I'd vote for "King" now. Tremendous song.

Judas My Heart is undoubtedly the highlight

Bummed to have missed this; love this album. I'd probably vote King or Red*, though I have soft spot in my heart for Li'l Ennio.

It actually pains me to think of all the songs that got goose-egged here

*I was just thinking about this album the other day, with all the Sublime revives: I was reminded that my favorite song off of their s/t was "Seed", even though it was probably a bit rapey, precisely because all the tempo changes in the song remind of Red and King (itself a little bit of a creepy song)

King isn't creepy, it's sexy!

I remember reading something about how people thought it was about pedophilia back in the day. And Tanya tried to provide an explanation of what it was about--something about a young prince and trying the light the ocean from underneath--that I remember thinking even back then that was on the incoherent side

That is surprising!!!

I don't think I voted in this but I probably would have voted "Now They'll Sleep" and I'm surprised nobody else did.

Tanya and Gail reunited! This is so lovely and heart-warming.

the whole of Belly's catalogue is on Spotify. This may seem unnecessary given that they have an eighteen track Best Of based on two LPs and a collection of b-sides, but said Best Of is missing two of their greatest songs, namely the b-sides "Diamond Ribcage" and "Baby's Arm."

Wish I could track down a good rip of that live version of Judas My Heart - the clear vinyl of Seal My Fate sounds terrible.

ACUTELY
I HEARD IT
