I voted for it, but I'm not expecting to see it.

man looking at Leee's list there's just no way "hollywood ending" makes it. but if "oh!" doesn't make it i'll riot.

can't imagine 'oh!' doesn't make it though wow didn't think it'd be this high.

listening to all the DMO tracks now, this was absolutely the album with the most ferocious drumming, right?
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link
impressive that at 31 ballots in, the highest vote count so far is still only 19.
and no track listed has had more than one #1 vote i think?
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 23:32 (ten years ago) link
"Turn It On" garnered two!

TBH I cringe a little bit at the live version of Joey R., Carrie's screams in the chorus are mixed just right on the record but a little hmm too mannered in concert.

The singer in the Denver SOR clip handles both Joey vocal parts with due aplomb, imho.

that 97 version mixes in the rock lobster riff underneath -- reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRIAA2bl1OI

I'd like to take a moment before presenting the Top 5 to point out that at one time or another each of these songs was #1, and it wasn't until the last ballots that anything was set.

Greil Marcus' favorite too.

Brilliant song. The Hot Rock was my favourite Sleater-Kinney album at first just because the first and last song are my two favourite songs of theirs.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:14 (ten years ago) link
I remember popping this into the CD player for the first time and saying, "OK, can you guys top Dig Me Out like I'm unfairly expected you to?" Was very pleased to immediately hear a resounding YES in the form of this song.

In every live show I saw they started with a long drum solo, guitar interlude, then launched into W&G.

― horseshoe, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:25 (ten years ago) link
I didn't vote in this, but would have gone for One More Hour, barely, over Dig Me Out. Those are the two tracks that have stuck with me the most over the years. Hope they both make it!

"Dig Me Out" -- that killer no-nonsense riff saying "We're not messing around, plus hey let's introduce our new drummer..." BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOOM.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:53 (ten years ago) link
the roll in w&g at 1:17 before it kicks into the bridge, straight through "rock until you're good and dead"
so good

does anyone else write songs like s/k? everything about their sound, their riffs, feels really distinct, like from a whole different place

Catching up, "Words & Guitar" was my number one, just one of the most flat out fun rock songs ever put to tape.

Surprised One More Hour isn't number one. It looks like I voted for all the top five. Not sure that's ever happened before.

We know what #1 will be so there's no suspense. I am surprised nothing from the first album especially Be Yr Mama placed.
