UNDERWORLD FAN POLL 2004

AS WE ARE AT A POINT BETWEEN UNDERWORLD ALBUMS AND WE HAVE RECENTLY HAD AN ANTHOLOGY SUMMING UP THE PAST 10 YEARS OF UNDERWORLD - I DECIDED THAT IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO TAKE A POLL OF THE FANS - THROUGH THE DIRTY FORUM AND THE RTSR SITE - WHERE I ASKED FOR THE FANS TO VOTE FOR THEIR FAVOURITE TRACKS BY THE BAND.

HOW THE POLL WORKED:

EACH FAN NOMINATED THEIR TEN FAVOURITE UNDERWORLD TRACKS, TRACK NUMBER 1 SCORED 10 POINTS DOWN TO THE TENTH PLACED TRACK WHICH SCORED ONE POINT.

ONLY TRACKS RECORDED BY UNDERWORLD WERE ALLOWED - (INCLUDING LEMON INTERUPT) - NO TRACKS REMIXED BY UNDERWORLD WERE INCLUDED, BUT REMIXES OF UNDERWORLD WERE INCLUDED WHERE APPROPRIATE - THAT WAS ABOUT IT. AND THESE ARE THE RESULTS.

SUMMARY

BELOW IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS:

(A FULL LIST OF THE 52 TRACKS VOTED FOR ARE LISTED BELOW THAT)

  • A TOTAL OF 52 TRACKS WERE NOMINATED IN THE SELECTIONS OF THE FANS - JUST SOME TRACKS NOT VOTED FOR INCLUDE: AIRTOWEL, BLUESKI, STAGGER, SKYM, SOMETHING LIKE A MAMA, OH, MINNEAPOLIS, ECLIPSE, ESS GEE, HEADSET, LITTLE SPEAKER...
  • 65.5% OF ALL PEOPLE WHO POLLED , VOTED FOR EITHER OF THE TOP TWO TRACKS IN THEIR TOP TENS.
  • 3 TRACKS POLLED JUST ONE SOLITARY 10TH PLACE (HENCE) 1 POINT SCORE.
  • TWO TRACKS POLLED AN AVERAGE OF 10 POINTS - I.E. BOTH WERE VOTED AS FAVOURITE TRACKS BY JUST ONE PERSON
  • THE WINNING TRACK SCORED AN AVERAGE OF 7.5 OUT OF 10
  • THE MOST POPULAR TRACKS VOTED FOR WERE 'NON ALBUM' TRACKS (OR REMIXES) - WHICH ACCOUNTED FOR 44.2% OF ALL TRACKS VOTED FOR
  • THE MOST POPULAR ALBUM, BY TRACKS VOTED FOR, WAS DUBNOBASSWITHMYHEADMAN - WITH 17.3% (9 DIFFERENT TRACKS - THE ENTIRE ALBUM!!) OF THE TRACKS NOMINATED
  • AS A PERCENTAGE OF POINTS ACCRUED DUBNO POLLED 26.47% OF THE VOTES, NON ALBUM TRACKS ACCOUNTED FOR 27.16% OF THE POINTS SCORED - THE MOST, WITH SECOND TOUGHEST - THIRD, BEAUCOUP FISH - FOURTH AND AHDO FIFTH, A TRACK FROM EVERYTHING EVERYTHING WAS VOTED FOR BY ONE PERSON AND THUS COMES IN AS THE SIXTH MOST POPULAR ALBUM (IF WE INCLUDED 'NON ALBUM' TRACKS AS AN ALBUM)

THIS LIST IS BY NO MEANS DEFINITIVE OR CONCLUSIVE, BUT THIS IS HOW IT PANNED OUT THIS YEAR...LOTS OF PEOPLE DIDN'T VOTE, BUT THOSE OF YOU WHO DID - MANY, MANY THANKS, AND MAYBE THIS POLL WILL BECOME A REGULAR EVENT - ESPECIALLY AS I KNOW MY FAVOURITE UNDERWORLD TRACKS CHANGE AS I HEAR MORE IN THEM, AND FROM ONE MONTH TO THE NEXT.

SO, HERE WE GO, THE TOP TEN UNDERWORLD TRACKS FOR 2004, AS VOTED FOR BY FANS OF UNDERWORLD:

1. COWGIRL

2. JUANITA / KITELESS / TO DREAM OF LOVE - (MOST PEOPLE VOTED FOR JUANITA, AS 'JUANITA' RATHER THAN THE FULL TITLE)

5. CUPS

6. PEARL'S GIRL

7. DIRTY EPIC

8. JUMBO
