[Introspective] Final results of poll on favorite cover produced by PSB

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors to pick their favorite cover version of a non-PSB song 
produced by the Pet Shop Boys for another artist. And the track that 
received the largest number of votes was:

* "Losing My Mind" by Liza Minnelli, with 33.4% of the total vote.

To see the complete 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 is slightly unusual in that it focuses on a 
single older song: "One and One Make Five." I've long been struck by the 
fact that so many of my fellow PSB fans don't seem to like it. For instance, 
in my "Rating Project," in which I've asked my site visitors to rate tracks 
written and/or recorded by the Boys, it ranks way down at #208 with an 
average rating of only 5.761, well below average. And it's not at all 
unusual to see disparaging comments about it on various online forums. Yet, 
while it's hardly one of my favorite PSB tracks, I don't dislike it one bit. 
In fact, I'm personally rather fond of it, as I am of every other track on 
"Very." So, to close out the year, I'm asking a question that I've long 
pondered: just what is it about "One and One Make Five" that makes it such a 
relatively unpopular PSB track? Please take a few moments to make your 
choice from the options provided right there on my home page.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I hope 
you all have a terrific week ahead and a very happy holiday season!
