Quantcast
In the end, the name Bud Scoppa just didn't have enough oomph to overcome the one-two punch of Miles Davis & John Coltrane in the Album Notes category.

OUR GRAMMY POLL WINNERS

You Can Stop Voting Now; Our Trained Monkeys Have Tabulated Your Votes
Please put down your pencils and pass your papers to the front. The HITS' Grammy Poll 2001 is officially over.

You frittered away precious moments in your busy days when, lord knows, you could have been napping or at least trolling for porn. And for that, we thank you. The response to our poll was the largest ever. It was also our first Internet poll ever, but you take what you can get.

Below you'll find a list of the winners as chosen by you, our faithful readers. The winners are listed first (and in bold-face, just in case you don't get the message), with the percentage of the vote in that category that went to the winner in parentheses.

The also-rans—like our very own Grammy nominee Bud Scoppa—are listed in descending order below each winner.

The Grammy Awards will be broadcast on CBS tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Only then will we all get to see just how brilliant (or dim) we really are.
