The singer in the Denver SOR clip handles both Joey vocal parts with due aplomb, imho.

that 97 version mixes in the rock lobster riff underneath -- reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRIAA2bl1OI

I'd like to take a moment before presenting the Top 5 to point out that at one time or another each of these songs was #1, and it wasn't until the last ballots that anything was set.

Brilliant song. The Hot Rock was my favourite Sleater-Kinney album at first just because the first and last song are my two favourite songs of theirs.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:14 (twelve years ago)
I remember popping this into the CD player for the first time and saying, "OK, can you guys top Dig Me Out like I'm unfairly expected you to?" Was very pleased to immediately hear a resounding YES in the form of this song.

In every live show I saw they started with a long drum solo, guitar interlude, then launched into W&G.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:23 (twelve years ago)
if i had voted, and voted my conscience, this might have been my #1
― horseshoe, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:25 (twelve years ago)
I didn't vote in this, but would have gone for One More Hour, barely, over Dig Me Out. Those are the two tracks that have stuck with me the most over the years. Hope they both make it!

W&G so poppy yet so, so heavy.

"Dig Me Out" -- that killer no-nonsense riff saying "We're not messing around, plus hey let's introduce our new drummer..." BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOOM.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:53 (twelve years ago)
the roll in w&g at 1:17 before it kicks into the bridge, straight through "rock until you're good and dead"
so good
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:54 (twelve years ago)
does anyone else write songs like s/k? everything about their sound, their riffs, feels really distinct, like from a whole different place

A Real Man #1
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:00 (twelve years ago)
Catching up, "Words & Guitar" was my number one, just one of the most flat out fun rock songs ever put to tape.

Final show, final song. ;___;

Anyway, congratulations to #1, "Fortunate Son."
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:03 (twelve years ago)
I have a feeling what #1 will be but...no, it can't be.

Prisstina for the win. Was there ever any doubt?
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:06 (twelve years ago)
Surprised One More Hour isn't number one. It looks like I voted for all the top five. Not sure that's ever happened before.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:06 (twelve years ago)
Still room for "Buy Her Candy"!
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:06 (twelve years ago)

This won't apply to me. ;_;

Nice pic above for One More Hour. They both look great there.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:09 (twelve years ago)
We know what #1 will be so there's no suspense. I am surprised nothing from the first album especially Be Yr Mama placed.

its a great song but it feels so unrepresentative of s/k?
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:17 (twelve years ago)
Voted for it, but figured it wouldn't make it.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:19 (twelve years ago)
YES! my number one!

I feel like we did a poll a few years back and this was the favorite then too.
