Tell Yo La Tengo to Fuck Off - (ILM artist poll #61). Voting open until Monday May 18, 2015

Electro-Pura is my least favorite of the classics. Meanwhile I like Summer Bunch. "Little Eyes" is my favorite YLT second song.

how do people rate fakebook? my favorite ylt album by far, but it seems to have not been mentioned anywhere except in the one post listing all their covers, and none of the originals from it have been mentioned anywhere either.

xp The Summer almost cracked my top 10 and their Flamin Groovies take was my top cover. one of my favorites of theirs.

fakebook is perfecto, probably their first great record.

not voting 'cause i stopped paying attention after i can heart the heart beating as one, but "can't forget" would have been top 2 or 3 for me, if not my #1.

Vote anyway.

For a long time, Facebook was my favorite YLT album, and it's probably still my #2.

they never recorded their version of "Love Power" from The Producers, right?

I wanna give a shoutout to the instrumental disc of Genius+Love, some great stuff on there - "Nutricia", "Enough", "Sunsquashed", etc.

I was late to Fakebook but it is great and I may vote for "Griselda"

agreed-'Nutricia' was one of my last cuts.

Gee I forgot I have to do my own ballot.

was really hoping to find Oneida's live cover of "The Room Got Heavy" they did back in maybe 07-08 at a show I saw in Boston. so great.

there is another great cover missing in the list upthread. yoko ono's "don't worry, kyoko (mommy's only looking for her hand in the snow" on "yo la tengo is murdering the classics".

Need to revisit the last few albums before I submit my ballot, I'm a casual YLT fan compared to most people here I'm sure but they have a lot of songs I love.

VHS: I'll get my list to you today. I have 25 images ready to go--I assume you'll need more than that (40?). It's pretty easy to get another 15 ready.

yeah, i can't do this. usta know the catalog really well, but... i threw it all away.

got my ballot in. top 10 or so was very easy to figure out but then the rest took forever to narrow down

I will send mine tomorrow

Ballot sent.

Just go on instinct dude. I didn't have time to relisten to stuff either.

Clem: I think 40 is a good number for now.

Voted!

Voted. I wish the covers portion could have been 10 spots instead of 5.

It's not too late to submit a ballot, is it?

No it isn't

Submitting today!

VHS, are you sending out confirmations?

I think so as I got a confirmation shortly after I submitted my ballot.

I didn't get a confirmation?

i can't really listen to this band but i wouldn't tell them to fuck off cuz they look like people who would buy records from me.

Yes, just a couple confirmations!

I'm extending the deadline to Wednesday, 12pm, eastern time.

good man

hooray

Just voted!

I'll send mine in soon, def including this in covers list:

How many ballots do we have so far, approximately?

around 17

...voted!

Thanks for the deadline extension.

I have my ballot but will not be able to send it until tonight, thanks

No rush sleeve :)

There will be a surge of votes for "Ohm" after last night.

Why so?

Going back and listening to this band deeply for the first time in over a decade, what's really struck me is Ira Kaplan is pretty much a guitar God.

(xpost) Mad Men...in the last scene, Don Draper invents electricity.

Also because Ohm is an incredible song

Fade is one of my favorites post-2000, I had 2 tracks make my top 25. Actually, when people say post-2000 I don't know if that means they dislike And Then Nothing, or the stuff after.

In my case, it's the stuff after.

among the early albums i probly favor May I Sing with Me

may i ask when the roll-out is going to take place?

I was targeting Wednesday 27th
