I did lock up all the silverware beforehand though.
^ I´m happy to see that with your help, presumably, "Team Beefheart" is winning the poll at the moment. Beefheart´s narrow lead seems to be upsetting somebody, though :-

Sorry to be argumentative, Thinkofthechildren, but I would like to dispute a couple of things you said:-

(i) at least you opted to put inverted commas around the word "official", because of course there´s no such thing in this case. There´s no coersion; you don´t even have to admit who you voted for if you don´t want to.

(ii) plenty of posts here indicate that plenty of people don´t consider Trout Mask "a bunch of tripe". Maybe it has some virtues that you are overlooking.

(iii)"VU&Nico is songwriting 101, text book music." Not entirely sure what you mean by this and not entirely convinced that it´s a good thing for an album to be.
