VOICE YOUR CHOICE!
It's that time of year again: it's your turn, readers, to suss out the yin and yang of 1977 and reward (or punish!) their tireless efforts to part a fool and his money!
The rules are easy enough for a rock critic to understand: First, fill in the blanks at right. Second, stuff it (the ballot, that is), and mail it to: CREEM Readers' Poll, P.O. Box P-1064, Birmingham, MI 48012. Don't be a chump and mail it after DECEMBER 15, 1977, or YOUR VOTE WON'T COUNT!
Note: all records have to have been released between January 1, 1977 and December 15, 1977. Don't disqualify your ballot by voting for albums that were released in 1976.
Also: when we say Most Valuable Player, we mean individual instrumentalists who have made massive contributions to bands they're in, or session people whoVe contributed heavily to albums by others. (Last year's winner was Jimmy Page.)
Don't be shy: Voice Your, Choice!
