prince of the growl is on the prowl: LL COOL J 'ALL WORLD' poll

btw i am refusing to vote in this on the grounds of ridiculous impossibility.

the first 11 are all the greatest song ever recorded, and the ones after that aren't bad.

Tipsy OTM, but I managed to vote for "Rock the Bells."

Going Back To Cali
Jingling Baby
Mama Said Knock You Out
Doin' It

I realize I respond to all these polls like this but oh fuck

I'll go with "Jinglin'", just cause I've heard it most recently.

"I'm That Type of Guy" is very missing from this.

Yeah.

That got played a lot on my hometown radio even in the mid-'90s when he was hitting with "Doin' It" and all that stuff.

I wish I had seen him a couple of years ago when he played the Showbox in Seattle. Saw him and even met him before, but that show had to have killed and I WASN'T THERE.

I hear it occasionally (along with a bunch of the rest of this stuff) on kube's old school hour. I approve of the use of suggestively empty space and "breakfast, lunch, dinner, and breakfast" and winged monkey chants.

"defrost it and season it" <-- weirdest euphemism ever

ok i think i've settled on "cali." it's kind of a rosetta stone of cool.

"Jingling Baby", been in my head all week so I voted for it

jingling bump

is the "rock the bells" on this the 12" or lp version?

I'm probably voting for "jack the ripper" anyway but just thought to ask

I once did "i'm bad" karaoke in tokyo

tokyo, japan

I highly recommend this

it's the single edit, not the 12-inch. more's the pity.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

I would like to point out that I have been otm in this thread.

f'r real tho

yes

godspeed = 90 votes
LL = 8 votes
ILM = you suck

obv. this album is great and I stand by my "Jingling Baby" vote but despite the awesomeness of everything on it I keep noticing what's missing; for instance it badly lacks "Six Minutes of Pleasure" which is an utterly excellent LL slow jam. Ridiculous turn-out, I blame it on the start of summer or something (or maybe he's not big in the UK?).

i was out of the country and offline when this poll happened but it's not like 1 more vote would've helped the turnout that much. wtfffffffffffff

The poll was pitched and done in like 24 hours, I don't even remember fucking seeing it, let alone voting in it.

I would have voted for "Rock The Bells"

yeah but put up a Pablo Honey poll for 24 hours and it'd get more votes than this

i would vote for Rock The Bells too. or Jinglin or Mama Said or Around The Way or Doin' It.

i hate to say it but 2nd place for me...

i was at the mall, sippin on a milkshake... playin the wall, takin a break

The poll was pitched and done in like 24 hours, I don't even remember fucking seeing it, let alone voting in it.

i know, i thought 3 days would be enough for an LL poll. like, i thought it would be all, "fuck yeah LL!"

oh well.

also this ...

or maybe he's not big in the UK?

... might be true. i don't know.

Why were "I'm That Type of Guy" and "Six Minutes of Pleasure" omitted?

mighta got a vote if i'd-a seen this

don't call it a comeback!

if Tom Morello woulda called him instead of Cornell...

OTM

Why were "I'm That Type of Guy" and "Six Minutes of Pleasure" omitted?

because he has too much awesomeness to fit on an 80-minute cd, that's why.

i am all in favor of someone doing a more comprehensive LL poll. this was one of those 3-minute "hey let's poll this greatest-hits album" jobs.

LL POLL J

smooth LL poll would be rad too: "I Need Love", "Six Minutes of Pleasure", "Doin' It", "Hey Lover", etc.

^poll results: Doin' It gets 14 votes, Need Love gets 3, everything else gets 0.
