Voted Eple and B. Jaxx. Couldn’t decide between the two Aaliyah songs and in the end voted for neither; figured they would do all right without my help but it was a close run thing in the end!

hadn't heard "relevee (carl craig remix)" before and it rules so already greatly enjoying this rollout

Glad to see Spoon make this poll, knew they would do well on the albums side but unsure about the tracks side.

"Hard to Explain" did make my long list but not the final cut. Probably the only Strokes song I care about.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Sunday, 13 October 2019 23:40 (four years ago) link
favorite Spoon is Inside Out from 2014 album They Want My Soul
― Dan S, Sunday, 13 October 2019 23:42 (four years ago) link
This could potentially be the Spoon song most worth "getting", at least ime:

Excellent Party Down reference title!
Interesting start to the poll. Very heavy on the first few years of the decade.
I gave Aaliyah a good amount of points in albums, but didn't end up finding room for any of her singles. I'm happy to see any of them place.
I'm somewhere in the middle with Spoon. I've cooled on them a bit in recent years, especially as the last two albums were fairly average. They had a great run in the 2000s though. Everything Hits At Once is one of the reasons why they were far ahead of so many other guitar bands in that era. It's such a beautiful melody and their production was always immaculate. Even on their weaker albums, they still sound so good.
I really should have voted for something by The Strokes. I still get a lot from Hard To Explain after all this time.
― kitchen person, Sunday, 13 October 2019 23:55 (four years ago) link
I get this is a 2000s poll, but the fact that "Are we having fun yet?" is considered a Party Down thing and not a Zippy the Pinhead thing is extremely tilting to me.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 14 October 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
Huh, I had no idea about the Nickelback reference. Kind of ruins it for me a bit.
― kitchen person, Monday, 14 October 2019 00:29 (four years ago) link
Ah! This is a great start! I love or like most of these songs, I think the only one I don’t care about and even find annoying is “where’s your head at?”, and I do like a lot other Basement Jaxx singles from this album. It’s certainly fun but obnoxiously so.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 14 October 2019 00:37 (four years ago) link
I really like this Destroyer song.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Monday, 14 October 2019 00:37 (four years ago) link
Ha, I kind of hate that Basement Jaxx song because that commercial it was in was always on that year. (Doritos?)

Great roll-out so far - the images are great!
― Tim F, Monday, 14 October 2019 00:40 (four years ago) link
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r)
Yeah, it's one of the few singles from their peak era that I never really need to hear again. The Gary Numan sample was pretty clever, but it got old very quickly and I often skip it when listening to Rooty. Hopefully Romeo is still to come.
― kitchen person, Monday, 14 October 2019 00:44 (four years ago) link
Voted “Breakaway”
― Pauline Male (Eric H.), Monday, 14 October 2019 00:55 (four years ago) link
Didn't vote for anything that appeared today though like KP I gave lots of points to Aaliyah in albums. And like ufo I had fun discovering #92.
― monotony, Monday, 14 October 2019 00:56 (four years ago) link
Definitely things to like in the Los Campesinos. Saved that one.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Monday, 14 October 2019 02:16 (four years ago) link
oh yeah, you me dancing is super joyful and also the easiest song ever to play on the guitar

yeah, see the end of the last thread - I forgot that there was a reference to Zippy in Party Down at all

sometimes spoon works for me and sometimes not, and everything hits at once all works and feels really immaculately put together. i did go back and listen to girls can tell during the voting and i had a pretty meh reaction to the rest of it.
thought about voting for bay of pigs, which i love, but i really associate it with the 2010s since it was on kaputt, and i felt weird about voting for something so long and meandering on a tracks poll.
― circles, Monday, 14 October 2019 03:16 (four years ago) link
i like some spoon but have never understood why "everything hits at once" is so beloved and won the spoon poll. it's fine but not really a standout to me
i can understand how some might find "where's your head at?" to be impossibly annoying due to overexposure but i've managed to avoid that, probably just by being young enough. i still really enjoy it and almost voted for it but went with "romeo" (also considered "lucky star", they had a pretty great run of singles at the time)
― ufo, Monday, 14 October 2019 03:25 (four years ago) link
Lucky Star is brilliant, as are Good Luck and Plug It In. I still think Kish Kash is their best album.
― kitchen person, Monday, 14 October 2019 03:37 (four years ago) link
yeah i was surprised when revisiting them for this poll just how much i preferred Kish Kash to Rooty, i thought it'd be much harder to pick between them
― ufo, Monday, 14 October 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link
That Spoon poll made no sense at all to me.

"everything hits at once" is good but "the beast and dragon adored" is the better opener
― ciderpress, Monday, 14 October 2019 03:53 (four years ago) link
I was too late to vote, but I definitely was gonna give points to hiphop and ymd. I couldn't decide on an aaliyah song and was gonna just vote for the album. It's such a shame it has been made to rot by the guy who owns the rights to the album being rereleased/on streaming sites.
― a hoy hoy, Monday, 14 October 2019 06:52 (four years ago) link
Happy that Los Campesinos placed as it was a last minute addition to my poll. Don't have too much indie in my tracks list but this is the kind I like, ragged and joyful.
― Dan Worsley, Monday, 14 October 2019 06:57 (four years ago) link
oh hey, the rollout. had you! me! dancing! fairly high, big shoutout to the first place voter

"Bay of Pigs" made my list. Great start so far.
― Simon H., Monday, 14 October 2019 07:56 (four years ago) link
Carl Craig's remix of "Relevee" was my #2, sad to see it place so low. Other than that, the results so far are great, I also voted for "Hip Hop", "So Weit Wie Noch Nie", and "We Need a Resolution". I hated "Where's Your Head At" back in the day for its "edgy" rock sound, but presumably there are better Basement Jaxx tracks still to come.
― Tuomas, Monday, 14 October 2019 08:02 (four years ago) link
Wondering where I'd heard that Jürgen Paape song before and just realised it was on the Erlend Øye DJ Kicks mix where he sings over the instrumental tracks.
Already two songs I would have voted for (Los Campesinos/Basement Jaxx) if I had noticed them on the nominations list. Imagine there'll be quite a few more

Nothing I've voted for so far (think Eple was lost in the last cut?) but loving it all so far anyway. The destroyer track is my favourite thing I hadn't heard so far. Oh, and EP version of The Modern Age is better than Hard To Explain, sorry.
