UTAH SAINTS U-U-U-UTAH SAINTS SINGLES POLL

It's a game of two tracks Brian. I'll go for WCYDFM since it puts Annie Lennox to some use for once in her life.

Apparently "Ohio" is widely believed to be their worst single. I really liked it (miles better than "Believe In Me"). Of course, duh, it's not "Something Good", so it's not going to get any votes.

Oooooh I just know that "Something Good" is gonna happen!

Ohio is miles better than I Still Tink Of You and their last 3 singles bar the new remix (not heard)

Love Song = quite Underworldy, convinced it samples AWB's 'Pick Up The Pieces' intro

Ha, I was just listening to the first album yesterday. A more true power-pop album than all the bad Beatles knockoffs ever committed to vinyl or the equivalent.

I hope none of the fans of early Simple Minds aren't offended by my fierce admiration for U-Saints' "New Gold Dream" re-interpretation.

Hardly!

oooooooooo-i just know that "Something Good" is gonna crush

It's a game of two tracks Brian. I'll go for WCYDFM since it puts Annie Lennox to some use for once in her life.

It IS a game of two tracks, but seriously I will fight you over the Lennox crack. Annie solo's a bore but the Eurythmics own. Hmm... there's no Eurythmics poll yet, is there?

lol I did a "the Eurythmics" - forty lashes for me

It's a game of two tracks Brian. I'll go for WCYDFM Something Good since it puts Annie Lennox Kate Bush to some use for once in her life.

^^^ BAN

Yeah "Sump'n Good" is the answer tho.

Utah Saints' debut is one of the best dance albums of the early nineties, and unjustly forgotten in my opinion. There isn't a single bad song on it, and tunes like "New Gold Dream" or "Too Much to Swallow" or "My Mind Must Be Free" are just as good as the singles.

oh man I love "My Mind Must Be Free"

Yeah, the sampled vocals and strings on that tune are sublime.

I wonder where all the samples on that LP came from, most of them aren't listed on the sleeve? Besides the more obvious ones, I think "I Love You" samples Slayer!

Their second album was shite, wasn't it?

I used to play the U-Saints and Moby's first albums in a near constant loop in late '92-early '93. Good times.

I think "I Love You" samples Slayer!

Sure does -- "War Ensemble." It's in the credits.

There isn't a single bad song on it

I used to think that. But "States of Mind" has not survived the ravages of age unless its destiny was always Animal Planet theme music. And the brilliantly titled "Too Much to Swallow Pt. 1" is only there to insure that this very rockin' album doesn't come off as some sort of rockist whole. But "My Mind Must Be Free" does the memory of St. Sylvester proud - easily their finest moment. For this poll, though, I went with the brilliantly titled "Something Good." Still, a great album.

I remember next to nothing about the other singles.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

SHOCKA

bo

So, outside of Something Good and What Can You Do For Me, is anything by them really worth listening to, cause I love the two aforementioned songs, so much so that haven't even bothered with anything else.

buy the first album! "My Mind Must Be Free," "New Gold Dream," and "Too Much To Swallow" are all great.
