These prizes of mine generally ironize with the various film festivals where, in addition to the first prize, there is always a jury prize, and then there are endless accessory prizes. Sometimes I have also added special prizes. In this case I stopped at the two most classic awards: - that of criticism is often given to the most sophisticated, experimental or cultured art-work (sometimes, but not always, it is also the most incomprehensible and boring one, and depending on the case either goes down in history or goes into oblivion. Sometimes it should have won but being very distant from the people's tastes they rewarded it in this way)  - The prize of the he public is the prize for the most pleasant opera, which does not always mean that the art-work is simple (but it is easily understood), sometimes it is beautiful but it is not rewarded for reasons of jealousy, or prejudice about the artist, or because it was considered too... popular or traditional. In this case, the public's prize I would have given it to the Springsteen song, but having proposed it myself ...

Sorry for the late vote 

And thanks also for the vote for my choice (a not surprising pick to those who know me well) and to the others who voted for it, and any positive comments regarding it.  I think all of these deserve votes and are winners in my book.  Each of these songs says something about the person, and that in itself is a wonderful thing -- that we are sharing this music that is significant to each of us. It feels like a little doorway into each person in a way to me.  How we relate to music is such an intensely personal thing I find, and while everyone's experience of music is different, we can relate to those experiences and create a shared experience in these topics.  That is part of what is special to me about these polls (it's interactive and interpersonal in its way).
