You're getting trounced here, Wolt. Revenge is sweet.

I'm not sure that "it's not awful" is a real endorsement. I mean, what higher compliment could a musician receive?

"So, what'd you think of our song?"
"It's not awful."
"Fantastic!"

I'm sure on some death metal, breastfeeding, or fly fishing message board out there Chico has posted some hitchhiking story where BS comes on the radio. And when I find it EVERYONE will change their votes to Absolute Garbage. :shifty:

Wolter's bad poll construction didn't leave many options for anyone who doesn't love it but likes it.

Anything that debases that song is worthy of praise.

1. I'm not getting trounced. I voted "it's not bad." The point of this poll was to prove very few people would say its the best.

2. This poll was perfectly constructed for the only 4 valid emotions I can imagine for this song: obsessive love, mild acceptance, mild distaste, and seething rage.

Of the four options, those who love it are currently in third place. Now that's dominance.
