   Of course there'll be duplicate albums.What good is a poll if none
 of the poll readers know anything about the responses? I'm sure there
 are trillions of us who have some esoteric tastes in artists who are
 only known within a two mile radius but is it worth discussing these
 artists with people who've never had the chance to hear them? One of 
 the most annoying (no flames!!) aspects of this net is the presence
 of discussions about under ground-artists who have only been heard by
 three of us.The rest just stare at the screen.
