Favorite Guided by Voices or Guided by Voices related song

haha this is epic

Man, I'm just going to vote for the last one I heard.

Nice! You deserve some sort of prize for this.

i think i'll vote Over The Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox just because it's 2 songs rather than 1

I voted for Pendulum. Bad album, great great song.

Vegas just installed Over The Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox as the favorite to win this.

oy.

but i will vote for "my impression now" and i will feel sad for the following runners-up: "non-absorbing," "quality of armor," "14 cheerleader coldfront," "kicker of elves," "pimple zoo" and 30 or 40 others i'm forgetting at the moment.

Vegas just installed Over The Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox as the favorite to win this.

my oddsmaker has "official ironmen rally song" as the clear favorite, especially if the ILM pop hivemind actually clicks on this.

i almost voted for Wormhole

i kind of wish i did now

i voted for "gold star for robot boy" - runner's up: "buzzards and dreadful crows", "official ironman rally song", "glad girls", "a salty salute", "subspace biographies"

I settled on "Official Iron Man Song" since it was the first GbV song I absolutely fell in love with.

if we wait

Smothered in Hugs... such a creepy song.

I vote game of pricks.

"This is the part that rocks ... " FAR OUT CROPS!
So many and yes so many with a special place in my heart (good choices Matt) - but for the shear camp of anytime of seen it live ... FAR OUT CROPS!

Hey - I found an interesting GBV blog - http://popzeuscomic.blogspot.com/

crocker's favorite song. but really, they're all good.

dodging invisible rays

there is still so much GbV I need to hear. I will probably end up voting for "Game of Pricks" or "Echos Myron" or something similarly boring and obvious.

neither of those songs are boring!

yeah but they're the poppiest songs from the most popular albums etc. etc.

Echos Myron was my first favorite gbv song. Maybe Shocker in Gloomtown. Maybe Weedking. Maybe Big School. Maybe Subspace Biographies.

Watch me Jumpstart or Ha Ha Man.

Alone, Stinking and Unafraid.

This is like the top ten albums question. Is it really possible? "Motor Away."

there should probably be a separate best tobin sprout gbv song poll. not that i really want more polls...

i was just thinking there should be a sprout poll. we don't want to upset pollard, tho

Haha, how convenient that I have exactly ONE (1) GBV song saved on my hard drive!

"Watch Me Jumpstart" it is.

Hey - I found an interesting GBV blog - http://popzeuscomic.blogspot.com/

there's also my impression now, a gbv song-by-song blog.

Psychic premonition:

<i> And the winner with 2 votes is "Motor Away" </i>

"Watch Me Jumpstart" got me into GBV so I had to vote for that.

Runners up:

Gold Star for Robot Boy
Motor Away
Game of Pricks
Teenage FBI
Chasing Heather Crazy

how do we account for the 73 songs pollard will write, record and release between now and the time the poll closes?

No contest: "Auditorium"

Glad Girls -- but I was really torn between that and Motor Away.

and we're finally here
and shit yeah it's cool

I'm having voters remorse. I wish I cast my ballot for Back To Saturn X Radio Report

don't forget the "weed king"!

Gold star for "Gold Star for Robot Boy"

I voted Indian Fables, my favorite of the little transitional short(er) songs.

Jill Hives.
Too obvious?

I am a Tree
my fave guitar hook of all the GBV I know.
and that intro!
this was the first GBV song I fell in love with (yes I know it was 1997, whatever) and it's still my favorite.

"my valuable hunting knife"

Hot Freaks!

"A Portrait Destroyed by Fire"

It will be a shame when it's revealed which song(s) receive(s) more than one vote.

I have decided.

shit. i want to change my vote to 'peephole'. "i'm looking inside your mind, and christ its a cluttered mess / i love you i must confess" makes me swoon every time.

The Best Of Jill Hives

I voted for "Lord of Overstock". But it could just have easily been Motor Away or Burning Flag Birthday Suit.

mine: Tractor Rape Chain. i could easily listen to that song over and over again and never get sick of it.

runners-up:
Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory
Game of Pricks
The Best of Jill Hives

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I can't make it through, so "Blimps Go 90" will have to suffice.

