DISQUS

Obviously the poll results were self-selecting and so left out many listeners with sound musical and historical judgment... Seriously, though, this reminds me a bit of the blog post a while back that cited a survey in which the former Nirvana singer was the top rock hero of all time or somthing... clearly these polls reflect overly heavily a specific demographics' "here and now" or worse, the "now" of that demographics' formative years, and not a broader historical sense... It's sort of like asking a 12-year-old kid who's only been exposed to Friendly's and McDonalds what the greatest culinary invention of all time is. Would we be surprised if he said, "hamburgers"?
