Oh, hey, did you want specific pieces? :P

The King's Singers - Six
Miranda Sex Garden - Madra
Mediaeval Baebes - Mirabilis
Philip Glass - Solo Piano
 
holy poll batman

are you sure there is not a better way to do this

actually are you sure you need a poll
 
I love Holts Planets, and Beethovens Moonlight Sonata is absolutely gorgeous, but ever since the Reduced Shakspeare Company did quite possibly the funniest song ever to the tune of Waltz of the Flowers, its gotta be my favourite.
 
In no particular order
Khachaturian - Toccata
Papillons - Schumann
Debussy - Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum
Chopin - Waltz in C Sharp Minor
Chopin - Etude Op. 10 No. 5/ Black Key Etude
Mozart - Turkish March
 
Umm, yeah, I've gotta say, surely there's a better way of doing things than a massive poll containing every nominee. With so many options, you're spreading the votes reeeeeally thin. Also, if people haven't heard half the pieces, they're not likely to go and listen to them all before voting... likely they'll just drop their vote into one of the things they nominated.

I'd suggest dividing the list into a number of far smaller groups and having a number of polls or something. Not sure how exactly, but smaller groups really seems to be a better approach to me.
