Thanks so much Johnny Fever. There will always be a place for this poll in the Superior Sector Janitor X of my heart.

thank yo Johnny for this poll! it's been such fun to participate. well, the only thing that disappointed me was the placing of "Awful Bliss". I thought it's a kind of a consensus that it's a top Tobin?

Hey, I had a great time doing this. While the Pavement poll was a fun and uniting exercise, they've always been a band I just kind of like. GBV is a band I spent many years loving whole-heartedly. Now that the poll's done, I feel like I've sent a firstborn off to college or something.

the one bob solo song that immediately comes to mind for me as being up there with the best of the best is "get under it"

Are people really that unfamiliar with Uncle Dave or was it just not in the top20 running for you guys?

"Twilight Campfighter" was in my Top 20 (several xposts)
My favourite Bob solo track is "Psychic Pilot Clocks Out". Then "Girl Named Captain". Then "Subspace Biographies".

"Uncle Dave" has never been recompiled anywhere beyond a fan comp, so I think its understandable that most people haven't heard it.

I was the only vote for 'Lethargy'? Really? I didn't know that song was not that well-liked. I think they've played it at every show I've seen.

I voted for this too. Sad it didn't make the countdown.
Also, very sad my #1 didn't make the countdown (only one of two that didn't). Gonna play it again for y'all in the event I didn't evangelize hard enough about it the first time...
