hard to choose but lets say Paw Paw

Had to go with 'Baby's on Fire' - damn thing just makes me smile.

Everything's a close second, but "Needles".

I love me Tall Dwarfs but they pretty much owe a lot of their sound to this song alone.

I have it in my head that I really like this album but picking songs off it seems to somehow diminish it. Taking Tiger Mountain would be a TOUGH poll though.

Baby's On Fire, obv.

Blank Frank could have used someone like Helmet covering it in the mid-90s.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 4 May 2008 02:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Or Quicksand

Voted On SOme Faraway Beach so it gets some action

Niles Caulder, Sunday, 4 May 2008 15:25 (sixteen years ago) link

More action, I guess. Could've been any of them

I'm not telling what my choice was but I bet every track here gets at least one vote.

This is the hardest one yet! I voted "Baby's On Fire" just over the title track but every song is great.

"Some of Them Are Old," for the slide guitar solo.

Rock Hardy, Sunday, 4 May 2008 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link

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

I'm surprised to see "Blank Frank" come in as low as it did, though I didn't vote for it myself.

DLee, Monday, 5 May 2008 13:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Blank Frank was my second choice. a genius of pre- post punk song

Zeno, Monday, 5 May 2008 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link

surprises me that Some Of Them Are Old isn't up at like 5 or 6, but these are nicely varied.

I chose "On Some Faraway Beach".

six years pass...

question:

i have read conflicting accounts about who recorded the solo in "baby's on fire" and i would like to know whether it is fripp or manzanera?!

La Lechera, Monday, 1 December 2014 17:24 (nine years ago) link

That is definitely Fripp.

Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 1 December 2014 17:25 (nine years ago) link

Ok thank you very much!
I thought so, but for some reason I felt like I read in the book I just read (the Sheppard one) that there was a dispute? Is there a name for that style of guitar playing other than Fripp-like?

one year passes...
