The non-SK side-poll has led me to hastily conclude that Carrie slays choruses while Corin's songwriting is strongest in the verses.

I'm not a Who fan but whatever else the Face Dances singles aren't leaden. The weak link at this point is Daltery, who sings like the guy Bryan Ferry is making fun of in "Love is the Drug."

There's this thread: TS: Roger Daltrey vs. Corin Tucker

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 01:01 (ten years ago) link

and Bryan Ferry wrote a song Roger Daltery covered too!

Ferry could do a nice job on "One More Hour".

This is hard. Can I just say I vote for Carrie sings lead songs?

My musical friends, let me urge you to give a last minute listen to the mother of all SK side projects, Cadallaca. Particularly their debut album, Introducing. That is a phenomenal record that has held up remarkably well. If you are unfamiliar, you are in for a musical treat.

kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 16:19 (ten years ago) link

YES. I didn't vote in the side projects poll because Cadallaca is really the only one I know and love, but that album is great.

From the comments:

I was at that concert, but I didn't get to see Sleater Kinney because my friends were getting wasted in the parking lot.

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:22 (ten years ago) link

Sent in my very bizarre ballot. My great shame as a S-K fan is that I never grabbed a $10 Call the Doctor LP during my heyday with the band and have only just now started to dig into what I think most people consider one of their top couple records. Can't wait for results - thanks again to C. Grisso!

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:49 (ten years ago) link

In One More Hour, I close this poll...

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:00 (ten years ago) link

Have had The Day I Went Away in my head all day, maybe should've found room for it, oh well

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:41 (ten years ago) link

I can't check stuff right away, so if anybody needs til midnight Portlandia time (2 hours from now), polls will remain open til then.

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 05:03 (ten years ago) link

sweet. I got totally preoccupied with something else and forgot this until about 3 minutes ago.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 05:17 (ten years ago) link

Polls are closed. Words, guitar, milkshakes'n'honey to come.

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 07:01 (ten years ago) link

Alright, I've got the sidepolls finished, and am now getting started on breaking the master tracks spreadsheet down into a ranked list. I'm not sure how long that list will be. I'll get a new thread going once I've got that settled.

Thanks again to everyone that voted! It's been exciting to see the ballots come in, as from the outset it's been a pretty tight race, and--to mix metaphors--by the end it became quite the figurative shoot-out.

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link

woo

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link

Have the main poll rankings worked out. We will have a Top 50. Stand by for results thread launch with the sidepolls.

If for no other reason, I'm anxious to see what the title pun will be!
