Oh man this is super impossible! SO I went with "Six Strings That Drew Blood" on impulse.

― 17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Monday, 1 November 2010 01:17 (fourteen years ago)

are you THE abbott are a new abbbottt?

― Zeno, Monday, 1 November 2010 01:18 (fourteen years ago)

funny, cause Six Strings for me is one of their weakest tracks (maybe beause Howard wrote it)
my impulse made me vote for Big Jesus, but maybe i shoudve voted Swampland.

― Zeno, Monday, 1 November 2010 01:19 (fourteen years ago)

(my misatke about Howard, but still..)

― Zeno, Monday, 1 November 2010 01:24 (fourteen years ago)

Same old Abbott, my friend.

Other tracks I wanted to vote for: Mr. Clarinet, Figure of Fun, Just You and Me, Dead Joe, Mutiny in Heaven....+ MANY MORE

― 17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Monday, 1 November 2010 15:13 (fourteen years ago)

The Friend Catcher

― Trip Maker, Monday, 1 November 2010 15:16 (fourteen years ago)

I love "Just You and Me," I rerally should have given my vote to it.

I wrote upon its outside-surface
"tonight we're on the outside-surface"
Just you and me girl: you and me and...the fat?
You and me and...fat?

― kamerad, Monday, 1 November 2010 15:49 (fourteen years ago)

ALL OF THEM

― the waning trend (latebloomer), Monday, 1 November 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago)

guess I'll go with "Jennifer's Veil" though

― the waning trend (latebloomer), Monday, 1 November 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago)

I picked up Hits on a whim and was completely blindsided by "The Friend Catcher"

― lol tea partiers and their fat fingers (HI DERE), Monday, 1 November 2010 17:13 (fourteen years ago)

This is impossible. But that She's Hit > Dead Joe > Dim Locator sequence on Junkyard is one of the greatest things ever.

― Harrison Buttwhistle (NickB), Monday, 1 November 2010 17:15 (fourteen years ago)

So fucking sick of N!ck C4ve.

― 15-60-77 (S-), Monday, 1 November 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago)

feel weird voting for the first birthday party song I ever heard, but it's gotta be "she's hit" for me - so desolate and amazing. "and you locked him up for twenty years/now there's action on the basement stairs" is all-time for me

― guess I'll just sing dream on again (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Monday, 1 November 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago)

some of these aren't as awesome in the studio recordings as on live albums or bootlegs or youtube concert footage -

― sarahel, Monday, 1 November 2010 17:39 (fourteen years ago)

Release the bats (but oh Mr Clarinet/Friend Catcher/hamlet!!it's so hard to pick just one...)

― That is the stench of tyranny (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 1 November 2010 17:51 (fourteen years ago)

it's so hard to pick just one...

totally!

also, vaguely lol - the poll closes the day before my birthday

― sarahel, Monday, 1 November 2010 17:55 (fourteen years ago)

"Same old Abbott, my friend."

i was surprised cause i didnt thought of you as a BP fan. (a good surprise though.)

― I BLOATED (Edward III), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 01:08 (fourteen years ago)

zeno what are you doin to me man. crazy tough to pick here.

i'm going to go with mutiny in heaven? because there are like 9 nick caves on it?

no i don't know yet!

― arby's, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 01:16 (fourteen years ago)

Loco lomo loco lomo l'wow wow wow

― StanM, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 07:42 (fourteen years ago)

Pretty impossible, went with Deep In The Woods in the end though.

― StanM, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 07:45 (fourteen years ago)

Impossible. Unthinkable to pick just ONE. But...

"Kewpie Doll".

Just put it in a mix last week (see DJ mixes for D/L thread if you like)

― Wayland Flowers And Madman (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 12:47 (fourteen years ago)

could not decide and just went with 6" gold blade. it fucking rules, why not

― arby's, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago)

imposs, but Dead Joe.

― portrait of velleity (woof), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 16:10 (fourteen years ago)

Sonny's Burning deserves some love.

― brio, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago)

She's Hit (on the Live Album) has such a fucked-up-in-the-mud vibe to it I'll go for that.

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:30 (fourteen years ago)

which Live album?

― sarahel, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:32 (fourteen years ago)

This really is impossible...I am regretting my vote but I think I would have felt torn about anything I voted for.

― 17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

This one has the better version of She's Hit, IMHO. (live in Bremen, used to be on the "A Social Gathering" bootleg, but Rollins had it remastered for this album)

― StanM, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

she's hit, every little bit

― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

sarahel - Live 1981-82 xp

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:37 (fourteen years ago)

xp - oh yeah, that is a great album - it alone is making it hard for me to pick only one.

― sarahel, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

Hands up! Who wants to poll? Sonny's Burning for me, the first song I heard by them.

― Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago)

Lolz I just started playing the thing, first time in a year or several. Yeah shouldn't have voted :-(

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― Zeno, Saturday, 6 November 2010 01:34 (fourteen years ago)

lots of unvotedfor songs i considered voting for. PLEASRRRE AVALAAAACHE

― arby's, Saturday, 6 November 2010 02:08 (fourteen years ago)

I think this is the #1 band where I like to imagine I am in the band.

― 17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Saturday, 6 November 2010 02:27 (fourteen years ago)

Theyre like the most intense screaming fun you can have. Play guitar with an electric shaver! Put knives & forks inside a piano! Bark like a dog! Now screaaaaaaaam. And play a good beat along with all of that so I can dance. Thanks! I <3 u guys!
