Vote 4Richey (another stupid NME poll)

http://www.nme.com/rate/mostmissed/14/last/14/rate/

just to show these pricks that not including any stuff about him in that "special" issue was a big mistake.

thanks to Greggy for showing me this poll.

Ooops, sorry deets. I do miss Richey a lot, but there are few others on that list that I miss more. As a result, don't think I'm gonna vote. Cheers for the link though!

Btw, I can't believe people seem to miss Kurt Cobain more than Lennon or Ian Curtis over Harrison (mind you, Curtis died all too young so maybe that's why he's getting the votes. Musically however, Harrison - and of course, Barrett - was far better and I'm someone who has always adored Curtis).
These votes must be reflective of a generational gap, I suppose.

Already got my ten votes in, but I love Sid Vicious just as much.

But, I love Richey's lyrics too much.

These NME polls tend to turn out all odd - with the bassists poll, Nicky got an average of 3 or so! There are too many fantastic musicians here to choose from, luckily they allow continued on voting for all of them instead of having to pick just one - that would be impossible for me!

mmm... We all miss him and we don't need to give our vote to a fucking poll made for this pricks to prove it.

I do not know. Their polls always turn out odd. I do not trust them.

The only good the thing was the picture of Richey that appears there. Did you all notice the SONIC pin. WOOOW THAT IS SOO LOVELY

I hate NME polls, they're silly and no-one really gives a toss who wins as it's obvious who will win. That said I've voted for Richey seeing as I did write them a letter about their obvious mistake.

He's number 5 by the way. We may be able to influence it.

Ok, who's been voting non-stop for Richey? How the heck did he go from like 17 to 5 in the span of a couple of hours?

Oooh, Strummer's in the lead!

The NME are trying to mess with our heads. He'll probably disappear off the list completely in a minute. TYPICAL RICHEY.
