Jekyll & Hyde=official favorite of fans

[Michael]

Okay, maybe it's not THAT official, but I was looking at something on the Guide to Petra page at:

http://www.guidetopetra.com/FanRankings.html

As most of you already know at the Guide you can actually vote for your favorite Petra albums to love and hate. Everybody has five spots where they can rank their favorite CD and five more for their least-favorite. Nobody is forced to pick all ten; you could even pick only one favorite, or snipe at just one disliked CD (although what you vote is visible to the public, so don't embarrass yourself! hehe)

Anyway, the Fan Rankings page contains a lot of information, so I'll explain the top part. The "Fan Favorites" column totals all of the "this is my favorite" votes to come to a ranking of which Petra CDs are the most well-loved. The "Fan Dislikes" column does the same for the "I don't like these Petra CDs" votes. For the "Combined Total" column, I have taken the "Fan Favorites" votes and subtracted the "Fan Dislikes" votes, to come up with a list ranked by CDs that shows which CDs that more people like than hate. Notice that JAH has finally cracked its way into the top 5 on the Combined Totals column! That's quite an accomplishment, going up against CDs like "Beyond Belief" and "More Power To Ya" that have been near and dear to people for decades. Congrats, JAH! I can't wait to see if Petra Farewell manages a similar feat... I'm going to add it to my own favorites list one of these days, but part of that is nostalgia because I was fortunate enough to have gotten to go to the taping.
