a POLLcard from where life is a thrill - Cardigans - Gran Turismo

I haven't seen them live but I don't necessarily think Gran Turismo is better as a studio album (minus obvious exceptions like "Erase/Rewind") -- "My Favorite Game" and "Hanging Around" are almost muffled on record

I seem to remember some magazine article about '90s UK TV music show The White Room, and both The Cardigans and The Smashing Pumpkins were interviewed because they were on the same episode.

The Cardigans were asked what it was like to play on the same show as The Smashing Pumpkins, and they replied "Ask them what it's like to play on the same show as The Cardigans"

So, the interviewer asked Billy Corgan this and the response? "What!? Are they huge!? Have we missed the boat, or what!?"

This has always been my least favourite Cardigans album. For some reason, I've just never connected with the second half. I'll give it another listen before voting. Erase/Rewind is the obvious choice just ahead of Higher and Explode.

Totally agree with the praise on this thread. Such a brilliant group that have aged so beautifully. Long Gone Before Daylight creeps up my favourite albums of all time list as the years go by. Also, agree with Boxedjoy about Super Extra Gravity. I remember rushing out to buy that on the day of release before work. There was absolutely no hype for it at all and HMV only had one copy in stock. Godspell, Diamonds and I Need Some Fine Wine are all incredible songs.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Gran Turismo is The GOAT.

I went with "Erase Rewind" because it's amazing but I feel like no one is going to vote in this and I should have went with a non-single.

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

Wow
