this is between "Green" and "Not Too Soon" really

― katherine, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:49 (thirteen years ago)

"Not Too Soon" for me.

― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:52 (thirteen years ago)

"Green" vs "River" for me. Just finished reading Rat Girl which was super interesting, but one omission i found odd was any sort of mention that Tanya wrote songs or sang in the band.

Gonna have to playlist these. I'm surprised it's only 11.

Is she not on Limbo? That's still my favorite TM.

― Nate Carson, Sunday, 13 January 2013 23:49 (thirteen years ago)

I voted for "Not Too Soon" -- Donnelly's snarl in the chorus is one of the sexiest sounds in music.

Voted Dragonhead, I like it's loopyness

Her last Muses songwriting credits are from the Real Ramona, although she does backing vocals on the 2003 self-titled album. I thought they were recording together again in the past couple of years, but their website makes zero sense so I don't know.

I'm pretty sure this is mentioned. Tanya is referred to as 'Tea' in the book though, so that may be the source of the confusion.

It's all good stuff, but "Not Too Soon" should realy take this away. "Honeychain" runner up.

― Mule, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:01 (thirteen years ago)

"really", even

― Mule, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:01 (thirteen years ago)

"Not Too Soon" is one of my favorite songs ever so that.

― go to party leather (ENBB), Monday, 14 January 2013 21:33 (thirteen years ago)

that one will probably win so i voted "pools in eyes"

did you really think i might not have picked up on that? (X'____')

― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 14 January 2013 22:32 (thirteen years ago)

the reason i think not too soon is so beautiful is that it manages to sound totally accessible and totally weird

impeccable combination imo

Seeing Tanya perform "Green" on that first Belly tour pretty much cemented it in my affections for all time.

― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 11:29 (thirteen years ago)

"Raise The Roses" is so much better than Belly's "Angel" it's unreal.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Saturday, 19 January 2013 00:01 (thirteen years ago)

Voted Reel, which is Tanya's best song, and also from the Muses best record.

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

― System, Sunday, 20 January 2013 00:01 (thirteen years ago)

Didn't expect the vote to be that lopsided... maybe the poll should have been Not Too Soon vs every other Donelly song?
