Poll The People

[R.]

This is a fresh, rather interesting approach to the ever popular polls that are trying to find the greatest whatsoever on all time. Instead of boring you even more with my blathering, let me just quote what I have found in my inbox today.

We have recently helped launched a website to invite the public to vote for their Top 5 albums (films and books) in an evolving poll to find the Greatest Albums etc of all time – www.pollthepeople.com . The site was borne out of frustration at the number of TV and press polls based on very little research or the opinions of a few journalists. So now we want to give the people a chance to have their say and vote for their favourite albums (films and books) to create a truly definitive global poll. The site was founded by Glenn Cooper previously the Head of Digital @ Island Records UK for 6 years who left his role to focus on this venture with his wife Kirsty Cooper who has over 10 years music marketing and PR experience.

Please could you put a news story up on your Site and Forum to let Meat Loaf fans know about the site so they can vote and have their say? We have had over 3,700 people sign up and vote in the first month from over 100 different countries and we are already working on a TV show format and a “Poll The People top rated” retail sticker initiative. In addition we have had features in The Times and The Guardian as well as trade press so we have had a great start. The early visitors to the site have been very pop biased and it’s important to us that we reach out to fans of all great artists / bands so the poll becomes truly definitive.

Check it out, go to www.pollthepeople.com and cast your votes.

Excellent idea! I'm still thinking out my nominations before I vote.
