I've narrowed it down to 3.

urghgh brain broken

I think of "Over and Over" and "The Ledge" as 2 poles in my head or the way I live. Not necessarily the only 2 poles. Cycling slowly backwards and forwards between those 2 ways of feeling takes up a lot of my weeks. And there's a real somewhere in the middle of those, either about to speed towards the staccato "Ledge"-iness or stilling down towards a somewhat blank and deliberate melancholy "Over and Over"-tude. Where the gears grind and the wheels spin a little and things feel like they could go either way. But then still carrying on in the pre-determined direction. They're both ways of not connecting with people tho, I suppose. Either reverie or clanking cranking keep your distance armour.

Wow this kicks Side D's ass.

I think we're all thinking of the same 3 yes?

― I know, right?, Friday, 14 November 2008 10:52 (seventeen years ago)

First 3? I voted for "Think About Me" as some kind of syllogistical synthesis of 1 and 2.

― Oreo SB'd Wagon (Noodle Vague), Friday, 14 November 2008 12:52 (seventeen years ago)

think about me

― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Friday, 14 November 2008 14:00 (seventeen years ago)

Can you see this? It's my brains on the keyboard.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 14 November 2008 14:08 (seventeen years ago)

o shit i meant sara

― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Friday, 14 November 2008 14:11 (seventeen years ago)

Voted for "Sara," even in its abbreviated form. The guitar tone on "Think About Me" is my favorite on the album.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 14 November 2008 14:11 (seventeen years ago)

omg sara

― ;n_n; (tehresa), Friday, 14 November 2008 14:23 (seventeen years ago)

i went for sara too, though the best version is the outtake on the 2cd reissue. all these songs are brilliant, though the version of 'over and over' off the 1980 Live album has such an aching guitar solo that the Tusk take now leaves me cold.

― slap bass: the ungentle art (stevie), Friday, 14 November 2008 14:23 (seventeen years ago)

STUCK btw OVER&OVER or THINK ABOUT ME

Think About Me = my xgf last xmas vacation

also i agree with sir shasta

― ;n_n; (tehresa), Monday, 17 November 2008 05:49 (seventeen years ago)

I do not, I'm stuck between the first two now, it will probably be The Ledge though.

― I know, right?, Monday, 17 November 2008 12:26 (seventeen years ago)

too hard

TOO HARD

― fuzzy dunlop (cozwn), Monday, 17 November 2008 13:10 (seventeen years ago)

much easier to vote for least fave here (lookin' at you, "save me a place")

― donna rouge, Monday, 17 November 2008 16:07 (seventeen years ago)

"save me a place" has killer background vox tho... esp @ end of song.

― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･)　　　°~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Monday, 17 November 2008 16:41 (seventeen years ago)

This would be the best mini album ever btw

― I know, right?, Monday, 17 November 2008 16:45 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i agree 100% with those results

― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Friday, 21 November 2008 00:04 (seventeen years ago)

Wow -- first time I've agreed with the order of the winners.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 21 November 2008 00:05 (seventeen years ago)

All wrong.

― I know, right?, Friday, 21 November 2008 02:34 (seventeen years ago)

you are.

― ;n_n; (tehresa), Friday, 21 November 2008 04:22 (seventeen years ago)

Sara is like my least favorite SNicks song on this joint btw.

― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･)　　　°~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Friday, 21 November 2008 04:51 (seventeen years ago)

If I ever listen to this it will likely be the Camper van Beethoven remake album.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 21 November 2008 15:52 (seventeen years ago)

has there ever been a worst Track Off Tusk poll? would Noise stand for such a thing? because i played Tusk while driving home from my girls' parents up north on sunday, and BOY is 'angel' a non-song.

― slap bass: the ungentle art (stevie), Friday, 21 November 2008 15:58 (seventeen years ago)

i voted The Ledge.

― carne asada, Friday, 21 November 2008 16:49 (seventeen years ago)

same here

I've come around to it; "Sisters of the Moon" and "Honey Hi" are the stinkers for me.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 21 November 2008 17:57 (seventeen years ago)

i love angel!!! wtf

― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･)　　　°~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Friday, 21 November 2008 18:00 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

side two has been my SIDE this week tbh.

don't know why i have to work / don't know why i can't play

also angel fucking rules. and honey hi is not a a stinker either!!!

― Joint Custody (ian), Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:16 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah I think I like Angel a lot more than any of my friends.
Just makes me feel good.
But tbh I made a mix of just Lindsey's songs with the demo versions from the 2 disc set and i listen to that more than Tusk proper.

― Trip Maker, Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:22 (fifteen years ago)

honey is def not a stinker!! kinda agree w/ alfred abt sisters of the moon tho

― just sayin, Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:35 (fifteen years ago)

I hope I was one of the "Save Me a Place" votes here, but I can't remember.

― wanna be shartin' somethin' (WmC), Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:42 (fifteen years ago)

i would've voted "save me a place". best backing vocals on the album

― rionat, Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:54 (fifteen years ago)

^ they are good, but the backing vocals towards the end of "honey hi" are the biggest highlight for me

― psychgawsple, Thursday, 14 January 2010 21:06 (fifteen years ago)
