Welcome to the first of our occasional special guest polls - in this case awesomewells was caught not in possession of a paid account, and wanted to canvas the views of the assembled poptimists on the subject of ROCK.

But how to define rock? He naturally chose The Best Rock Album In The World...Ever, which surely by Trades Description science collects together only the finest examples of ROCK, which will be submitted to Any Good At All science.

How rock are poptimists? LET'S FIND OUT!


[Poll #769482]


NB this album came out in 1994 which is why it does not have LORDI et al. on it.

Rod Stewart was not a member of this otherwise undistinguished group. Rod or the Faces were recording in the same studio complex as PLJ, and got chatting. PLJ's singer couldn't get this song to work, and somehow Rod agreed to record a guide vocal, so he did one take. The band's actual singer still could do nothing with it, and they persuaded Rod to let them release his vocal, anonymously. The story didn't come out until it had been in the charts for some weeks, though it was surely obvious to everyone whose voice we were hearing.
