I broke down the results into 3 tables. Table 1 are the "statistically significant" results, where there were enough data points that I could be comfortable presenting them as the consensus of the group. Table 2 is the statistically insignifigant group, where I got so few responses that it couldn't be considered representative. Table 3 is just someone on this list (who owns more Hawkwind records than God), having his say on each of them. :-) This was the rating system used: 5 = What a great album, everybody should be required by law to own it 4 = It's really very good, I like most everything on it 3 = It has its ups and downs, but overall I like it 2 = It has some good points, but overall it's kind of weak 1 = I really don't like it much, it has few redeeming qualities 0 = Not worth the powder to blow it to hell. Final note: a parethesized number in the "Total" column indicates that a "0" was factored in. There is no 0's column on the table because so few albums received a 0, and no album received more than one. Table 1.
