Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to choose your succinct assessment of the Pet Shop Boys' fifth studio album, Very, in the wake of its recent silver (25th) anniversary. If you haven't voted yet, please take a moment to visit my "Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and make your choice from the options provided right there on my home page. On Sunday I will end this poll, post the final results, and launch a new survey for the following two weeks. (Actually, on account of personal circumstances, it will run for just a little more than two weeks.) Thanks to everyone who has already voted! And I hope you all have fantastic weekend!

And the response that received the most votes was: * "It may not be their absolute greatest album, but I think Very is certainly *one* of their best," chosen by a whopping 64.4% of the voters. To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and select one of the "Past Survey Results" options in the top navigation bar or click the appropriate link on my "What's New?" page. My new poll for the coming two weeks -- actually, for just a little more than two weeks (more about that in a moment) -- is based on a widespread but admittedly debatable premise: that, way back in 1988, the music video for "Domino Dancing" did irreparable harm to the momentum of the Pet Shop Boys' career in the United States, resulting in them never again having a major mainstream hit single there. Site visitor Adrian Williams suggested that I ask which of their subsequent singles over the next ten years or so (up through 2000) do you think would have, under different circumstances, had the greatest chance of having become a major U.S. hit single. So please mull this over and, when you're ready, make your selection right there on my home page. Personal circumstances will prevent me from switching to a new poll precisely two weeks from now, on October 21. Instead, I won't be able to conclude this poll until the following day, Monday, October 22 -- and, depending on your time zone, that be Tuesday, October 23, for you. So this survey will run until then, after which the one that follows will run just a little less than two weeks. After that, I plan on resuming my "traditional" weekly survey schedule. In the meantime, thanks to Adrian Williams for suggesting this new poll question. And thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! I wish you all a wonderful two weeks ahead!

And the single that received the most votes was: * "Go West," picked by 18.9% of the voters. To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and select one of the "Past Survey Results" options in the top navigation bar or click the appropriate link on my "What's New?" page. My new poll for next two weeks should be considerably less controversial. I'm simply wondering about the first "PSB product" you ever bought or at least owned after having otherwise received it, such as a gift. Was it one of their albums? If so, which one? Or was it a single? If so, from which decade? Or maybe it was something else other than an album or single. So please take a moment to make the correct choice for you right there on my home page. Thanks to everyone who voted in my previous survey! And I hope you all have a wonderful couple of weeks ahead!
