The people who took our poll realllllly do not like Kanye. But they love Billy Joel?
Last week I made a poll asking BuzzFeed readers a very simple question:

I mostly did it out of curiosity, and made all the answers into "sucks" or "rules" binaries because I figured it'd be more interesting to push everyone to make a clear choice. Obviously most people have more nuanced opinions about subjective things like this, but that's not really the point here.
As of this writing, the post has been viewed 210,000 times, and by the looks of it, a bit less than half of the people who looked at the post voted in at least one of the polls in the post. This accounts for a pretty small sampling of BuzzFeed's overall audience.
Some polls were voted in more than others, probably depending on whether people had an actual opinion on the artist and if they just got bored of the post midway through and bailed. BuzzFeed's polls count one vote per browser, but not IP address. If someone clears their cookies, opens an "incognito" window or simply uses another device, they can cheat and vote again.
Let's start with what people loved the most. Justin Timberlake was easily the most beloved artist featured in the post.

This makes sense, given that JT is the best-selling artist of the past few years.
