[Introspective] Final results of poll on ranking PSB studio album covers

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors to rank the covers of the Pet Shop Boys studio albums from #1 
to #11, with #1 being their favorite PSB album cover (or the one they 
consider the "best") and #11 being their least favorite (or "worst"), along 
with everything in between. And the album cover that came out on top was:

* "Actually," with an average ranking of 3.472, and also chosen as #1 by the 
largest number of voters.

And the PSB album cover that came out dead last? That dubious distinction 
goes to "Release," with an average ranking of 8.179. Not so coincidentally, 
it was also picked as #11 by the largest number of voters.

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 navigation bar.

My new poll for the week ahead doesn't involve ratings or rankings. Instead, 
it's based on an observation made recently by one of my site visitors, who 
said that he believes the Pet Shop Boys have been moving away over the past 
decade or more (ever since "Release") from dance music so "softer," more 
contemplative, more ballad-oriented songs. He was wondering whether you, his 
fellow fans, agree with this assessment. And, if so, how do you feel about 
it? So please mull this over and then make your choice from the options 
provided right there on my home page. And thanks so much to Paulo for 
suggesting this intriguing question!

Thanks as well to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I hope you 
all have a fantastic week ahead!
