Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I thought Schrag's Adam was mediocre but basically inoffensive when I read it, but the premise seems stupider the more I think about it for some of the reasons that Tom Leger's pointed out (http://leger.tumblr.com/post/97990510907/on-truth-pizza-and-adam-by-ariel-schrag), and I'd be ambivalent about most of Hanna's work after Bikini Kill even if she hadn't played Michfest twice (about which Imogen Binnie's written here: http://www.keepyourbridgesburning.com/2013/09/we-see-through-you-18/), and "Losing My Edge" is a jam, so "Gil! Scott! Heron!" gets my vote, even if Scott-Heron's "The Subject Was Faggots" will never not make me grit my teeth.

(That last post sort willfully misread the thread prompt, but the vote stands.)

Actually, I want to apologize for those last couple of posts, Stevie--the causes of my ambivalence are real, but there wasn't really any point in reminding people of that GSH track in a lighthearted thread like this.
