The 2008 AP Readers Poll
Welcome to the 2008 AP Readers Poll -- your chance to weigh in on the past year's best and worst in music, movies and life in general! A few things before you get started:1. You don't have to answer every question, but we love it when you do.
2. Please check your spelling, especially with band/album names -- it makes counting your votes way easier in the end.
3. Remember to vote for your "Hometown Hero," the unsigned band from your town/scene that you think are poised to blow up in 2009. We'll be devoting a special section to these bands in AP 247, which goes on sale everywhere Jan. 6, 2009.
4. We really want your opinion, that's why there's a box after every question labeled "Tell us why!" -- feel free to explain why you picked what you picked, and you might just end up getting quoted in the Readers Poll results in AP 247!
ATTN. BANDS/STREET TEAMS/OTHERWISE OPPORTUNISTIC FOLKS: We're not stupid -- we know when you spam our ballot box, and doing that is an easy way to get yourself taken right out of the running. You're more than welcome to post the link to this survey around the internet, but if you explicitly encourage people to vote solely for you, you'll get the boot. Kapeesh?
All right, enough guidelines, let's get on with it!
