Oooh too hard. I've got a few days to decide between:
- Out of Space
- No Good (Start the Dance)
- Voodoo People

Tim F, Thursday, 13 September 2007 03:19 (eighteen years ago)

For some reason "No Good (Start the Dance)" strikes me as being one of the best titles for a song ever.

Tim F, Thursday, 13 September 2007 03:20 (eighteen years ago)

it's a toss b/w "no good" and SMBU for me.

tricky, Thursday, 13 September 2007 03:26 (eighteen years ago)

out of space, but this is an amazing list of singles

jabba hands, Thursday, 13 September 2007 03:41 (eighteen years ago)

Smack My Bitch Up - just for the "controversy".

SeekAltRoute, Thursday, 13 September 2007 03:45 (eighteen years ago)

this is an amazing list of singles <--- otm

HI DERE, Thursday, 13 September 2007 04:42 (eighteen years ago)

I got to admit I've not heard anything after 1996, but up until then it's def. amazing. Still hard to top the stuff that eventually became Experience (in one form or another) though.

Alex in SF, Thursday, 13 September 2007 04:54 (eighteen years ago)

That remix of "Wind It Up" is kind of awful, though.

HI DERE, Thursday, 13 September 2007 05:35 (eighteen years ago)

I voted "Firestarter" and I don't care who knows it!

Davey D, Thursday, 13 September 2007 06:42 (eighteen years ago)

"Firestarter" is great, what is the problem?

Tim F, Thursday, 13 September 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

In fact surely "Breathe" is the cornier choice, if that is what we're referring to - although I like both about equally.

Tim F, Thursday, 13 September 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

'No Good (Start the Dance)' by a huuuuge margin. Whenever I put that song on, I end up listening to it on repeat at least 10 times.

sous les paves, Thursday, 13 September 2007 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

The person who says "I voted for 'Hotride' and I don't care who knows it!" is taking a much braver stance IMO (ps I do like the song, it's just... well, THAT'S your favorite single by them, compared to everything else??? wau).

HI DERE, Thursday, 13 September 2007 11:38 (eighteen years ago)

Alex In SF has never heard Firestarter or anything after??

blueski, Thursday, 13 September 2007 13:13 (eighteen years ago)

I think I want to change my vote to 'No Good (Start the Dance)' or 'Out of Space'

Tough poll.

onimo, Thursday, 13 September 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

I'm also liking 'Poison' more than I remember liking it at the time.

onimo, Thursday, 13 September 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't heard anything after 1996 either.

I think I might vote for Voodoo People.

Colonel Poo, Thursday, 13 September 2007 14:16 (eighteen years ago)

"Poison" is THE SHIT.

(I still voted for "One Love", tho)

HI DERE, Thursday, 13 September 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Other utterly corny opinion time: I wish I hadn't heard anything after (or including) 1996. (Girls is fun enough I guess.)

I wd vote for all these Jilted singles, and probably all the Experience ones. Choices! Probably it ought to be Out Of Space but that feels like too obvious a choice somehow.

a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 13 September 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

"Alex In SF has never heard Firestarter or anything after??"

Anything AFTER 1996!

Alex in SF, Thursday, 13 September 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

I thought that "Spitfire" and "Hotride" were really odd singles choices.

HI DERE, Thursday, 13 September 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

...though "Break and Enter" is better than any of their singles

Tuomas OTM. I'm going for Everybody In The Place (the fairground version that was the big hit, definitely NOT the album version).

Nasty, Brutish & Short, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

Was it really from 91? I know Charly was, but I remember EITP as being early 92.

Nasty, Brutish & Short, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

EITP was released in December '91 in the UK but there was the original version (different to the one everyone knows) earlier that year also.

I thought that "Spitfire" and "Hotride" were really odd singles choices.

'The Way It Is' and 'You Will Be Under My Wheels' are the best tracks on the album but dunno if they would've worked better as singles. glad the Liam G one wasn't put out at least.

blueski, Thursday, 13 September 2007 16:18 (eighteen years ago)

another vote for "poison"

drone/a/sore, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

out of space

and what, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:49 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Friday, 14 September 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

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

ILX System, Saturday, 15 September 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

I'm partial to Everybody in the Place........basssssssss.

