ILM achieves a first in opinions-not-having-about-beloved-album SHOCKAH

nvm it's wurlitzer jukebox

I always thought Stereolab had a little YMG in them. "N.I.T.A." could totally be a Stereolab song.

N.I.T.A. is apparently their most played on spotify!

wurlitzer jukebox is great i agree

I can totally hear “The Man Amplifier” or “Eating Noddemix” done inna MAQ krautrock stylee.

I have decided on "Eating Noddemix."

Close: "N.I.T.A.," "The Man Amplifier," "Wurlitzer Jukebox."

Extraordinary album.

timellison, Friday, 4 October 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link

Third place for me: "Credit in the Straight World," "Colossal Youth," "Choci Loni"

Fourth place: "Include Me Out," "Constantly Changing"

Tough call between N.I.T.A and Wurlitzer Jukebox for me. N.I.T.A was the song that got me into them, but I've watched this footage of them doing Wurlitzer Jukebox so many times.

Perfect album. Perfect band.

Spironolactone T. Agnew (rushomancy), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 00:41 (four years ago) link

That’s the spirit!

(I don’t remember what I voted for either)

Una Palooka Dronka (hardcore dilettante), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 01:05 (four years ago) link

"Constantly Changing" - aptly titled as I could have voted for any of 11 or 12 tracks.

Let them eat Pfifferlinge an Schneckensauce (Tom D.), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 07:05 (four years ago) link

Always loved salad days, one of the best riffs definitely

plax (ico), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 07:46 (four years ago) link

Could have voted for almost anything otherwise

plax (ico), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 07:46 (four years ago) link

"Constantly Changing" - aptly titled as I could have voted for any of 11 or 12 tracks.

Yeah, me too

Yeah, I keep coming back to this poll, trying to choose, and I just can't. It needs all the parts to make the whole.

Just stuck my finger into the dartboard and voted

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

Leaning "N.I.T.A.", but I could go with just about anything. This is the best album ever.

jmm, Thursday, 10 October 2019 00:13 (four years ago) link

Choci Loni and Include Me Out deserved better

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Thursday, 10 October 2019 02:51 (four years ago) link

Wow, much more support for WJ than I had anticipated. Nice turnout too!
