The Unpollable: GREATEST FALL SONG

It's "Wings". Also we've done this. Also it's stupid.

Quite similar line-up to a 2-cdr attempt to explain The Fall I made for a friend. Nicely done!

WHERE'S 4 1/2 INCH YOU TIT

fine I'm voting Gross Chapel - British Grenadiers but STILL. god

also some of these choices are never in 5 zillion years the best one

by definition

no bulbs. 12 inch version. is probably my favorite. i feel unworthy in its presence. could start a church devoted to it.

church of murky flatness

Biggest Chapel Yet

has their been a best cover version by the Fall poll yet?

^^^this would be a better poll

Gut Of The Quantifier 4EVA!!!!!!!!

to which the answer is obviously "I'm A Mummy" xp to self

I got to vote for the one Fall song I like! Woo hoo.

am now wondering whether I wouldn't have voted for Bonkers In Phoenix had it been an option

ah well

i'm going hip priest, maybe that's corny to full-on heads but i still love it

that video snuck onto tv somehow somewhere when I was in high school & i thought The Fall was synonymous with sexy girls for a long time after, little did i know

I'll go with Hip Priest. Initially I thought Weather Report #2 was the standout track from the new one, but have since drifted in the direction of Bury Pts. 1&3 which kind of reminds me of what I loved about Wonderful & Frightening World era Fall, but tighter and more direct.

Right now I'm leaning towards "How I Wrote Elastic Man" - but there are some close runners-up.

For me, the list lacks their defining moment, New Puritan (peel session) and their most mysterious moment Iceland. I would probably want to see No Xmas for John Quays in there somewhere too.

Can't be bothered to think about choosing favourite songs but this seems as good a place as any, it being the current Fall thread, to post this from the Fall website -

The Fall recorded a session for Mike Joyce's Coalition Chart Show at Blueprint Studios in Manchester on 16 June, and it was broadcast on eastvillageradio.com yesterday (17 June), with chat from MES and Mike interspersed between the tracks. It's well worth a listen. You can hear the two-hour show on the show's webpage, or download the Fall bit here.

tracks: Mexico Wax Solvent (Part 1) / Hungry Freaks Daddy / Over! Over! / Von Sudenfed - Rhinohead (from CD)
/ Mexico Wax Solvent (Part 2)

Haven't listened yet, because I'm at work, but I'm v much looking forward to doing so.

A million write in votes, all different.

Mine?

no bulbs. 12 inch version

Still Wings

leave the capitol

Utterly Impossible. Thats what I voted. Obviously I was more optimistic back in those days.

'Wings' if only for the guitar riff that sounds like some fucked up Santana.

...garden

Impossible to decide...

but

'Tempo House' is the only one I've ever felt compelled to go onto slsk and get as many versions as possible of and then listen to them all back to back.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

nothing from Dragnet :(

still my four favourite Fall songs are on here: Leave The Capitol, Rowche Rumble, How I Wrote Elastic Man, and my vote, New Face in Hell...

How I Wrote Elastic Man

gotta be. Right?

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

I don't understand why people like Hit the North. It's catchy but compared to almost everything else sounds very dated.
