one of the biggest surprises for me was seeing how well this did. it's fine but not really a standout among their post-reunion work or anything?

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link

it's a clear standout! those strings! that choogling groove

the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:35 (three years ago) link

it does choogle btw, won't hear arguments against that!

the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:36 (three years ago) link

I voted for "Oriole," whether because Brad swayed me or of my own accord, I could't tell you right now.

17. The Afghan Whigs - My Enemy
186 points, 8 votes
from Black Love

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link

love the interplay between the guitars on this one, kinda post-punk

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link

"oriole" is amazing, dulli apparently dreamed the chord progression in the second half of the song

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link

Right

from Black Love

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link

Voted for almost all of Black Love, including those two.

AP Chemirocha (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:04 (three years ago) link

Didn't get around to a ballot in the end, but loving the rollout. Biggest revelation so far has been There's Been An Accident, which has taken the top of my head off three times today. Omerta fucking rules.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:05 (three years ago) link

didn't vote for blame, etc. but love the funhouse mirror motown thing it has going on

the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:11 (three years ago) link

in some ways this is the purest distillation of what made black love so great, everything's there

the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link

YESSS

from 1965

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:30 (three years ago) link

that's the last for now

i didn't really realise just how incredible it was until revisiting 1965 for this poll, those horns are fantastic

ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:32 (three years ago) link

i guess it's nothing but perfect songs from here on out

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:52 (three years ago) link

yup

I'll pop in and say a few words about a few numbers later

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:54 (three years ago) link

objectively i guess i can understand that a band might have 12 songs considered better than Fountain and Fairfax but… wow

lemmy incaution (emsworth), Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:57 (three years ago) link

Wondering how high the song I keep replaying in my head will place.

Lucky thirteen, it turns out

AP Chemirocha (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:03 (three years ago) link

Damn are no solo Dulli songs gonna make it at all? I thought one was a lock.

Will (kruezer2), Friday, 18 June 2021 02:18 (three years ago) link

with a slightly longer ballot I'd have thrown in "marry me"

"miles iz ded"/"into the floor" from the reunion tour was sure something

also kind of wild to close your reunion tour with a new song
