Aside from #1 & #3, I am 100% on board with these covers results!
I voted for:"Oklahoma USA" - Kinks"I Threw It All Away" - Dylan"Yellow Sarong" - The Scene Is Now"It's All Right The Way That You Live" - VU"Griselda" - Pete Stampfel
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 01:54 (eight years ago) link
Voted for You Can Have It All in the main tracks poll. Glad the Sandy Denny placed so high, it was my last cut on covers.

Didn't vote, but wow. I can't believe the "Speeding Motorcycle" cover couldn't crack the top 10.
Also, their cover of Blondie's "Dreaming" is superb.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 02:09 (eight years ago) link
They have so many great covers. I am surprising either Needle of Death and Be Thankful For What You've Got.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 02:13 (eight years ago) link
Dump's "Raspberry Beret" is excellent--almost put that on my regular ballot.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 02:20 (eight years ago) link
I didn't vote for it, but still surprised that May I Sing With Me placed lower than President YLT (though I guess there wasn't a tremendous point difference between the bottom 5 anyway). I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed Electr-o-pura while compiling my ballot. I always think of it as a lesser album, but then wanted to put a load of tracks from it on my ballot. I can't help but feel that ICHTHBAO is a little overrated, while ATNTIIO is comparatively underrated.
All of my picks ended up in the covers results so YAY!

Before I started working on my ballot, I would have thought the cover of "I Threw It All Away" would make my 5, but these jumped way ahead.

COVERS1. Be Thankful for What You Got2. Take Care3. Blitzkrieg Bop4. Somebody’s Baby5. Cast a Shadow
I find that "President Yo La Tengo" is their most solid album and seriously underrated. Almost every song on it is phantastic. There are other albums like "Electr-o-pura" which have higher highs but at the same time they also feature a couple of weaker songs. I seriously don't understand why "Be Thankful for What You Got" didn't place in the covers poll. By far their best cover, imo. And the EP "Little Honda" it is on is such a fun cover feast.

Painful had always been my favourite but I think Electr-O-Pura has just edged ahead since submitting my ballot. I was really surprised by it when re-listening to everything, it had never stuck in my mind as much as some of the others before.

― dronestreet, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 13:57 (eight years ago) link
Don't get me wrong, I voted it as my #4, but Painful suffers from the curse of the sound of those late 80s/early 90s BOSS digital guitar pedals. That record would have been so much better if they had played with vintage gear.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 15:44 (eight years ago) link
think i know what you mean, but man, i love the guitars on painful.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 15:48 (eight years ago) link
pretty psyched for this Fakebook sequel -- sample tracks sound amazing. schramm really is a wonderful guitarist.
I do too. I'm not hearing those pedals, or at least, nothing that sounds out-of-line with Kaplan's usual sound.
In fact, I'm not even sure which pedals those are, and the only digital stuff I saw them use in '94 were the DigiTech PDS delays (to astounding effect, I should add).

For what it's worth, the songs are not connected to the players, unless I hit upon something accidentally. They were matched according to length of song/album title and how much available space there was--Yo La Tengo sometimes have very long album titles. Every card is from the '70s.

"Madeline" in my top ten. So casual that it almost drifts away. I love the organ and lead guitar line.

Sorry I missed this poll, but what a nice invitation to listen to the old records again. I would have said 1) Electropura 2) Heart Beating as One 3) Nothing Turned itself etc.
Did anyone remark on the fact that on the list of songs on the back of Electro-Pura, the times are all messed up (deliberately, I'm sure): So that the 9 minute "Blue Line Swinger" is listed at being 3+? Pretty funny.
