I've had an idea for new poll-based japes on Poptimists (and possibly beyond) but before I try it out I would like to ask you a few quick questions, if you have the time...please answer via comments if you do.

1) Which album do you think you've listened to the most this decade?
2) What was your favourite album of all time ten years ago? (Just pick an album you liked a lot back then if not a clear favourite)
3) How often will you listen to a complete album in one go these days?
4) In your opinion what is the most POP album of all time (you don't have to explain why but I would prefer it if we do not include compilations, greatest hits etc. in answering this thanks)

I don't know -- when you're doing this "pick only one" stuff, you always second guess what message you send, aside from whatever criteria you have. I love music too much to be quite so cynical as to say, "MJ turned into a spectacle, so in a sense he really IS the perfect pop star" (plus I probably only heard the non-singles from Thriller once, maybe). Janet, on the other hand, somehow never managed to sustain a profile that matched those sales figures. I think people will always go "Really?" if they looked back at how many albums she sold, or top ten hits, or whatever.
