"I'm The Queen of Rock and POLL!!!!!!"_ILM Artist Poll #51_SLEATER-KINNEY_ RESULTS THREAD

Well, what can you really do to 'remaster' something from the last 15 or so years? I can see the need to spruce up the Chainsaw albums, as they probably didn't get the attention they needed at the time, and of course getting everything back out on vinyl should a big deal for people whom that would be a big deal.

one headphone listen to s/t and CTD flac and they sound so alive; and i noticed some tiny subtle little guitar parts that i hadn't noticed before. haven't delved into the rest yet

having fun listening and trying to suss differences haven't done any a/b yet. i don't have engineer ears by any means; using a nice nad amp and a pair of sony mdr-7506 phones. ctd tunes seem to have more "bite". definitely a better mix in my mind when checking closely. just now digging into DMO and i think Janet's sound (noticing the snare esp) has more midrange (maybe it's in my mind). but it's def. a improvement overall. subtle for sure and for fans listening very closely. i reckon as i go on differences will be less obvious but who the hell knows. curious to get to the woods and see if i am able to stand more volume. typically listen to that one on the quiet side since it's SO frikken loudly mastered on the original. the originals do sound "fine" but the best band of the 1990's/early lost decayed (decade) deserves special treatment, wot

Wrong about Call The Doctor http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/10/ranking-sleater-kinney-from-worst-to-best/full-post/

one beat is def my least fav

i saw that yesterday and it amused me how dramatically different their ranking was from ILM's

all of the albums are good with a slight decline circa All Hands on the Bad One and, perhaps, its predecessor, which has at least been overrated here, while One Beat and perhaps Call the Doctor are underrated.

Just digging in, but already seeing we differ from the Spin writers.

Didn't see that #1 coming, can't say the same about #2 ;-)

Ha, I was at that Echo Lounge show where they forgot how to play "Buy Her Candy." Didn't know it was on YouTube.

i wholeheartedly reject the judgment of any poll that puts "pompeii" in the BOTTOM FIVE of all s-k songs, below even "write me back fucker."

My mind is boggled that "Turn It On" is in the bottom half. >=(

Super happy to see "Sympathy" so high. Top 10 overall is pretty close to mine in a different order.

Yeah, my list is different than theirs but I'm glad to see "Sympathy" and "Leave You Behind" appreciated.

UPDATE: Shortly after this list was published, two new Sleater-Kinney songs were discovered to have been released as a bonus 12-inch single with the vinyl edition of No Cities to Love. The list has been since updated to include them.

"omg new songs, hurry figure out how they stack against songs you've known for 15 years" is some clickhole logic

Tipsy was that the Echo Lounge show Flin Flon opened?

Yep, with the Butchies too. Also saw them there the next year, with the Gossip opening.

the Butchies were such a great live band, saw them a few times.

They were. I bought a CD at that show because their set was so good. Recordings didn't live up to the show, but there were some good tunes.

WE NEED TO RE-RUN THIS POLL.

Yes! That's my favorite.

I rank'em all except the self-titled.

Carrie's part during the bridge of "Call the Doctor" is killing me right now.
