Only a few thousand people saw the Go-Betweens, but all of them voted on NameThatBridge.com

Well from a purely name POV 'Go-betweens Bridge' isn't that great of a name. But this is Brisbane and so I can assure you those 81% have voted no because they've read the article about "an australian 80's indie band" they've never heard of. After voting no each of those 81% then said "they shoulda named it the Acca Dacca bridge!"

Nice to see that you ranked "I’m All Right" so highly, Alfred. I've always loved that one. "Clouds" as well.

knew I met the right person for me when early on I found out three of her favorite bands were the Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout, and the Go-Betweens.

three months pass...
I'm interested in opinions. I've had a Go-Betweens poll in the artist poll queue for some time and feel I should poll solo/side-projects as well when the time comes. Firstly, can I assume there's likely to be sufficient interest in such material to sustain a separate side-poll?
There are actually slightly more commercially-available solo/side-project tracks (at least 200) than Go-Betweens tracks. More than enough to warrant it, in theory. I'm inclined to poll "everything else" separately, as I fear that the main attraction would crowd out solo material on a consolidated ballot.
Combining all the LPs for the album ballot seems less problematic, perhaps even ideal, if one is allowed to select up to, say, 10 albums.
Any thoughts appreciated...
