The Pollcats - The "Japanese Whispers" Poll

Between the three singles, I guess. No idea which of them will win, although I kind of expect "Lovecats" maybe.
Not in doubt about my vote, as "Let's Go To Bed" is IMO the best thing The Cure have ever done.

These (particularly the "Let's go to bed) 12" started as a solo Robert Smith project, after the Cure had supposedly split.

He called up Lol "LOL" Tolhurst to help out and be in the video, and before you know it....

Hmm...that story is part of the Robert Smith myth-making I've heard

i felt i ought to vote 'lament', for some reason, but i couldn't remember what it sounded like, whereas the title of 'speak my language' is kind of an earworm, so i voted for that. if i was being honest with myself i would vote for lovecats obv

The Upstairs Room

sure do love just one kiss

ugh wtf @ POLLcats

geir why do you have to put the word 'poll' in every fucking poll title, this thing is srsly the one thing on ILX that makes me want to kill

btw this album is basically perfect

you could have at least saved pollcats for a polecats poll. but everyone already knows that make a circuit with me was their one moment of brilliance.

we need a poll on worst geir cure poll title - this is pretty terrible but i'm not sure it's worse than "it's friday i'm a POLL"

(note: we do not actually need this)

"sure do love just one kiss"

yeah this or lament - i still love the morose sounding ones - even on a pop-y singles rec. leaning towards lament for the his guitar lines. really yearning and pretty

impossible!

Yeah. Impossible to pick one. I give up - the entire album's excellent.

They should've worked some more with Steve Nye. He gave the tracks he produced here such an odd, unique vibe.

Toss-up btw 'Just One Kiss' and 'Upstairs Room' - I think objectively the former is just untouchable, but I have strong nostalgic associations to 'Upstairs Room'

that whole section "you sister started talking just a minute after ten" - so great

i didn't realise all the POLL thread titles were geir

i kind of like "it's friday, i'm a poll"

I love the Geir POLL titles! Please never take them away from me.

Me too

Oh you guys just made my heart die.

I am tempted to start "The SpiderPoll is Polling Me for Poller ToPoll - The Disintegration Poll"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've been POLLing so long at POLL POLLtos of you"

"POLLessly aPOLL in the POLL of the POLLs again"

*dies to death*

Good god. (I'm with Abbott.)

Be glad I didn't do the whole song!

I'm probably having chicken and baked beans for Poller ToPoll.

am i lame for voting for "the walk"? i'm having a hard time remembering a couple of these. also, am i lame for really liking mixed up?

(i probably haven't listened to it since like'98 tho)

Ha I have listened to Mixed Up so much.

this is pretty much my favorite cure too, next to pornography I guess. the top three for me are the walk, let's go to bed & lovecats even though I had many more emo nights on the dance floor with the first two lovecats is just so so great & I remember being most floored by it when it was new - like, this band is just invincible right now, was my feeling.

let's go to bed

"The Lovecats" is the best of the singles but nothing can stand up to "Lament" in my eyes.

you could have at least saved pollcats for a polecats poll. but everyone already knows that make a circuit with me was their one moment of brilliance.

No, they aren't. Not at all.

Btw. I am most satisfied with the McCartney poll titles I have come up with until now. :)

am i lame for voting for "the walk"?

Not unless I'm lame too...love all of it but "The Walk" is where it's at for me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

The one time I heard this album, I couldn't get past how completely it rips off the band Japan. Does this bother anybody else?

I'll check it out again.

Not sure how I missed this poll, though I'd have added another vote for "Let's Go to Bed" -- one of my fave Cure singles!

Wd have voted Lament, missed this though.
