[Introspective] Final results of poll comparing "Yes" to "Very, " track-by-track

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors to take part in a track-by-track comparison of the Pet Shop 
Boys' albums "Very" and "Yes," choosing their favorite song from each 
pairing.

* In the final outcome, seven "Very" tracks got more votes than their 
counterparts on "Yes," compared to five "Yes" tracks beating out their 
counterparts on "Very." The "winners" were:

   * "Can You Forgive Her?" (Very)
   * "I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing" (Very)
   * "Liberation" (Very)
   * "Did You See Me Coming?" (Yes)
   * "Dreaming of the Queen" (Very)
   * "Yesterday, When I Was Mad" (Very)
   * "The Theatre" (Very)
   * "King of Rome" (Yes)
   * "Pandemonium" (Yes)
   * "The Way It Used to Be" (Yes)
   * "This Used to Be the Future" (Yes etc.)
   * "Go West/Postscript" (Very)

* And in the overall comparison of "Very" and "Yes," "Very" came out on top, 
with 62.9% of the vote.

To see the complete, detailed, song-by-song results, please visit my 
"Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and click the "Past 
Survey Results" button in the left navigation bar.

My new poll for the week ahead asks you to rate the music video for the new 
single "Did You See Me Coming?" on a scale of 0 to 6 as it compares to other 
PSB music videos, with 0 meaning "the worst PSB music video ever," 3 meaning 
"an average PSB music video," and 6 meaning "the best PSB music video ever." 
So please take a moment to register your rating right there on my home page. 
And thanks to the site visitors who wrote to suggest this poll (or one very 
much like it) -- which, to be honest, I had already been planning on running 
anyway. ;-)

Thanks so much to everyone who voted in this past week's survey! And I hope 
you all have a marvelous week ahead!
