Trying to narrow to 25. This is hard.

As with all other records, i haven't played these in YEARS. And I own no pods.
I really can't vote unless I cram my ears all weekend. I don't even remember what song "Blue Line Swinger" is.

Then you're in for a treat because Blue Line Swinger is a doozy. Last song on Electro-Pura. I've been having a blast revisiting YLT. Their 90s stuff has aged fantastically well. New records are great too.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 17:17 (nine years ago) link
Electro-Pura is my least favorite of the classics. Meanwhile I like Summer Bunch. "Little Eyes" is my favorite YLT second song.

how do people rate fakebook? my favorite ylt album by far, but it seems to have not been mentioned anywhere except in the one post listing all their covers, and none of the originals from it have been mentioned anywhere either.

xp The Summer almost cracked my top 10 and their Flamin Groovies take was my top cover. one of my favorites of theirs.
― campreverb, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link
fakebook is perfecto, probably their first great record.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 18:12 (nine years ago) link
not voting 'cause i stopped paying attention after i can heart the heart beating as one, but "can't forget" would have been top 2 or 3 for me, if not my #1.

Vote anyway.
For a long time, Facebook was my favorite YLT album, and it's probably still my #2.
― WilliamC, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 19:04 (nine years ago) link
they never recorded their version of "Love Power" from The Producers, right?
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 13 May 2015 19:12 (nine years ago) link
I wanna give a shoutout to the instrumental disc of Genius+Love, some great stuff on there - "Nutricia", "Enough", "Sunsquashed", etc.
I was late to Fakebook but it is great and I may vote for "Griselda"
― sleeve, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 19:15 (nine years ago) link
agreed-'Nutricia' was one of my last cuts.
― campreverb, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link
Gee I forgot I have to do my own ballot.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 13 May 2015 23:15 (nine years ago) link
was really hoping to find Oneida's live cover of "The Room Got Heavy" they did back in maybe 07-08 at a show I saw in Boston. so great.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 15 May 2015 04:43 (nine years ago) link
there is another great cover missing in the list upthread. yoko ono's "don't worry, kyoko (mommy's only looking for her hand in the snow" on "yo la tengo is murdering the classics".

Need to revisit the last few albums before I submit my ballot, I'm a casual YLT fan compared to most people here I'm sure but they have a lot of songs I love.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 15 May 2015 09:20 (nine years ago) link
VHS: I'll get my list to you today. I have 25 images ready to go--I assume you'll need more than that (40?). It's pretty easy to get another 15 ready.
― clemenza, Saturday, 16 May 2015 13:33 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i can't do this. usta know the catalog really well, but... i threw it all away.
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 16 May 2015 14:39 (nine years ago) link
got my ballot in. top 10 or so was very easy to figure out but then the rest took forever to narrow down
― ufo, Sunday, 17 May 2015 12:57 (nine years ago) link
I will send mine tomorrow
― kornrulez6969, Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:16 (nine years ago) link
Ballot sent.
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius)
Just go on instinct dude. I didn't have time to relisten to stuff either.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 17 May 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link
Clem: I think 40 is a good number for now.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 17 May 2015 16:19 (nine years ago) link
Voted!
― da croupier, Sunday, 17 May 2015 17:05 (nine years ago) link
Voted. I wish the covers portion could have been 10 spots instead of 5.
― WilliamC, Sunday, 17 May 2015 18:08 (nine years ago) link
It's not too late to submit a ballot, is it?
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Monday, 18 May 2015 13:47 (nine years ago) link
No it isn't
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 18 May 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link
Submitting today!
― dronestreet, Monday, 18 May 2015 14:06 (nine years ago) link
VHS, are you sending out confirmations?
― WilliamC, Monday, 18 May 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
I think so as I got a confirmation shortly after I submitted my ballot.
― it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 18 May 2015 15:40 (nine years ago) link
I didn't get a confirmation?
― campreverb, Monday, 18 May 2015 15:44 (nine years ago) link
i can't really listen to this band but i wouldn't tell them to fuck off cuz they look like people who would buy records from me.
― scott seward, Monday, 18 May 2015 16:27 (nine years ago) link
Yes, just a couple confirmations!
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 18 May 2015 16:40 (nine years ago) link

No rush sleeve :)

There will be a surge of votes for "Ohm" after last night.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:18 (nine years ago) link
Why so?
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:23 (nine years ago) link
Going back and listening to this band deeply for the first time in over a decade, what's really struck me is Ira Kaplan is pretty much a guitar God.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:32 (nine years ago) link
(xpost) Mad Men...in the last scene, Don Draper invents electricity.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:35 (nine years ago) link
Also because Ohm is an incredible song
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 13:29 (nine years ago) link
Fade is one of my favorites post-2000, I had 2 tracks make my top 25. Actually, when people say post-2000 I don't know if that means they dislike And Then Nothing, or the stuff after.
― campreverb, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link
In my case, it's the stuff after.
