"People get ready, strip down your houses because it's the FALL TRACKS BALLOT ROLL- OUT!" - PART TWO The Tracks (Pre-wray)

yeah, i placed it second on my albums ballot. it's the album that took me the longest to get into though. i had the cassette originally, and all those tracks were just *too much* to take in.

i'd forgotten the love for no bulbs.

so nice that every track from that album got a vote there. I was the lone vote there for "Stephen Song", which just barely missed my ballot here (yet I put "No Bulbs" on this time, go figure).

and like dlp the US PVC LP version of this is what I fell in love with initially, the cassette came later.

argh "this" being Wonderful & Frightening" etc., g'night.

Yeah, I got W&Fetc on cassette, and No Bulbs is um in the middle I think.

10. Garden Points: 257 Votes: 10 Number Ones: 2

You know, I post one, with a nice pic of tangential relevance, we have a bit of a chat about it, and 30 mins later I post another one.

Ha! Was literally just now listening to that song. Which version's better? They both are. I SWEAR

9. New Puritan Points: 271 Votes: 9 Number Ones: 3

Was also listening to this one earlier. Introduced my wife to it and Garden in excited anticipation. She declared that she was starting to think that 'The Fall are geniuses'. Where Garden is paranoid incantation, this is declamatory steamroller.

8. Hip Priest Points: 275 Votes: 11 Number Ones: 1

(unless Paintwork does, although I'm now banking on that being #7)

Kinda nice that they're all together in one glorious place though

oh wait, Winter

well, that'll be #6 :D

7. Paint Work Points: 332 Votes: 16 Number Ones: 0

Smith's psychic paranoia has rubbed off, clearly

I have listened to Paintwork too much.

6. Wings Points: 381 Votes: 13 Number Ones: 4

Leaving Hip Priest off my ballot was my biggest ballot regret

4. Winter Points: 404 Votes: 15 Number Ones: 2

Wings was my number 1, just an epic tale married to a driving rhythm. Was it the last of his song-stories?

surprised by several of these. my favorite fall tracks are not those of others.

i didn't vote for Wings or Leave The Capitol. I had Winter high up though.

1. Totally Wired Points: 513 Votes: 21 Number Ones: 0

i can't be mad at any Fall song i don't think but still, smdh

While collating the results, I would (obviously) sort on the votes, descending, and The Classical was away in front by about half-way through.

Then other tracks started catching up, almost inpereptively, until the very last ballot, at which point "Totally Wired" sneaked in by one point, and I was like "Whoa?"

Yes, it's nobody's favorite (apart from Brix), but it did get the most individual votes.

So, hey.

Interesting that it was the only track with a clear (though still fairly slender) majority of folks voting for it.

Only real surprise in top 10 for me: had no idea "New Puritan" was so popular!

Thanks for your work, Mark!

btw, the tiger bloke = Mike Leigh
