[Introspective] Final results of poll on "Introspective" album versions vs. single versions

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors which they prefer -- the album version or the single/7-inch 
version -- of each of the songs on the Pet Shop Boys' album "Introspective." 
And the results turned out to be:

* Majorities preferred the album versions of "Left to My Own Devices," "I 
Want a Dog," "Domino Dancing," and "I'm Not Scared," but the single versions 
of "Always on My Mind" and "It's Alright."

* The song with the strongest majority vote of all was (perhaps not 
surprisingly) "I'm Not Scared," for which 82.2% of the voters preferred the 
album version, as opposed to only 17.8% preferring the single version (by 
Eighth Wonder).

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at

button in the left navigation bar.

My new poll for the week ahead is a rerun of a question that I asked more 
than ten years ago (!) when I had far fewer site visitors. In fact, when I 
asked it before, there were only 23 voters! I'm asking you to pick your 
favorite officially released version -- not counting the album, single, or 
live versions -- of each of the singles from "Actually." I expect this to be 
the first of a non-consecutive series of such reruns of those 2001 questions 
regarding favorite mixes/versions of singles. Thanks so much to Paul Atkin 
for suggesting that I ask these questions again.

I'm also debuting a new (and only temporary) bonus feature on my website: a 
PSB albums puzzle. You'll find links to it on both my home page and on my 
"What's New?" page. I hope you'll have some challenging fun with it -- and 
not find it *too* frustrating! ;-)

Finally, I couldn't let the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks go without 
mention. So also on my "What's New?" page you'll find a personal 
reminiscence of the events of that fateful day.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I 
hope you all have a very safe and happy week ahead. Take care!
