- I'm probably going to regret this, but --
-
- In the interest of NetSanity, I'm volunteering to collect your
- favorite singles of 1992. The idea is that people will send
- them to me rather than posting a flood of context-less lists
- which will create the usual massive increase in bandwith along
- with a commensurate flood of postings from the usual suspects
- decrying the abuse of aforesaid bandwidth :-)
-
- Joseph Geigel already provides a similar service with his
- end of the year album poll; I thought it would be nice
- if there were a way to compile opinions on singles as well.
-
- What I'm asking is for everyone who cares to send me a list
- of your five favorite "singles" for the year 1992. I'm going
- to use a fairly liberal definition of single here -- the track
- need not have ever been released on a 7", 12", cassette or
- CD single to qualify -- tracks that have been promoted have
- been promoted as a featured track from the album (e.g
- as a so-called "emphasis cut" on an AOR record) are acceptable.
- I'd also like you to provide a little (emphasis on little)
- backround for your choices -- a list of cuts with a couple of
- sentences on the reasons for your choice would be nice.
- I'm also using a pretty liberal definition of 1992 -- singles
- from 1991 that you didn't hear until 1992 are OK as well.

-
- Send your list to marmoset@mondo.engin.umich.edu.
-
- I'll collect all responses sent to me in a single file (probably
- more, depending on the volume of responses) and post the results,
- unedited, but with an easy-to-kill subject line :-) to
- rec.music.misc sometime after January 15, 1993.
- Keep in mind I'm only human, so this date may be a
- little optimistic.
-
- And don't forget:
-
- *MAIL DON'T POST*MAIL DON'T POST*MAIL DON'T POST*MAIL DON'T POST*
-
- Lists that are posted rather than mailed will be *emphatically*
- ignored.
