http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Animated-Flag-Ohio.gif

am i the only one who voted for "drag days"?

11 It's Like Soul, Man

I voted for this too. Sad it didn't make the countdown.

Also, very sad my #1 didn't make the countdown (only one of two that didn't). Gonna play it again for y'all in the event I didn't evangelize hard enough about it the first time...

I voted for Drag Days!

ah you did! high five! that song is unreal.

72 Drag Days 5 84

no one voted for "ester's day" :(

johnny did you post a full list?

Tbf, I wish I could have voted for a lot of things.

no one else voted 'heavy metal country'??

20 was a low number.

Hey who voted for "Demons Are Real"?

Again, full list link: http://home.earthlink.net/~pauletc/gbv.htm

It's mentioned before, but I'm really shocked that we seem to live in a world in which only four people, including myself, voted for 'Awful Bliss'.

^^ OTM. you people have no hearts!

I dunno man. It's like the 15th-best song on Bee Thousand. sorry.

no way

Who else voted for We've Got Airplanes?

the idea that you can "get wet" on it is what intrigues/disturbs me most about it

― queen latifah approximately (donna rouge)

That Tractor Rape Chain lyric might have to do with crying. 'Paper Girl' has a lyric that goes "don't cry too much you'll get all wet"

mine (which in retrospect, largely makes little sense, but i kinda rushed it):

1. my valuable hunting knife (alien lanes version) (40)
2. gold star for robot boy (36)
3. heavy metal country (33)
4. my impression now (30)
5. do the earth (28)
6. exit flagger (26)
7. your name is wild (25)
8. shocker in gloomtown (24)
9. game of pricks (23)
10. dayton, ohio, 19 something and 5 (22)
11. drinker's peace (21)
12. quality of armor (20)
13. watch me jumpstart (19)
14. hardcore ufo's (18)
15. i am a scientist (17)
16. dusted (16)
17. postal blowfish (15)
18. choking tara (mag earwhig! version) (14)
19. perhaps now the vultures (13)
20. unleashed! the large hearted boy (12)

my highest not to chart was 'a big fan of the pigpen' i can see why it wouldn't be popular but it is a permanent ear worm for me. "to think on one's feet, defeat on one's brain/the popular mechanics are at it again". then later, "BABADABADABADABADA"

haha
i thought it was
"to feed on one's brain"

give me time to LIGHT a sentimentaltorchtonight

hmm, other places have it as "Oh, to speak on one's feet, To beat on one's brain". so.. who knows.

Honestly thought Goldheart Mountaintop (my #1) had a chance of coming in first. Guess I (slightly) overestimated the love for that song. Can't argue with this outcome though. Would've liked to see Pop Zeus place... Super glad to see I'm not the only one who voted for Tight Globes, Make Use, He's the Uncle. Thx Johnny!

I voted for Tight Globes. High 5.

Sorry I didn't vote in this, would have place Johnny Appleseed pretty high alongside Motor Away, Smothered in Hugs, Chicken Blows, Always Crush Me

I looooove Pop Zeus. Have long wondered if it's "electric noose, paper boy" or "electric newspaper boy" and I like it equally both ways.

Thanks, Johnny! And hats off to the fellow "Second Spurt Of Growth" voter--my favorite discovery from the past few weeks of GBV exploration.

comments and whinges: very happy to see brides have hit glass in there. my favourite song from my #3 GbV album, gets me every time

echos myron seems WAYYY too low imo. smothered too but i would say that as it was my #1 (hi captain)

where the heck is pendulum?!?

game of pricks and hunting knife the two most overrated tracks in their catalogue but maybe i just felt that way after years of overexposure to these tracks

where the heck is pendulum?!?
At the bottom of my ballot, but it was on there!
