spiderland poll

Washer

Breadcrumb Trail

"Good Morning Captain" but "Washer" close number two

WASHER!

i mean, duh.

"Washer" docked points because "tears" does not have two syllables.

I voted "Nosferatu Man".

wait, now i'm listening to good morning captain and i think i'll vote for that.

"Good Morning Captain" is amazing. It so perfectly emulates the sound and feeling of a ship creaking/rocking.

good morning captain might be my favorite song ever

i love this album

haha i was divided between captain and washer before i read the thread, took captain. guess that's yr horserace.

I bought Tweez new and thought it was pretty good. Mostly bought it for the Saab and Albini references.

Spiderland really bummed me out when it came out. Now, I think I could appreciate it more than I did then...

That final instrumental e.p. is really good though!

good morning captain, of course

scott seward, how did you fall into the poll trap?

GMC is def. the best on here but I don't think I'll vote. Why does Ned get all the credit for hating this?

Another Good Morning Captain vote here.

For Dinner is the instro right?

WASHER, when the guitar comes in at 3:46 without the main riff accompanying, my heart bends.

Breadcrumb Trail a very close second.

nosferatu fucking man, man

I'm with Ned.

definition of asshat: anyone who votes "for dinner"

unluckiest song in polldom: "don, aman", which is absolutely brilliant but will get no more than 2 votes (so says MYSTIC LJ).

you are british, you do not understand anything.

there's a difference between liking 'for dinner' and regarding it as the best thing on here, which is insanity. i mean, i respect people's musical opinions and choices, but i can't actually conceive how you could possibly place that song ahead of the others. it's like voting 'radar maker' on a 'best song on mogwai young team' poll, it's like....oh whatever, i should probably just respect your choice.

quality zing btw. how will the transatlantic entente cope?

that was a rhetorical zing

I, also, am with Mr. Raggett.

Um.

Ooh.

...

Nope, can't decide.

At least if this was Tweez, I'd know to vote for Nan Ding.

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart! 5
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

I'm voting for that one.

I bet I'd like Slint more if they had set Whitman to music.

Breadcrumb Trail for me.

Also, I kinda just wanted to repost this:

^^^ so badass

Haha ace, don't remember seeing that one

Don, Aman rules.

Washer is the winner hands down. The tension release at the end of the song is too perfect.

DUD: People who talk about Spiderland like it's some kind of sexual experience.

Yes it's not that an unique of amazing piece

I voted for Don, Aman!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I voted Nosferatu Man. Seconded on the badassery of that instrumental EP, too.

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

Predictable winner

wow! i didn't know it was that much of a landslide though. i voted for washer.

the inflation of math and post-rock bands that came after this record, kinda killed it for me.sadly.

the math rock that followed was short on atmosphere, the post-rock short on grit.

I could never tire of it, it's pretty much ingrained in me. it's as if the cover photo and the words are phantom memories, like a hypnotist has slipped them into my personal narrative, indistinguishable from actual memories. or w/e.

plus: good tunes. everyone loves tunes.
