Favorite Guided by Voices or Guided by Voices related song

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.

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
