Moka, Saturday, 10 April 2010 23:42 (fifteen years ago)

man what a great band. leave me be maybe

mizzell, Saturday, 10 April 2010 23:50 (fifteen years ago)

i can't think of two singles that i've heard so much that still have such impact as tell her no and she's not there.

mizzell, Saturday, 10 April 2010 23:51 (fifteen years ago)

except for maybe time of the season

mizzell, Saturday, 10 April 2010 23:56 (fifteen years ago)

Care of Cell 44 ftw

Stormy Davis, Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:19 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, their "big 3" are Tell/She's/Time, and they all still slay, don't care how many times i hear them on the radio

Stormy Davis, Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:20 (fifteen years ago)

"Care of Cell 44"--didn't even know it was a single.

clemenza, Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

"imagine the swan" - an epic closer

village idiot (dog latin), Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:43 (fifteen years ago)

impulse vote for beechwood park, but all the odyssey & oracle singles are pretty untouchable, as are she's not there and tell her no obviously

congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:45 (fifteen years ago)

and leave me be, shit

congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:46 (fifteen years ago)

at first glance this seems impossible

dynamicinterface, Sunday, 11 April 2010 00:55 (fifteen years ago)

Going Out Of My Head - their version, of course.

Was even better when they played it in Glasgow last year.

PaulTMA, Sunday, 11 April 2010 01:00 (fifteen years ago)

The Way I Feel Inside is so simple and pure, it's so good. That one and "Tell Her No".

peachtea, Sunday, 11 April 2010 03:00 (fifteen years ago)

I know I will regret my vote, no matter which one it is

you can beat my box any time (PappaWheelie V), Sunday, 11 April 2010 03:06 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, this is one of the more impossible polls, but I'm going to vote either "Whenever You're Ready" or "She's Coming Home" - I love both of those, and feel that they're sorta 'sleepers' here.

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Sunday, 11 April 2010 03:19 (fifteen years ago)

Everything here is amazing, but "She's Not There" is the second-greatest single of all time.

T Bone Streep (Cave17Matt), Sunday, 11 April 2010 04:00 (fifteen years ago)

I always liked that "Tell Her No" is a way of getting every man in the world (who speaks English) to rebuke the advances of his gal. Like, maybe Baldr's mom coulda gotten through to that mistletoe sprig if she had a song as good as "Tell Her No" on the pop charts.

Ponies are horse children (Abbott), Sunday, 11 April 2010 04:02 (fifteen years ago)

Am I the only one who thinks "Time of the Season" is super extra super sexy?

Ponies are horse children (Abbott), Sunday, 11 April 2010 04:06 (fifteen years ago)

No.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Sunday, 11 April 2010 04:08 (fifteen years ago)

Beechwood park, but really this is impossible.

feor, Sunday, 11 April 2010 08:09 (fifteen years ago)

"Friends of Mine" is proto-twee

Mark G, Sunday, 11 April 2010 11:29 (fifteen years ago)

^^^this.

also, it would have fit quite nicely on something else by the kinks.

fact checking cuz, Sunday, 11 April 2010 15:27 (fifteen years ago)

Theirs is one of three (non-GBV) box sets I own. Pretty much everything in it is unimpeachable, and I agree that voting in this poll is nigh impossible. I might have to go with 'The Way I Feel Inside', though, if only because of its status as a fantastic and underexposed non-album track.

SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Sunday, 11 April 2010 16:07 (fifteen years ago)

I guess "I Want You Back Again" wasn't a single. :(

billstevejim, Sunday, 11 April 2010 16:15 (fifteen years ago)

Okay, it most definitely was a single, but "U.S. only" and it charted at #95.. I'm finding this an unfair exclusion since it was totally my first immediate choice..

billstevejim, Sunday, 11 April 2010 16:32 (fifteen years ago)

Whenever You're Ready

Cunga, Sunday, 11 April 2010 18:23 (fifteen years ago)

The verses to "I Must Move" totally rule. Would love to play drums on a cover of that one.

