Don't Let the Dayyys POLL By: Bush Singles

I wish Alex in NYC was still around... I'd love to hear him weigh in on Gavin and co.

I'm also right in the middle of Joe Carducci's Rock and the Pop Narcotic right now so I'm sure some of my vitriol toward this band is coming from having absorbed his ideas in that book (as much as I disagree with lots of it)...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

the first 7 songs are all good.

Ugh, I in fact let the days go by and have no idea if I voted or not.

:jn
redNHV

ack, computer mis-fire!

i like the weird ending of "glyserine"

Final bump before I, er, let the cables sleep. Just a few more hours to go on this one.

This thread and the fact that I heard "All Over You" not once but THREE times during a long drive last weekend has made me want to poll Live songs. I feel that such a poll must already exist but I can't find one. Now if you'd asked me last week what I though of Live I'd have given you the gas face but All Over You is an unexpected jam imo.

as hard as it would be to prove with the search function, i am reasonable sure we have never dedicated a thread to the band Live

I can't help but wonder if Stefani is sick of bankrolling this dude's career

I SEARCHED

FIND ME THE THREAD, AL

i said there isn't one! and that if there was it'd be impossible to find!

Oh wait - nm. Sorry!

there are definitely at least 20 threads derailed by discussions of "Lakini's Juice," however

BRAAA DANNGGG da dang

would be into a Live poll though, same kinda deal as this one. Everclear can't be far behind. The ILM 90s alt-rock crew takeover continues! (also, "Selling the Drama" was a name-that-tune trivia answer last night and so this has been on my mind a little)

Defend the Indefensible: Live (the band)

just searched "live the band"

::makes note to lakinipedia::

One of my friends gave me "16 Stone' for my birthday in college - it's the only time I've ever been openly pissed off about a birthday present. Mainly because a) he was kind of a dick anyway so he wouldn't take it badly and b) he knew my music tastes pretty well and I was furious that he thought I would like it, lol

forgot to explore the oeuvre, voted "comedown" since it was the one i most would enjoy hearing at the moment

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

admittedly there's not really RIGHT results for something like this but these are shockingly rong

23 people who voted are not nuts

haha not unexpected results

i personally didn't expect "Swallowed" to beat 4/5ths of the Sixteen Stone singles and a song i've never heard of to beat 2/5ths of them!

btw holy crap Razorblade Suitcase went 3x plat? i thought for sure it was a Fairweather Johnson but perhaps it's a New Jersey.

Letting the Cables Sleep 2
wtf is this

the third single from the album with "The Chemicals Between Us" on it, apparently.

would vote for almost anything over "Glycerine," including "Kiss The Rain"

as in billie myers?

I'll still halfheartedly rep for most of 16 Stone. If they had any songs with coherent lyrics it would be easier.

On the other hand, Jesus Christ wtf is this:

yes, it was based on desmond child's mondegreen of "glycerine"

Come, Togheter!

Thanks for voting, everybody.

Razorblade Suitcase somewhere between a Fairweather Johnson and a Be Here Now IMO. Might just be a Bad Album.

can't believe the only single anybody outside of the US has ever heard came 2nd

can't believe i didn't do the "more like fanny" one-liner

can't believe people didn't believe these were better than some pop crap

Glycerine is fucking awful, what the fuck fam

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so "Swallowed" is their international hit? what the hell

i know! you'd think one of the other massively different and distinguishable singles wd've set the world on fire

now i wish i had thrown a vote to inflatable

JUSTICE

Razorblade is definitely a fairweather johnson - sixteen went 6x platinum during a window from jan '95 to april '97, Razorblade went 3x platinum from Nov '96 to July '97. People were just in the Bush-purchasing mood, razorblade really never achieved a life of its own.

which is why the Razorblade singles getting a respectable 15 votes vs. Sixteen Stone's 22 votes surprised me

you forget we are people who know who steve albini is

america may not care, but future rock critics and nerds took note
