I did a spot check here, and by points (ie 3,2,1) Rock Art gets 26%, Global 31% and Streetcore 43%. For such a small survey, I don't see the album or song results as significant - but that might be the statistician in me. However, what I do see as significant is the breadth of choice shown. I'd gladly take any dozen off of the list above and be happy with the diversity of the compilation.msza2 wrote:with tepista, Marky Dread, and matedog's votes...

True. The Royal Statistical Society would find fault with the methodology . But I do think it's fun to see certain songs rise and fall. Anyway here we are with a couple more votes.dave202 wrote:msza2 wrote:with tepista, Marky Dread, and matedog's votes...
