the SINGLES OST poll

the westerberg tracks on this are great. i only became a replacements fan a few years back, so never gave these tracks their due back in the day. hmmm, it really is a solid and consistently strong soundtrack.

drown.
for the "i wish i wish i could fly etc.." part and the drums there

i like the westerberg songs, but for me he was already into his looking-for-a-next-act phase here, and he never really quite emerged from that. plus i always thought "dyslexic heart" was a pretty bad bit of lyrical imagery.

It is an awkward metaphor. It's probably the best solo song Westerberg did though.

Some may recall that before the movie, Pumpkins put out a single on the Sub Pop singles club. So there was a real connection with Seattle in addition to shared influences of classic rock and proto-metal.

"Drown" always struck me as a pleasant middle ground b/w the murky dream-pop of Gish and the bombast of what came later. I wish they'd explored that territory further, as I feel it really suited them. Oh well.. Drown gets my vote

Yes. Voted for this.

i remember reading about that...tristessa/la dolly vita, right?

Yes, on pink vinyl! That aforementioned RHCP/Pearl Jam/Pumpkins tour also featured Nirvana on some dates.

Anyone remember this first-person story Crowe wrote for Musician at the time?
Does this exist online anywhere? This sounds awesome.

strange that Screaming Trees never got more popular.

I remember the end of this more than the performance itself.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

omg that letterman clip is incredible

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

this sounds about right. nice hierarchy of vote allotment, but with a nice spread for all of the contenders (well, except for Heart. I can't even remember that track).

i like the cover so its a shame it didnt get a vote.

Paul Westerberg is the only thing I'd listen to here.

No Pumpkins or Screaming Trees for you Bimble?

i liked every song on this album.

i love the Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, and Mudhoney tracks, can't believe they go so few votes. i think i voted State of Love and Trust, but i can't remember. really i love every song on here except MLB and Heart. that Jimi track is the shit, too.

actually, the two tracks that didn't get a vote are possibly the ones that i've played least over the years. so, that's a decent reflection right there. otherwise, that soundgarden track is amazing, maybe i should have voted for it to prop it up a bit.

Although it was my pick, I'm surprised the Pumpkins snagged this; I thought the backlash would have taken it from them. Love 'Drown' though.
