Another toughie. I have to go with "Spellbound," although "Arabian Knights" is a perilously close second.

Love in A Void narrowly beats HKG and Happy House.

Dr.C, Sunday, 6 January 2008 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Easier than The Buzzcocks, Alex.

I'm only dithering between 2 here and they are Dr C's choice and Alex's choice. Gonna have to side with Dr C - Love in a Void it is.

"Spellbound" tho "Christine" is a "personal favorite" BTW I think this is a perfect album, not a bad cut on it.

m coleman, Sunday, 6 January 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

it's between "spellbound" and "hong kong garden" for me. i'll go with the former.

grimly fiendish, Sunday, 6 January 2008 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm picking "Mirage" because I'm really in the mood for it right now.

HI DERE, Sunday, 6 January 2008 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

"Mirage" is also a favorite of mine, but they're all good.

LeRooLeRoo, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

the staircase (mystery). i love the parenthetical in the title.

tipsy mothra, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

these are all good.

Spellbound for the drums after "throw them down the stairs". Also, does the opening acoustic guitar of "Mirage" remind anyone else of Mercury Rev's "Frittering"?

Belldog, Sunday, 6 January 2008 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

The opening guitar of "Spellbound" trumps all, I have to opine.

Alex in NYC, Sunday, 6 January 2008 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep, "Spellbound", without reading the other comments. I had assumed it would be all about the first few singles for most folk.

Soukesian, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Very hard to pick between the last three. I guess "Spellbound" suffers from overkill, in my case, so I might for "Arabian Knights".

baaderonixx, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I suspect I am probably the only one voting for "Playground Twist", but then I would probably be the only one voting for "Join Hands" in an album poll too.

I'm for "Playground Twist" oddly enough. They really should have edited this together with it's b-side on CD somewhere.

Mark G, Monday, 7 January 2008 09:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I might have picked "Icon" had that been a single.

HI DERE, Monday, 7 January 2008 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

"Israel", although I admit to liking the live version on Nocturne considerably more. "Love in a Void" and "Spellbound" are close behind.

It's a shame the collection is so skimpy because it really is wall-to-wall awesomeness.

three weeks pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Alex NYC comin' through with the great polls! I missed this one but would've gone for "Arabian Nights," their most Dolls-like moment.

And yes, every single track a gem.

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 31 January 2008 07:37 (sixteen years ago) link

These are all great songs, surprised Hong Kong Garden came last though.

nate woolls, Thursday, 31 January 2008 09:12 (sixteen years ago) link

That is somewhat surprising.

Alex in NYC, Thursday, 31 January 2008 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link

two months pass...

"Hong Kong Garden" 1
