"crazy" is the first thing from my ballot to place, contains both the perfect guitar tone and my favorite whigs lyric ever:
so what's gonna happen to you now?therapythe pharmacy

when i saw them in ~2018 i dont think they played anything from 1965. shame really.

beautiful song, voted for it. the only afghan whigs song that reminds me of the wrens.
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:07 (four years ago)
actually one of the new live songs the wrens did a while back was a dead ringer for a dulli number
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:09 (four years ago)
i was the no. 1 vote btw :D
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:10 (four years ago)
there's a lot of whigs songs that remind me of the wrens actually, they have a similar sort of soar to them. "crime scene part one" for instance has a pretty similar vibe as an opener as "happy". which was the new live wrens song that sounded like dulli?

this is just like a fairly average alt-rock song without much of the charm of their later stuff and of course a straight up terrible lyric dulli should be ashamed of
― ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:13 (four years ago)
hmm looks like "lost in the woods" is officially way too low
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:13 (four years ago)
honestly love the groove of "r*******"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 21:15 (four years ago)
and the opening line
way worse song than "lost in the woods" though

another that's way too low, fantastic shimmering pop moment
the one weakness is lack of a strong bridge but they make up for that live by throwing "little red corvette" in there

the first time the reunited whigs performed on… was it jimmy fallon? they played this song and the performance was so staggering that it was like hearing it anew. been one of my all-time faves ever since
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 22:17 (four years ago)
the weird time signature is cool, it's like back and forth between bars of 3/4 & 7/8 or something?

“Step into the Light” was one of the few I reluctantly cut from Black Love to make room for other stuff.

step into the light got a number 1 vote, nice. i love their ballads
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 22:43 (four years ago)
if i woulda ordered my ballot i woulda had into the floor in my top 5. the song is in a constant state of falling forward.

the studio version of this is alright but obviously when they turn it into an 8 minute epic live is the real deal
― ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 22:53 (four years ago)
eh the studio cut has its own magic too, v gorgeous gentle ballad, appropriate it placed next to "step into the light"

here's a great live version
― ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 22:58 (four years ago)
the studio version has a similar low-boil magic to "set the ray to jerry" imo
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 22:58 (four years ago)
which was the new live wrens song that sounded like dulli?
I was thinking of "Get Out of this Hopeless Town" but "Well it's Right then it's Wrong" (both seen here) fits as well I think. There's some Dulli-esque intensity to "Boys You Won't" as well, so maybe it's Kevin-specific.
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:06 (four years ago)
"boys you won't" even has the high "ooooh"s that are a dulli trademark
