sratisfying results at last.
― Zeno, Saturday, 6 October 2007 00:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Results like this make me question my typical deference for the ILM crowd.
― christoff, Monday, 8 October 2007 14:26 (sixteen years ago) link
You pollsters and your faith in "results." So what? I voted for Mother Whale Eyeless.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 8 October 2007 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Too late to change my vote now. "Mother Whale Eyeless" and "Taking Tiger Mountain" both deserve far more than 4 votes.
― Tom D., Tuesday, 9 October 2007 08:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Other favorites now that the results are in are obv. "Burning Airlines" but also "China My China" and "Great Pretender." What a great album.

props to everyone that voted 'fat lady of limbourg'!!
― poortheatre, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 07:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I agree with the top 2, but "Mother Whale Eyeless" should have been higher.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
if u think "cyndi tells me" is the best in "warm jets" you will love "tiger mountain" more - cause it's a little poppier and lighter,like "cyndi" is.
This is true in my case.

"Taking Tiger Mountain" – 5:33 3 votes
somedays (like today) i like it more than "the true wheel"

wow, Sabbath Vol. 4, Pisces Iscariot, now this...ILM has been all about my favourite albums lately..
Was gonna post some predictable shit about how MWE deserved more votes but the True Wheel def. was the winner, but that seems to be consensus around here, so...
True Wheel sounds like Kyuss to me.

aww @ no votes for "put a straw under baby"
― Charlie Slothrop (wins), Sunday, 28 July 2013 20:13 (ten years ago) link
I mean I wouldn't have voted for it as the best track either but I do really like it
― Charlie Slothrop (wins), Sunday, 28 July 2013 20:14 (ten years ago) link

I'm a sucker for any song that says "This is the sound that they heard" before a big melody. See also Genesis "Lurker"
― flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 28 July 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
Lol I meant Third Uncle and I was talking about the tone if the lead guitar, tho listening to it again perhaps the first QOTSA album mught be more appropriate as a comparison point
Xp to La Lechera
― chicken (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 28 July 2013 20:32 (ten years ago) link
This is another album where I p much love every song

Ding ding!We are the 801.
(I've listened to this song probably 12x today?)

ILM got this one right fer sure. Eno's best song? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― kornrulez6969, Sunday, 28 July 2013 21:58 (ten years ago) link
Holy crap I haven't listened to this in at least a decade (I can tell because I've never imported it to iTunes...)
― Spot Lange (Jon Lewis), Sunday, 28 July 2013 22:29 (ten years ago) link
can't believe mother whale eyeless only got 4 votes
― fervently nice (Treeship), Sunday, 28 July 2013 23:26 (ten years ago) link
that might be my favorite eno song.
the second half of this song is so addictive, such an amazing maelstrom drawing me in. third uncle is almost as good. just a little more free-flowing. and the tune isn't quite as strong. one of his best albums, that's for sure. haven't listened to it for ages as well. why the hell? life is too short to listen to rubbish.

I listened to "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More" this morning and it was indeed great

i listened to "the true wheel" as i walked out of the house to go to work on this sunny fall day and it felt like my personal theme song

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

was just thinking about this album yesterday because i was super feeling the lyrics to "mother whale eyeless" his pop songs have more replay value for me than, say, the apollo soundtrack
