but you must choose

― josh az (2011nostalgia), Saturday, 2 November 2019 01:59 (five years ago)

personally i'm stuck between anew day, to cry about, dear darling, you will be loved again and oh my god it really is impossible to choose

― josh az (2011nostalgia), Saturday, 2 November 2019 02:00 (five years ago)

best album this horrible town ever produced? impossible to pick

― Simon H., Saturday, 2 November 2019 02:06 (five years ago)

impossible

― american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 2 November 2019 02:18 (five years ago)

― Tim F, Saturday, 2 November 2019 04:17 (five years ago)

I know she's worked on a bunch of other stuff, done soundtrack work etc, but I still count this as one of the greatest one-and-dones ever.

― Simon H., Saturday, 2 November 2019 04:31 (five years ago)

Not sure if obvious but Body for me

― Master of Treacle, Saturday, 2 November 2019 04:51 (five years ago)

Body's in Trouble

― The World According To.... (Michael B), Saturday, 2 November 2019 08:56 (five years ago)

Saw the subject and thought "literally impossible to choose" so glad to see that being echoed above. :)

VOID POLL

― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 2 November 2019 11:45 (five years ago)

probably Not Be Alright or The Year in Song but my easily favourite song of hers is I Don't Care.

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 2 November 2019 12:36 (five years ago)

What’s the title of the song with “not be alright” in it though? It’s not titled that. That song’s my vote.

JUST WILL NOT.

beeYALRIGHT!!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Friday, 15 November 2019 00:01 (five years ago)

held my breath and voted Anew Day

― josh az (2011nostalgia), Friday, 15 November 2019 06:24 (five years ago)

Dopey me did not scroll down to see Not Be Alright before. Just voted for it.

― valet doberman (Jon not Jon), Friday, 15 November 2019 19:37 (five years ago)

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

― System, Saturday, 16 November 2019 00:01 (five years ago)

“When You Know..” extremely robbed!

― that said, I’d prefer a single serving of you (flamboyant goon tie included), Saturday, 16 November 2019 00:59 (five years ago)

I think I voted Year in Song.

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 16 November 2019 01:10 (five years ago)

What on earth, would have voted bodies in trouble anyway but why was this poll so undersubscribed?

― plax (ico), Saturday, 16 November 2019 01:30 (five years ago)

This album basically changed everything I consider valuable about pop music

― plax (ico), Saturday, 16 November 2019 01:31 (five years ago)

as I said, can’t choose won’t choose

― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 16 November 2019 06:44 (five years ago)

Honestly as poll-runner I should have done more to bump it to get more attention

― josh az (2011nostalgia), Saturday, 16 November 2019 09:28 (five years ago)

Was tempted to vote for Body’s in Trouble but flipped to When You Know... for fear it would miss out. Now sad I didn’t vote for My Friends Have.

― Tim F, Saturday, 16 November 2019 10:05 (five years ago)

I think I would have gone for Help Me Lift You Up because it takes me at the knees every time I hear it.

― Life is a meaningless nightmare of suffering...save string (Chinaski), Saturday, 16 November 2019 10:53 (five years ago)

you know what, this poll reminded me how much I love one of my favourite albums and that is much appreciated - thank you

― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 16 November 2019 11:15 (five years ago)

Who voted year in song? Thank you for doing so.

― plax (ico), Saturday, 16 November 2019 22:20 (five years ago)

The part where she screams "I'm not ready to go under" is maybe my favourite moment on the album.

― plax (ico), Saturday, 16 November 2019 22:21 (five years ago)

me.

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 16 November 2019 22:33 (five years ago)

(i think)

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 16 November 2019 22:34 (five years ago)

Year in Song is very proto-Life without Buildings. It’s so great
