Your Favourite ELASTICA Single

Was that it? Talk about workshy.

"Connection". Even though it's a Wire rewrite.

I should also posit:

and then, Your Least Favourite ELASTICA Single

"Car Song" was a single too, wasn't it?

Due to user error, I voted for the same song in both favorite and least-favorite polls.

"It was the best of Elastica singles, it was the worst of Elastica singles..."

"Connection" was great, but I gotta go with "Stutter."

Due to user error, I voted for the same song in both favorite and least-favorite polls.

well they were such a rich, multifaceted band

stutter!

C'mon, it has to be 'Stutter'.

Car Song was surely a single. It had a video.

And I vote Connection. My favorite song of all time, yo.

Yeah Car Song should count for this.. I still would have voted for Waking Up.

"Stutter," now and forever.

"Car Song" was mooted as a single, but they went with "Connection" and "Waking Up" instead if I recall correctly.

Connection >>>>> Three Girl Rhumba.

Sorry. It just is. I went for "Stutter", anyway. The ascent in the pre-chorus is clumsy but I REALLY WANT YOU TO WHOA WHOA WHOA = unstoppable.

But "Car Song" is better. It WAS a single.

Now that so much time for hindsight has passed, what's the consenus on their last, 'difficult' phase?

Car Song was a single in Australia (I have one, so..)

It has one otherwise unreleased song, "Bar Bar Bar".

I was going by the UK discography.

stutter for sure. although i still have part of the verse to 'waking up' stencilled on the scratchplate of one of my guitars. for some reason.

Connection.

"Car Song"

but in this one I voted for "Stutter"

Definitely Car Song, but like the man above me, I voted for Stutter.

"Connection >>>>> Three Girl Rhumba."

No one gives them credit for improving the riff either. They took a three chord riff and made it a six chord riff, and the extra three chords are the hook.

"Now that so much time for hindsight has passed, what's the consenus on their last, 'difficult' phase?"

I thought The Menace was awesome at the time and still do. Weren't the reviews at the time generally positive? There were just a lot of people who didn't even bother listening to it, IIRC.

I think it was mainly because there was so much copied off the "elastica" e.p. of the previous year.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Alright, who voted for "bitch"?

i'm quite surprised 1) so many people voted 2) stutter won.

uh, yeah, i'm quite surprised i never noticed this poll

please tell me more about this "how he wrote elastica man" song

I'm not surprised at all that "Stutter" won. It's the only one besides "Connection" that got played in America at all, and it's way way better than "Connection."