Belisarius, Sunday, 16 September 2007 01:18 (eighteen years ago)

WAIT I VOTED FOR ONE LOVE, WTF

HI DERE, Sunday, 16 September 2007 04:20 (eighteen years ago)

Bit sad that no-one voted for What Evil Lurks - yes Out Of Space is better but Android is easily their second best track people!

Siegbran, Sunday, 16 September 2007 11:44 (eighteen years ago)

justice has been served

strongohulkington, Sunday, 16 September 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

"Spitfire" should have gotten more votes, the entirety of of "Always Outnumbered" is massively underrated

J0hn D., Sunday, 16 September 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

not really

The Good Dr. Bill, Sunday, 16 September 2007 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

YA RLY

HI DERE, Sunday, 16 September 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

no love for g-force pt. 1, what the FUCK

sirwalterj, Monday, 17 September 2007 12:22 (eighteen years ago)

unless the 6 people who voted for EITP took that into consideration.

blueski, Monday, 17 September 2007 12:30 (eighteen years ago)

I voted for Everybody in the Place, thanks to the excellent b-sides. I love Poison's b-sides too, so that's a close second.

Duane Barry, Monday, 17 September 2007 13:00 (eighteen years ago)

three months pass...

The video for Charly is awesome sort of proto paperrodddeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7xdFUwAVY

I pretty much hate Music for the Jilted Generation on... but I like Girls ;O

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

I wish someone would release a dance album as seemingly underground and nasty as Music For A Jilted Generation. Somehow when I was about 14 and it came out, it sounded so volatile, scarey even but in a good way.

the next grozart, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

jon, the video is based on the government warning cartoon of the track's namesake which was always shown on Sunday morning children's TV from the 70s up until about the time the track started getting famous.

the next grozart, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

ONE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
ONE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

HI DERE, Sunday, 6 January 2008 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

one love is too simple; I'm bored like 30 seconds in.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

Have we done a HACKERS ost poll?

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

Voodoo People >>>>>>> One Love

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

Didn't see this, but "Out Of Space" winning ahead of "Out Of Time" seems just about right.

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

Hmm. Ahead of "Breathe", I mean (where'd I get that "Out Of Time" from?)

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

One Love is banging, especially the crazy didgeridoo-sounding bit.

chap, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

"One Love" has their greatest ever video. And that's it.

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:54 (eighteen years ago)

Charley Says... public information animations for kids

No paperradesque ravey neon flashes and frenetic cut-ups or anything, but I did just cry laughing at the teapot incident. I don't remember them being this funny as a kid. So much for maturity.

a passing spacecadet, Monday, 7 January 2008 09:36 (eighteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

One love is kinda crap.

Anyway, anyone know what the origin of the "meow" in Charley is?

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

haha, ok I just watched the videos and realized that the CAT is charley and it all makes sense

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

Jon:

Missed this one, I've no idea what I would've voted for. Maybe Everybody in the Place.

chap, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

three years pass...

I've realized, one of the reasons I love "One Love" so much is that metallic thump on beats 4 and 1

I'd repoll this with the Invaders Must Die singles but let's face it, no one is voting for any of them (even though "Omen", "Warrior's Dance" and "Take Me To The Hospital" are all great)

CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 22:59 (fourteen years ago)

one year passes...

finally ripped all of my Prodigy shit and put it on my phone

tempted to poll b-sides but I'm pretty sure "Your Love" would stomp all over everything

relentless technosexuality (DJP), Friday, 12 April 2013 14:36 (thirteen years ago)

eleven years pass...

Seemed an appropriate thread to bump just to note the oddness of seemingly all versions of 'Wind It Up' having been removed from Spotify including its listing on all Experience editions where it's not even just an unplayable track in faint text but completely gone from the tracklist.

nashwan, Tuesday, 1 October 2024 10:56 (one year ago)

very weird, especially since "your love" still starts with a "wind it up" vocal sample. spotify's "experience" is also missing "hyperspeed" and "charly"
