I am not defining any terms whatsoever.  It is up to every respondent 
to the poll to decide on definitions and genre restrictions as they 
see fit.  Your list can consist of the Beatles' PAST MASTERS VOLUME 
TWO followed by 19 speed metal albums, I don't care.  Let it all in 
and the wisdom of the crowd will sort it out.
