I was asking more in the “Morning Bell” vs “Morning Bell/Amnesiac” sense that they sound unique enough to my ears that they could be considered separate. I wouldn’t put both on my ballot.
That being said, “Do You Love Me? (Part 2)” > “Do You Love Me?”

My provisional Bad Seeds ballot is not something I would predicted. Turns out I really like a bunch of relatively low-key tracks I previously struggled to conjure in my head from their titles. Plus Your Funeral -- I heart pretty much all of that, but I guess I already knew that much.

Of courtse to be totally topical as soon as you;ve reached any kind of consensus any voting needs to be overturned.NOt that anybody else's opinion is that relevant to my understanding of what I enjoy about him anyway.
& of course any other artist would have made things a lot easier to break down their career by changing the bandname with some kind of frequency over 3 decades. Blooming maverick ex-pat ex-public schoolboy ozzies, whatever next.

i pushed the songs i wanted to get more votes to the top of my ballot but in retrospect it may backfire w a 20 song ballotmy side project voting ended up being only boys next door & birthday party, i couldnt spare room for grinderman! it just totally paled for me up against all that cool old stuff

ALRIGHT FOLKS
after several weeks poking at it, I've broken down, ordered and ID3-tagged the Bad Seeds-era b-sides and side-appearances into an eleven-disc* virtual box set. Now to start listening properly, and then on to the albums!

* if actually pressing this, we could save money by putting "Scum & Pricks '84-86" and "Dirty Sings '88" onto one disc. But I've also made a disc each of live B-sides, alternate takes, and 7" versions, that I shan't be considering for the poll.

Scum is an entertaining song, but so irredeemably & unjustifiably vicious toward Snow and Gambotto that I couldn't commend it
― huge rant (sic), Saturday, 12 December 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link
I voted for "Scum". I can almost pretend it's Mark E Smith singing, with that kind of subject matter and delivery-uh.

So, I think we’re down to the last day or so for voting. I’ll be loose with it if it means more ballots.
Please keep ‘em coming!

I'll dawdle as long as we can, for one.

Really digging “Nocturama” this time around- Warren Ellis is particularly has a great showcase through it. Back 3 tracks are probably not that great but doesn’t seem any worse than some of the material on AB/TLoO.