Adam Bruneau, Sunday, 11 April 2010 19:50 (fifteen years ago)

Tis a funny coincidence, I won an ebay auction for the CD of "Begin Here" and the mono/stereo 2CD Odessey about a week ago, so now can make up a CDr with the A and B Sides for myself.

Also, I was discussing "A rose for Emily" with Alice as it's one of her favourite tracks, and 10 mins later there was a feature on them on the One show.

Mark G, Monday, 12 April 2010 08:50 (fifteen years ago)

Heard the Posies' cover of "Leave Me Be" on my iPod while I was driving to work the other day and was like, "Fuck, this is a good song." Hard not to vote for that, but Care Of Cell 44 is just so amazing.

Obama, Wellstone and Darwinfish, Attorneys (Pancakes Hackman), Monday, 12 April 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

Went with Cell 44, but it really could have been any of them. What a great band.

Darin, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:16 (fifteen years ago)

I Love You is amazing, but so are so many other of these singles.

Jacob Sanders, Monday, 12 April 2010 16:00 (fifteen years ago)

Did "She's Not There" invent prog? Or jazz-rock? Or both?

Half lies and gorilla dust (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 12 April 2010 17:42 (fifteen years ago)

Prog, probably. They were publicised as being "swots" at the time, in those days where that seemed like a selling point and not something you'd keep quiet actually...

Mark G, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 15:22 (fifteen years ago)

'I'll Call You Mine'

Gee, Officer (Gukbe), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 23:48 (fifteen years ago)

one month passes...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Friday, 4 June 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

Tell Her No is how I go

PappaWheelie V, Friday, 4 June 2010 23:35 (fifteen years ago)

Friends of Mine, I guess...? what a band

in my day we had to walk 10 miles in the snow for VU bootleg (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 4 June 2010 23:36 (fifteen years ago)

recall some 90s interview where it was noted that all the couples mentioned in Friends of Mine had since broken up :(

in my day we had to walk 10 miles in the snow for VU bootleg (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 4 June 2010 23:37 (fifteen years ago)

everyone should be allowed 3 votes for this poll

"whenever you're ready" for the 'you're not teaching me a new thing' vox. "going out of my head" 2nd
"she's not there" 3rd

love this band so much. amazing musicians.

hobbes, Saturday, 5 June 2010 00:00 (fifteen years ago)

"Time of the Season" is one of the sexiest things I've ever heard.

Adam Bruneau, Saturday, 5 June 2010 05:08 (fifteen years ago)

Did "She's Not There" invent prog?

I don't hear it.

billstevejim, Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:09 (fifteen years ago)

More people should vote in this. And more specifically, more people should try and steer away from voting for She's Not There, Time Of the Season and Care Of Cell 44 since there is so much goodness amongst at least half of these choices deserving better than a 9-way time for last place with 1 vote each.

billstevejim, Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:29 (fifteen years ago)

*9-way tie*

billstevejim, Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:29 (fifteen years ago)

GOIN' OUT OF MY HEAD

OVER YOU

PaulTMA, Saturday, 5 June 2010 15:07 (fifteen years ago)

I feel like Time of the Season invented the 70s. It always sounded so strange and different than everything else on oldies radio when i was a kid.

mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 15:34 (fifteen years ago)

There's so much going on in Care of Cell 44, what an album opener.

skip, Saturday, 5 June 2010 15:53 (fifteen years ago)

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

System, Saturday, 5 June 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

surprising

mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 23:16 (fifteen years ago)

even though it was mentioned a lot in this thread, thought one of the big 3 would take it.

mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 23:18 (fifteen years ago)

Who did the best "Goin' Out Of My Head"??? I never realized there were so many covers!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goin%27_Out_of_My_Head

billstevejim, Sunday, 6 June 2010 21:29 (fifteen years ago)

huh. always just assumed "sometimes" was a single. it should've been
