[Introspective] Final results of poll on your top five "PSB fandom factors"

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors to choose up to five factors that contribute most to them 
being a fan of the Pet Shop Boys. And the five factors that received the 
most votes are:

* "The intelligence and general excellence of their lyrics," chosen by 73.0% 
of the voters,
* "The beauty of their melodies," selected by 61.9%,
* "Their terrific 'musical style' and instrumental arrangements," picked by 
52.6%,
* "Their innovation, inventiveness, and imagination," selected by 31.9%, and
* "Synthpop and/or dance music in general -- and they're among the best at 
it," chosen by 28.2%.

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

Results" options in the top navigation bar, or click the appropriate link on 
my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the week ahead focuses on the producers the Pet Shop Boys 
have employed to produce their albums. I'm wondering, of those who produced 
half or more of any particular PSB album (either "alone" or in collaboration 
with Chris and Neil), which are, in your opinion, the best producer and the 
one you would most like for them to tap again as producer for some future 
album. (The two may not necessarily be the same; that's entirely up to you.) 
Thanks so much to Andrea Grasso for suggesting this question. (Actually, 
it's only half of the suggestion;the other half would prove much more 
challenging for me to manage as a poll question, so I may or may not be able 
to get to it at a later date.)

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