Very cool idea for a poll. I've got to say, the late 70s and most of the designs from the last 25 years (save for a few), just don't do much for me at all. Perhaps on their own, they'd be fine, but in comparison to those beautiful sets of the 50s, they really fail. But different strokes for different folks and all that. From 83 to 87 though, I really like those designs. It's like they finally got out of that plain jane rut, and decided to take some bolder design chances. And while 91 is probably the height of junk wax, when you take that out of the equation and just look at the design for what it is, I think it's a handsome set.
