(FOR ONCE) CREEM DRAWS A BLANK
Now you can get it all off your chest. Once again, it's time for the annual CREEM Reader's Poll for 1976. We want you to tell us and them who you love, who you hate, and who you feel ambivalent towards or whatever. The rules are as simple as ever. First, fill in the blanks at right. Second, stuff the ballot in an envelope and mail it to: CREEM Reader's Poll, P.O. Box P-1064, Birmingham, Mich.

(FOR ONCE) CREEM DRAWS A BLANK
Now you can get it all off your chest. Once again, it's time for the annual CREEM Reader's Poll for 1976. We want you to tell us and them who you love, who you hate, and who you feel ambivalent towards or whatever.
The rules are as simple as ever. First, fill in the blanks at right. Second, stuff the ballot in an envelope and mail it to: CREEM Reader's Poll, P.O. Box P-1064, Birmingham, Mich. 48012. The only catch is: you have to do all this BY DECEMBER 15, 1976 or else IT AIN'T GONNA COUNT!
The requirements are also simple. All albums have to have been released between January 1, 1976 and December 15, 1976. (The albums do not have to have been made by Ugandan synthesizer groups.) So don't blow your big chance by including something that came out in '75.
Also: to clarify once again what we mean by Most Valuable Player, since it seems to confuse people, the term refers to individual instrumentalists who have made large-scale contributions to the bands they're in, or session people who've contributed measurably to albums by others.
Happy hunting!
