Nice results. I thought The Modern Dance would make the top ten for sure based on the individual lists, but can't complain with it being on top of the wild card standings. It's crazy how low Teenage Kicks was in the last poll!

My unpopular opinion for the month for 1977 is that Frankie Teardrop is the worst song on Suicide's s/t, which I otherwise love. The song is kind of a mess structurally and the extreme volume changes can make it physically difficult to listen to and breaks up the consistent vibe of the other tracks.
