10 - How Does It Feel?
214 points, 8 votes
https://youtu.be/ytWrF2xkUPA

Thought "200 Bars" would be higher!

It would have been but I've just noticed I somehow deleted it from my ballot when I was arranging the tracks in order.

Also thought How Does It Feel was a cert for Top 3

More people needed to vote to break some of these ties.

very disappointing.

uh I mean TOO HIGH

non-album versions vastly superior in both cases imo

7 - Shine A Light
228 points, 9 votes, 1 number one
https://youtu.be/mY8SyTsgSko

baffled at these results tbh

yeah me too

it's not that stuff I don't like is showing up or something (all these songs are good to varying degrees) just that I had no idea anyone would rate Shine a Light as number 1, for example. or that Feel So Good was some kind of standout track.

TBF, when LGM was first released "Shine A Light" (especially live) was the stand-out track for me.

I think "Medication" was my highest-ranked Spiritualized track. I think the original single (with the Peel of "Feel So Sad") is their best release.

6 - Big City

https://youtu.be/tMqpxHY2nFs

I think the original single (with the Peel of "Feel So Sad") is their best release.

I'd be inclined to name that as the peak too, that EP is so strong

man people really like Recurring, I would never have guessed. I know this was addressed somewhat upthread, but I'm still surprised.

5 - Take Me To The Other Side

https://youtu.be/SJ4_YLjfHRo

"Big City" was my #1, omg, what a transcendent jam

I'm surprised "Suicide" was so low!

What's left? "I Think I'm In Love", "Walkin' With Jesus", uhhhhh

yeah I have no idea

http://qc-ckb.s3.amazonaws.com/sp3_poll/04-revolution.jpg

4 -  Revolution

I thought revolution would be #1.

"Big City" is by far the best track on "Recurring ", but three number one votes? I definitely didn't see that coming.

3 -  I Think I’m In Love

https://youtu.be/KEXO15RX36Y

50 point jump. As I was compiling result I though ITIIL was going to win.

probably just dreamin

"Suicide" > "Revolution"

soooo what's left? Cop Shoot Cop? Walkin' With Jesus obviously.

Think I'm In Love one of those tracks where the studio version is incredible but they never really seemed to do it justice live for whatever reason

xp Transparent Radiation hasn't placed yet

Mary Anne was always one of my favorites. I don't think it placed. I should've voted.

https://youtu.be/B6M8Kdtm5Vs

haha waht

Thought that might have been the #1.

Has Walkin' With Jesus placed yet?

I dont get whats so special about this relatively faithful cover

I'm relieved it placed. I assumed Take Me To The Other Side would be higher, so thought it had missed out.

poor "Angel", it was in my top 5 I think

surprisingly strong showing for "2:35"

No other love for Billy Whizz/Blue 1 then?

Love the stoned vibe on that track (which, admittedly, is not a particularly unique vibe when it comes to Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized)

I was hoping that something from Sonic's first "Spectrum" solo album would place.

Wait - I'm the only person who voted for Smile???

My ballot:

1. Spiritualized - Shine a light
2, Spacemen 3 - Big City
3. Spacemen 3 - Take me to the other side
4. Spacemen 3 - I Love You
5. Spacemen 3 - Feel So Good
6. Spiritualized - Angel Sigh
7. Spectrum - How You Satisfy Me
8. Spacemen 3 - Come Down Easy
9. Spacemen 3 - Come Down Softly to my Soul
10. Spacemen 3 - Feel So Sad
11. Spacemen 3 Walking with Jesus
12. Spectrum - I Just Drifted Away
13. Spiritualized - I Want You
14. Spacemen 3 - Transparent Radiation
15. Spacemen 3 - Why Couldn't I see
16. Spacemen 3 - Feeling Just Fine (Head Full of Shit)
17. Spiritualized - If I were with her now
18. Spacemen 3 - When Tomorrow Hits
19. Spiritualized - Broken Heart
20. Spacemen 3 - Hypnotized

My rationale for putting Shine a Light number one is that it's...pretty great? The build up to the freak out in the end is very satisfying, the best Jason has ever pulled that approach off in his many attempts in Spiritualized.

My ballot of shame:

200 Bars

Medication
Lay Back in the Sun
Shine A Light
Suicide
Come Together
Electric Mainline
No God Only Religion
Revolution
