Hard call for me. I went with 'Rub Til It Bleeds'
'Fountain' from the debut might also fit in.

Both brilliant songs but Albini’s visceral slam >>> Flood’s wall of sound.

These are both great songs but, although I like To Bring You My Love more than Rid of Me, I have to choose "Rub 'til It Bleeds" due to a powerful illumination I had while listening to it years ago - a vision of every human being interconnected in a web of sexuality they're trying to solve in isolation, sometimes acting out in counterproductive ways, but all caught in the same mystery. I've never rubbed it until it bled though.

'Fountain' from the debut might also fit in.

Next song I'd connect in this lineage: "Urn With Dead Flowers in a Drained Pool".

you oughta see me crawl my room

OK, for thirty years I've heard "you oughta see me blow my load", sort of a sequel to "50 Ft. Queenie".

Halfway there but for you, Friday, 1 May 2026 21:25 (one week ago)
