Yeah I don't think polls are much more than a bit of a quick ego rub for the people who get named. Too often those lists are filled with the names of whoever released an album in the past year, or people who have done something memorable. I do take a little bit more from "top album charts" when they are voted for by the general public. They sometimes give hints to albums I might have missed or new bands I might not have heard about but voting for actual people is as much a popularity contest as it is anything else. Although in saying that I do wonder how Rick Allen won that popularity contest, sure people can't still be that sympathetic to his one arm playing.