I will add that I listened to Do the Collapse all the way through a few days ago, and found it immensely satisfying. I love GBV.

Blimps Go 90 is classic as.

totally hits my Geir-spot

MC, you bastard! Make me even feel guiltier for voting for Motor Away! I know it's a crap choice, there's so much *better* (read more original choices) pics but I was too lazy to go through the whole list.

"Tractor Rape Chain"

Nathalie--I like Motor Away. My point was that there are a) too many tracks and b) too many worthy tracks that the vote splitting in this poll must be immense.

BTW: I voted for "I Am Produced"

Hello? Tobin Sprout was in this band too y'know. That being said, I voted "Little Whirl" aka if "Twist & Shout" and "Left Of The Dial" were combined and performed by Big Star through a tape recorder.

Just that list of songtitles was entertaining, though my guess is one out of 20 songs is good. I'd say "Teenage FBI" but only the new wave version, so I went with "Motor Away."

I ended up voting for "Jill Hives", but if I had known so many other people would do the same I'd've gone with "A Good Flying Bird" (tell me someone will still vote for this plz)

"my impression now" for me (if only to ensure that it receives at least one vote)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

About 80 votes cast... for 1600 songs. 1600! 1600!!1!!!1!111 Someone do a recount 'cause that figure seems insane.

Anyway a worthy winner. WORTHY BUT DULL. (Confession: I voted for it.)

it's a shame no one voted for Top Chick Silver Chord. in those napster & winamp days, it was my favorite of a handful of GBV i downloaded--the first time i heard them.

wtf I voted for Buzzards and Dreadful Crows?!
Polls are weak.
Listened to Side A of Beeth this morning.

yeah I thought I voted for Underwater Explosions. guess not.

I made a big 'to-do' about voting for 'Far-Out Crops' ... and there it sits with zero votes. Goodbye faith in ILM polls.

hm thought i voted for If We Wait ...

And after the early discussion I was the only one that ended up voting for "Official Ironman"?

My vote wasn't counted; whehnh!

I'm the only one who voted for 'The Who vs Porky the Pig?'

I couldn't decide between "My Valuable Hunting Knife", "Game Of Pricks", "Redmen And Their Wives", "Don't Stop Now", Smothered In Hugs", "Motor Away", "Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory", "Chicken Blows", "Over The Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox", "Circus World", "Always Crush Me", "Secret Star", "Beat Your Wings", "Heavy Metal Country", "She Saw The Shadow", "Subspace Biographies", "People Are Leaving" "Release The Sunbird", "You Can't Hold Your Women", and "Alone, Stinking and Unafraid".

So I didn't vote.

how loft i am?

and yet apparently i forgot to vote for it! definitely one of my top ten gbv songs.

I like the one that sounds like Lou Rawls.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdj9jHY95cY

i think i voted for united.

Listening to the best-of again, I should have given a vote to "Drinker's Peace," one of the loveliest alcohol-as-love metaphors ever...

Not one vote for A Crick Uphill?? great song

i feel like this poll can and deserves to be done better.

lol
POLLSTAL BLOWFISH - ILM Artist Poll #8 - Guided By Voices - ReSuLtS!!!

How the fuck did you get more than 50 options on this thing?

I think there wasn't a max of 50 options back in 2007.

maybe this is what led to the cap ;)

can't believe I missed that poll. if you aren't 100% into ilm there is almost no point; it is frustrating.

we should deinstate the cap

Wow, I have NO recollection of starting this poll. Entering all those options must have been a traumatic experience.

I wish I could forget past events as easily as you

Everyone should hear this piano peel session of Wondering Boy Poet.

this one

new album out in feb too

his most recent solo album, Blazing Gentlemen, was pretty great. some nifty power-pop gems on there.

same deal with Honey Locust Honkey Tonk, another good one from last year. uncle bob is the greg maddux of rock & roll
