1984 ROCK 'N' ROLL READERS POLL BALLOT
FEATURES
H'ep! Hey, gang, it's us wacky CREEM editors imploring you not to vote in this year's poll! Why? Because every one of these things that you send in, somebody has to count! And guess who that is? Us, you moes! And we'll hate you so much for making us work so hard, we'll make a special point of never featuring your fave acts! Ha-ha-ha! That'll show you! So what if we go out of business? At least we've made our stand!
However, if you insist on making us despise you, please make a point of marking your ballot carefully and filling in every category. A word of explanation: when you see best 'black' record or anything else, we're using 'black' in the same generic sense that, say, Billboard uses for its music charts. Which means, basically, dance music. Yeah, we don't get it either.
Fill in this ballot and send it to:
CREEM READERS POLL P.O. BOX P-1064 BIRMINGHAM, Ml 48012
Please be forewarned that we must receive your ballot no later than Nov. 30, 1984. Ballots that arrive afterwards will be laughed at, scorned and used to write stupid captions with by the lazy editors. Vote for records released only in 1984, too, dopes! And your fave humans have to be living, too—though votes for members of Motley Crue will also be acceptable. We guess.
VOTE! Or else we'll shave your head for kicks!
