Transformer version of Andy's Chest >>>>> VU version, but that is the only song done by both artists that I would say that about.
― sleeve, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:06 (ten years ago) link
I'd also say it for "Satellite Of Love" and maybe "Oh Jim" - but I guess I'm voting for the VU version of "Sad Song" if I have to distinguish
― da croupier, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:14 (ten years ago) link
most of the votes for Sad Song so far have specified the Lou version (Chris Lowe's ballot did not - givin it to Lou unless I hear otherwise)

submitted!

while i like this version, transformer gets the nod for better lyrics ("harry, mark & tom" >>>> "wynken, blinken & nod")

though voting for the VU's demo of "Sad Song" will do nothing but hamper its placing potential, i prefer this arrangement a lot
― da croupier, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:31 (ten years ago) link
yeah, that VU "sad song" is so wonderful.
― tylerw, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:35 (ten years ago) link
I liked that since Bowie barred his own music from being used in Velvet Goldmine, Haynes & Co. threw on the solo "Satellite" which has prominent backing vox from the dame.

there's an alternate reality where "what goes on" did well on the charts, the band got a manager that was nice to lou reed, and the velvets remained a tight little groove band through the mid-'70s
― da croupier, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:38 (ten years ago) link
was just listening to this weird post-reed "what goes on" -- yeah, basically a "tight little groove band"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smsxCth9144
― tylerw, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:41 (ten years ago) link
granted, in that reality their stature is probably more like mott the hoople's (bowie would have hooked up with them either way)
― da croupier, Friday, 15 November 2013 21:42 (ten years ago) link
just sent mine. picking a no. 1 was incredibly hard.

Do we have to rank? I never do these big polls don't know the rules.

RE: Satellite of Love
I've assumed all votes were for the Transformer version unless otherwise noted.
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 November 2013 21:53 (ten years ago) link
re: ranking
yes please. Just a list, with your no. 1 on top, is fine.
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 November 2013 21:54 (ten years ago) link
FYI 36 ballots in, voting closes in 3 hrs
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:01 (ten years ago) link
Will go w/ Lou versions of Sad Song & She's My Best Friend. Neil agrees w/ me.
― Chris L, Friday, 15 November 2013 22:02 (ten years ago) link
Have a good ballot, you guys
― Mark G, Friday, 15 November 2013 22:04 (ten years ago) link

― comic sbans soref (wins), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:08 (ten years ago) link
thx Chris duly noted
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:09 (ten years ago) link
I can't do a ballot, it'dbe almost all VU, and some Mo. Also, could not pick or rank or exclude..
Will enjoy the results tho.
― Mark G, Friday, 15 November 2013 22:11 (ten years ago) link
Threw together a list now just have to tidy it up

does lou's "thinking xxx" extra feature count as a "track"? If so that could get my #1 vote

can we get a ruling on this
― comic sbans soref (wins), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:30 (ten years ago) link

― comic sbans soref (wins), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:42 (ten years ago) link
Never gonna get it down to 50.
― Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 November 2013 22:47 (ten years ago) link
srsly I'm running out of spaces and I haven't got to lou yet :-(
if I could vote for the 3 "Falkland Suite" songs (in their Fragments versions) as 1 track I'd be happy, as it is they'll get the chop

my vote for She's My Best Friend is VU version. C'mon.
― kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:05 (ten years ago) link
right I'm cutting out cale's hallelujah cover, I don't wanna be corny
subbing in cale's so long marianne cover, because "mountayne" see above
― comic sbans soref (wins), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:06 (ten years ago) link
thx kraudive, duly noted
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:08 (ten years ago) link
Oh god I put She's My Best Friend too low.
This band.
― kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:30 (ten years ago) link
I only just realised it sounds like they're doing early Beatles harmonies.
― kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:31 (ten years ago) link
Sent!
― He got...JACKED UP!!!!! (WilliamC), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:36 (ten years ago) link
sent, I couldn't finish ordering although I know it'll be the difference between my favourites making it or not
― comic sbans soref (wins), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:39 (ten years ago) link
Shakey - I'm not sure why you're only asking about those tunes. They are another two on my list where I'd insist VU VERSION!
thanks anyway. Awesome job you're doing.
― kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:43 (ten years ago) link
which ones? satellite of love?
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:49 (ten years ago) link
Thank you for doing this, Shakey. Can't wait for results!

I Can't Stand It and Ocean were recorded for Lou's first solo album. I didn't mean those versions.
I don't know. Asking people which version they mean seems a bit odd.
