Showdown at the Garden

There's an online poll going on now about the greatest show ever at Madison Square Garden, divided by decades. For the about-to-end '00s, 24 million votes have been tallied so far and Christina Aguilera in the lead forwith 45.7 percent of the votes(!), Seeing as I'm relatively certain her contingency is stuffing the virtual ballot box -- I think MSG only hold 20 million -- you might want to make your voice heard HERE.

More interesting to me (big surprise) is the 1980s poll.

With more than 6 million votes were tallied, Whitney Houston has a commanding lead. But Michael was at Madonna's 1985 Virgin Tour stop at MSG and assures me it was the Garden's finest party to date. (And I know her Cobo Arena show in Detroit was.)

Here's the top 10:

1. Whitney Houston 48.9%
2. Culture Club 25.8%
3. Michael Jackson, 16.2%
4. Luciano Pavarotti, 5.0%
5. Phil Collins, 1.8%
6. Neil Diamond, 0.70%
7. Madonna, 0.53%
8. Duran Duran, 0.23%
9. Peter Gabriel, 0.22%
10. Bon Jovi, 0.21%
