The championship was a back and forth contest with a total of 138 votes being cast. People who evidently REALLY wanted one side or the other to win kept voting over and over to ensure their rightful champion came out the victor. For a while it seemed that Back Chat would make it out my a smidgen, but someone helped Under Pressure to roar back and win 75-63. I wish these kinds of polls wouldn't work like that, but there's not much I can do to stop it. If I paid the website money, I could have it track where all the votes are coming from, but I don't care that much, so that's how it is.

Anyway, these are the final rankings. Not entirely what I had expected. I think The Real Wizard put it real well:

Nothing says "shitty album" like Back Chat being the second most popular track.

Go drum machine go !

I think I want to listen to Queen II now.

I think I just might give Q2 a spin myself. For the 200th time in less than three years.

I'll continue doing this in a bit. Jazz will probably be up next.

Thanks for helping!

My predictions for Jazz:

1 DSMN (26)
2 FBG (61)

3 BR (75)
4 LMEY (78)
5 LHAE (84)
6 DOT (85)

7 DB (91)
8 IOSD (93)
9 J (95)
10 M (98)

11 IYCBT (108)
12 FI (120)
13 MOTJ (134)

That took me a little while to read.

But I like More of That Jazz :(

Thanks for doing these. Its pretty fun and interresting. Keep doing it and maybe when you are finished make a document or so with all the final polls. Yeah im too lazy to make one myself :-)

... too many Roger "haters" out there 13 years ago ...

I am not to crazy about MoTJ, but I am unusual in that I like FI, so I am only a slight Roger "hater".

I'm the reverse.

I have fun making them!

I voted once.

I'm glad Under Pressure won

I am glad as well. It would have been a farce if Chicago style ballot box stuffing would taken a below average Queen song and deposed the rightful champion (a top 20 Queen song as well).

Predictable enough that Under Pressure should win - rightfully so, in my opinion. Jazz should be interesting, actually one of my favourite Queen albums, despite some mediocre tracks.

We all know that DSMN is already the obvious winner from Jazz.

I love pretty much all of Jazz. More of That Jazz, Fun It and Dreamer's Ball and If You Can't Beat Them are my least favourite tracks, but I don't think those are bad at all!

Not so fast...

I could see Let Me Entertain You, Fat Bottomed Girls or even Dreamer's Ball giving it competition.

Its like the beginning of the internet all over again...

Well, my prediction was not so far off, but I was still surprised with all the hate for Life is Real. I was really expecting that to come in the top three.

Oh well. I like Back Chat.

As for the next one, I guess you're doing these in the least popular album order.

If Jazz is next, I guess the Works will come afterwards. Either way, I cant wait for the results for ANATO and Queen II. I think you should re-do the poll for Queen though, since it was pretty badly flawed.

Sorry for the lack of good punctuation, I'm using a French keyboard, and I have no idea how to put quotes or question marks.
