Dig the Moby Grape Poll

Must...think...hard...about...this...poll.

"fall on you." because it drives like a motherfucker, and that's where it's at!

(there's four bars introduction, man!)

(introduction shit!)

if i voted for "come in the morning" and was the only one, I would cry for my loneliness.

one of the best records of the era, easy stylee.

of *any* era ...

I love love love "Sitting By The Window" and voted thusly.

I liked "Hey Grandma" but got more progressively bored...

Oh, and theMove's cover version too. wo-oh-oh Bustle!! Makes you feel so good...

I liked "Hey Grandma" but got more progressively bored...

Sorry... does... not... compute...

So hard to chose. 8:05, Fall On You, Omaha are prob'ly my favourite tracks.

Well, I haven't given up on it as yet, but my "buy the reissues" is on indefinate hiaitus.

You only really need this album

OK, I'm going with "8:05"

christ this is tough

It's a touch choice, but I'm going out on a limb and choosing "Indifference". I think this is the only song that gives you an idea of how they might have sounded live. It's also just crazy, with ideas everywhere, but making sense too.

You only really need this album

But their best song isn't even on it! Nothing can top Seeing.

Some great songs on the other albums, but I wouldn't describe the albums themselves as being essential purchases

That's true. If I Am Not Willing and Seeing were somehow on this record, it would have been the best album of the entire sixties.

Shaping up to be one of those every-song-gets-a-vote polls, first one I can remember since "Forever Changes"...I'm gonna say "Lazy Me".

it would have been the best album of the entire sixties

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I went with Omaha but it was a tough choice.

"Someday", for the vocal that comes in at the end ("youuuuuuuur mind is lost...")

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

I voted for "8:05" in this poll and "905" in the Entwistle poll- maybe somebody will start a City Boy poll so I can vote for "5705" in that one.

Now here's a thing...

I just cot a second hand copy of "WoW", along with the Grape Jam "freebie"...

I have to say, I like "Wow" much better than the 1st album.

(I know, yr office, etc)

I haven't quite got to runnig it at 78rpm for the Gene Autry track, but still. It reminds me of the Turtles' Battle of the Bands album, and Love.

Funny really.

RIP Jerry Miller. Just a couple of days ago I was getting the Skip Spence biography from the library and realized that I'd never seen any film of their performances - this performance of "8:05" is actually live.

At least he got to outlive Matthew Katz.

Oh fuck. RIP Jerry, great guitarist.

My new band is currently learning “Hey, Grandma.” What a crazy song. Pow pow pow!

I was watching another clip of Moby Grape earlier and thinking that their super-tight all singing all playing performance reminded me of the Move... then I remembered the Move covered "Hey Grandma"!

RIP Jerry. what a king. "Naked, If I Want To" is a perfect song

Wish Matthew Katz hadn’t lived so long. The surviving members with Miller deserved a victory lap tour where they could play under their band’s name. R.I.P. Jerry

Correction, they managed some shows including a one-off in 2007 (possibly their only one after 1997)
