much prefer harvey's version of 'highway 61' to the original (which i've always found annoying and grating despite the awesome lyrics).

jimi at number one was necessary and never in doubt but I don't regret giving my top points to Ferry's take on "gates of eden" which is no one's idea of a hit single but as a cover it's perfect. exposes new things that were always there.

OK, here's where I had to make Controversial Poll-runner Decision #1: Most people (including me) voted for Vols. 1-3 as a single unit, because that's how it was released and generally presented. I know that the discs are also available separately, or at least have been. But clearly most people think of this as one album, not three. So that's how I counted it. For the few people who voted for multiple volumes of it in different slots, I awarded the points based on your highest placing of any of the volumes, and then moved up any of your lower votes to compensate for the gaps in your ballot. Feel free to second-guess me, but this is how it shook out.
