the ex-GF who had the Cliff beach towel's favorite song is French Disko, she approves
her 2nd favorite is JO

I was hoping French Disko could win but it's still a good result. The top 20 is just about perfect.
Great poll. Thanks for running it Moka.

Jenny is this huge monolithic drone beast, and yet so sumptuous and comforting. Gives me chills every time I simply think about that opening blast of guitars.

I didn't realise "French Disko" hadn't placed until a few minutes ago. Gawd. I'm not sure I entirely appreciated it until I saw that clip from The Word with the dancing audience very recently. It suddenly made sense.

Great poll Moka. Thanks!
I was another Number 1 voter for John Cage Bubblegum - I think its just the greatest few minutes of drone-tastic Groop grooving.
L'Enfer Des Forms was robbed! That has always been a personal favourite but I'm actually really surprised Parsec didn't place really high as well.

Yeah, very nice work Moka. Compiling a ballot was always going to be excruciating, but it was very much worth it. Thanks a lot!

'One Small Step' and 'L'Enfer des formes' seconded. Seems a full half of my selections were outside the sixty, with a big cluster near 100:
Mellotron (That Silver Apples-ish rhythm, shared with 'Harmonium', is massively under-appreciated.)One Small StepSadisticKyberneticka Babicka (Third most popular post-Sound Dust track, it turns out.)People Do It All the TimeCadriopoAlluresL'Enfer des formesNothing to Do with MeFarfisa
― Maximum big surprise! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Friday, 8 April 2016 02:36 (eight years ago) link
I made my ballot before everyone so that I wouldn't cheat but after seeing the final table I almost wanted to rig the poll by voting for post-00s Stereolab so that it would have more representation in the poll. Interlock, Babicka... Whisper pitch if anyone had voted for it.

Margerine Eclipse songs! Need to be, cosmic country noir
I listened to Marge a couple of times in recent days. 'Cosmic Country Noir' could've have displaced something else from my ballot I think, in a different week. I wish I liked the music of 'Feel and Triple' as much. A hybrid containing the latter's lyrics would probably make me weep pretty reliably.

Amazing poll Moka, thanks!
Biggest surprise: Pack Yr Romantic Mind at #4 with five #1's.
There are a lot of great songs in the top ten ... and somehow I didn't vote for any of them except for "John Cage Bubblegum". I don't have a sensible reason for leaving JO off my ballot, I guess it was because I'd already voted for two songs from that album and wanted to spread my votes around more. I'm also a big fan of live 'Lab, I saw them live a few times, collected a lot of live recordings, "ABC Music", etc. and JO was never a regular part of their live set. You can't hold that against the studio version but it made JO less "visible" to me over the years.
I've always been a bit meh on "French Disko", yeah the clip from the Word is brilliant and captures the song in all its droney/pogo essence, but "John Cage Bubblegum" and "The Seeming and the Meaning" do the exact same thing but way way better.

Just before going to sleep last night, I lay in the dark and listened to the entirety of Refried Ectoplasm really flippin' loud. That's so so so their best album. And as much space as as my growed-up, 21st century brain-self can clear for their later, more sophisticated experiments & inclinations, I don't think they ever surpassed (or even matched) their early genius for tone & propulsion. Every sound on that album is perfect, perfect not only in isolation, but in synthesis with every other. French fucking Disko.
― Keks + Nuss (contenderizer), Friday, 8 April 2016 12:24 (eight years ago) link
I played ETC loudly today on the way into work, now I have realised my "Fiery Yellow" vote should have been for "Anonymous Collective", because that is the track I meant.
I saw the top 100, I guess it wouldn't have made much difference anyway. FY at 75, AC at 68..
Also, how many Stereolab track titles have anything to do with the lyrics? I was beginning to think it was "International Colouring Competition" only, but up came "des etoiles electroniques" and the title is right there in the song!
