Juanita is still the most popular track of choice by Underworld fans by number of votes cast... its good to see a couple of the new tracks denting the poll, especially
Beautiful Burnout, it will be interesting to see if the popularity of this track remains in a couple of years time...
i'll try and summarise this poll, rather than just give the results in one chunk if i have more time...
i hope they guys at UW have a chance to see these results and the comments, especially regarding live stuff, popular tracks and also who we want remixing the boys in the furtue as there are some interesting choices and comments made here
thanks to those who took time out to vote and also thanks to Underworld, and their team for the Music.... this was about you guys after all....
