I had a blast doing this poll after taking a long break. I was supposed to do The B-52's but life got in the way of that one, so I handed it off.

Can't thank One Eye Open for the images. They made this poll!

Can't thank One Eye Open enough...

agreed, those were perfect

It was super fun doing these images, glad y’all liked them! I’ll post my ballot at some point when I get home later. Thanks for doing his Bee OK, obv had a great time digging through all this music over the last week

V glad novacane wound up so high, song just fuckin rips, no two ways about it

the only track from my ballot not to place was "nyc 73 - 78" which i am a little surprised to see not show up

Large chunks of my ballot didnt show up cuz y’all have terrible taste

I always thought of "Novacane" as a reaction/response/answer song to the Beastie's "Sabotage", same crushing hard-rock-with-a-backbeat vibe

The unkle remix of where it's at is absolute shite

Yup

(Fuck all y'all, Sea Change rules.)

Too bad "In a Cold Ass Fashion" is so obscure; it's a great patchwork of nonsense in the "Loser/Beercan" vein. Got a couple of my favorite non-sequitur lyrics: "And I'm trying not to look at Satan making love to a dishrag" and "Went to sleep, woke up in a coffin / Took out my eyeballs and put 'em in a condom."

thanks poll for finally getting me to listen to mutations my new favorite beck album

:)

likewise, stereopathetic soul manure is my next destination

oh lj listen to the twenty minute "gimme" if you haven't, i was kind of hoping it would place just for the opportunity

will hunt it down ty

btw alfred: "tropicalia" ends side one of mutations, at least on all official released versions of the lp. i was surprised too! ("diamond bollocks" and "runners dial zero" get their own 7-inch, which i thought was a nice touch)

I didn't expect my #2 "Outcome" to place but I did expect "He's a Mighty Good Leader" to show up somewhere.

"Hollow Log" seems like a good winner for One Foot In The Grave tho, even though I assumed "Asshole" was the consensus favorite.

extended 'gimme' sure is one long, strange trip

Regarding Sea Change, most of the album doesn't place among my favorites except for "End Of The Day" (which for some reason I thought was titled "Nothing That I Haven't Seen Before") -- again, I assumed this was the obvious consensus standout.
