The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors what they consider to be the most and least "typical" Pet Shop 
Boys studio albums. And the albums that received the largest numbers of 
votes were:

* "Actually," which received the most votes (33.0%) as the *most* typical 
PSB album, and

* "Release," chosen by a clear majority of voters (57.4%) as the *least* 
typical PSB album.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and chosen one of the options in the top 
navigation area that will take you to "Past Survey Results," or click the 
appropriate link on today's "What's New?" page entry.

My new poll for the week ahead asks you to exercise your imagination even 
more than usual. Try to think of the Pet Shop Boys not as one great pop duo 
with a career spanning nearly thirty years, but instead as four different 
recording acts, each of whose career encompasses only the years of the four 
decades in which the Boys have been active: the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, 
and the 2010s (thus far). In light of this, how do you think you would feel 
about each of those four different sets of "Pet Shop Boys"? Would any of 
them be your all-time favorite recording artist? How many (if any) might be 
your favorite just for that decade? Do you think any of them might not 
actually be of much interest to you? Please mull this over and, when you're 
ready, make your choices right there on my home page.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey. And I 
wish you all a delightful week ahead!
