Results of all the polls will be submitted to UMG Japan + my personal survey cards + letter (hi-res audio, loudness wars in modern pop music,...)

 

And yes a second (and latest) poll about the 80s.

Tomorrow:
- 90s & 00s part 2
- 60s & 70s part 3

 

Jon & Vangelis "The Friends Of Mr Cairo" (1981)

 

Both Jon & Vangelis-albums must sound great on sacd

 

Another winning poll for the Rolling Stones?

 

Is UMG the only label that has access to SACD technology? Just wondering why these polls are limited to that music group's catalogue?

 

The Cure — The Top
The B-52s — Wild Planet

 

October - U2
Arc of a Diver - Steve Winwood
Night and Day - Joe Jackson
Sting - Dream of the Blue Turtles
Solitude Standing - Suzanne Vega
Last in Line - Dio

 

Sting on top of the list right now!

Please cast your votes for the second 80s poll.

 

Tattoo You.

 

yeh , Sting would be great , there were about 10 on this list i would like .

 

Nice ... except only 3 votes for Soft Cell?

 

Nice start. Keep on voting.

 

Steve Winwood "Arc Of A Diver" (1980)
John Hiatt "Bring The Family" (1987)
Robbie Robertson "Robbie Robertson" (1987)

 

I believe these polls are intended for Universal Music in Japan, to help give them input from fans on what they want from the next rounds of SHM-SACDs. Most of the other big labels have not looked interested in releasing any SACDs.

 

Indeed ...

Maybe we could do a MoFi-poll in the future

 

I'm a bit surprised by the lack of Abba albums in your survey especially as the band was more successful as an albums act than a single one.

For the 1970s, Arrival should be a definite inclusion in any survey while Super Trouper and The Visitors should feature in any 1980s poll.

 

up

 

What--no London Calling?!

 

The Clash = universal?

 

Here's the link: London Calling

Belongs to CBS / Sony Music.

Maybe blu-spec-sacd one day?

Let's hope sales are as expected (or better) for the shm-sacd's (for classic rock titles). If they seem to be very successful, Sony will be the first to start releasing pop/rock titles again I guess. But only if the sales are extremely good, I'm afraid.

 

Tattoo You
Non stop erotic cabaret
Juju

 

That's a great choice imo!

 

Closing date of the poll is getting nearer! Please cast your votes.

 

Very last chance to vote ....
