You vote based on whether an album suits whatever fascist specifications you have for a genre? Why don't you just vote for the better album so we don't have albums winning that are inferior, but just happen to sound more like what you think *genre x* should sound like?

The whole point of rock'n'roll was the raw, simple energy that it brought to music. Elvis may have have been a great performer, but the songs he performed in the early days were simply watered down versions of better music played by artists who couldn't get on the radio due to their skin color.

Little Richard, Bo Diddley, & Chuck Berry >>>>>>>>> Elvis
