33 votes for this. Interestingly, though the albums list received more votes, only 722 different albums were voted for, with over 1100 different singles getting votes for the singles poll. Naturally, the albums that topped our poll scored much higher than the singles. Anyway, like I said earlier, this poll's gonna be a lot slower going than the albums one. More time to appreciate the YSIs and whatnot I guess. Non-singles voted for that would've made the poll: Jimmy Cliff - "Many Rivers to Cross" The Sonics - "Strychine" there was another one, but I can't remember it at the moment. Time to get it on (bang a gong).
