the heap from Musicology. It is an album that gets lambasted around here and I always defend it for that song alone, which I consider to be Prince's last genius composition.

And of course, the only other two albums from ths period I actually like to some degree (Lotus and 20Ten) have two of my least favorite songs listed as favorites on BOTH.

Man the Org is just littered with tasteless folks who wouldn't know a good song if it jumped up and bit them in the arse!!!!!

nice survey thanx 4 sharing

^^WDWM2D has such a weak chorus, can't stand it!

All right... Admit it. Who was the numbskull that voted "Purple & Gold" as one of their top 3 favourite b-sides/one-off tracks?!! Now every song has received at least one vote. Survey is still open. 184 responsed so far.

Survey is now closed. 206 votes in a little under 24 hours. Thanks to everyone who particpated. Results are now being tallied. Stay tuned!
