I have no idea what might win this. I voted "A.D. 2000".

― The Reverend, Monday, 17 November 2008 06:38 (seventeen years ago)

For all the New Amerykah haters out there....

I'll vote as Mama's Gun lover. "Green Eyes."

― Eric H., Monday, 17 November 2008 06:40 (seventeen years ago)

did i already brag that she performed "green eyes" at the show i saw this year? :D i voted "green eyes." many reasonable people love both albums.

― The Reverend, Monday, 17 November 2008 06:46 (seventeen years ago)

ilm is no place for jokes

i read this as "machine gun poll" and came in ready to vote "third take"

― H-O-O-S yes i guess i could steen (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Monday, 17 November 2008 07:13 (seventeen years ago)

I voted "Time's A Wastin'", but I couldn't easily voted for "...& On," "Didn't Cha Know", "Kiss Me On My Neck" or "Bag Lady" (both versions).

― Hair Weave's Lookin Kinda Purdy (The Brainwasher), Monday, 17 November 2008 07:15 (seventeen years ago)

"didn't cha know" mos def

― _/(o_o)/¯ (deej), Monday, 17 November 2008 07:46 (seventeen years ago)

green eyes. though didntcha know, orange moon, and bag lady could be contenders. the only slightly not so good track on this is the one with stephen marley but even thats decent. i wouldnt really skip it.

― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 17 November 2008 10:06 (seventeen years ago)

oh, i have absolutely no idea what to vote for actually. i guess i'm going to have to listen to it to decide, damn.

― lex pretend, Monday, 17 November 2008 11:02 (seventeen years ago)

Strongest runner up to "Green Eyes" was probably "Didn't Cha Know."

― Eric H., Monday, 17 November 2008 13:07 (seventeen years ago)

"time's a wastin'", though it coulda been 'green eyes', 'bag lady', 'orange moon'...

― slap bass: the ungentle art (stevie), Monday, 17 November 2008 13:26 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

every song on this album deserves a vote..but none more so than green eyes.

Cleva

― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 November 2008 01:16 (seventeen years ago)

What does it take for a poll of a great album to generate a good voter turnout?

― Eric H., Thursday, 20 November 2008 02:24 (seventeen years ago)

Fewer polls.

― Dimension 5ive, Thursday, 20 November 2008 02:54 (seventeen years ago)

Since I've never heard this album, I hope that "Green Eyes" is a Husker Du cover.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 20 November 2008 03:08 (seventeen years ago)

Who is Husker Du?

― Eric H., Thursday, 20 November 2008 03:17 (seventeen years ago)

The fact that Alf has never heard this album is kind of blowing my mind.

― Dimension 5ive, Thursday, 20 November 2008 03:19 (seventeen years ago)

Too much Husker Du...

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 20 November 2008 03:23 (seventeen years ago)

False dichotomy, my young friend.

I'd like to reallocate my vote to "Booty".

― afrofuturist philosopher (The Reverend), Thursday, 20 November 2008 08:43 (seventeen years ago)

People hated New Amerykah?A?A?A?A>>A\\\wtf

― Abbott of the Trapezoid Monks (Abbott), Friday, 21 November 2008 04:05 (seventeen years ago)

It was mostly a dig at titchyschneider.

― afrofuturist philosopher (The Reverend), Friday, 21 November 2008 05:46 (seventeen years ago)

i can't remember what i voted for but it should've been 'booty' :(

― lex pretend, Saturday, 29 November 2008 14:28 (seventeen years ago)

but your nigga thinks i'm deeper
but i don't want him!

three months pass...

"Kiss Me on My Neck" is really striking me as awesome today.

― goodbye pork pie scarf (The Reverend), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 01:13 (seventeen years ago)

It's all in the contrast between the sensuousness of the verse and the forthrightness of the chorus, I think.

she had the band re-play it for "booty", but i'm dying to know what the original is. so funky.

― rinse the lemonade (Jordan), Friday, 19 February 2010 20:34 (sixteen years ago)

whoa never saw this thread, but i rocked this record in LOL college, and found myself singing "kiss me on my neck" this week

― 69, Friday, 19 February 2010 20:36 (sixteen years ago)

green eyes seems a little corny in retrospect

― 69, Friday, 19 February 2010 20:41 (sixteen years ago)

dunno (+very curious) what rev was snappin at, but i'm about to snap myself because i just now found out this album had b-sides.

"hollywood"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKWiqtbH3uI

"drama"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73aLNB0pPuQ

both on the "didn't cha know" single.

which never got released in the yoo ess. sigh.

exciting find though. album is on my shortlist of alltime greatest (which i might have mentioned already elsewhere).

too excited to really process rn, but the songs are great.
