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

Not a bad top five, even the lots of gray part.

This is nerdy but I'm going to program my CD player to play the poll results in ascending order, ending with "A Forest", and see how that works out. I love almost all of these songs.
Votes for every single song.

I think "A Night Like This" might have gathered a few more votes if not for the invention of the saxophone.

A Forest is my least favourite of all these. I think I've been scarred by sitting through 25 minute live versions.

Yeah I'm a bit puzzled by these results. Only one vote for "Night Like this"?; OTOH, it's nice to see how evenly spread the votes are.

"Night Like this" one vote saxophone

'a night like this' is beautiful and magnificent. even the sax sounds alright in it.

and 'other voices' is right there at the bottom too? i prefer it to 'primary' as far as the represented tracks from faith go.

Didn't most people have the cassette of this at the time? Which wouldn't have had the non single tracks like PfT, OV and ANLT on it. Anyway the B sides on the cassette version are better. 'A Few Hours After This' number 1 forever in an alternative universe.

I certainly did. I think I played the video more though.
The next video on tried to repeat the informal approach with bits of "video diary" between, but they made the mistake of making them too long, and, well, dull.

I didn't bother 'cos I already had all the singles (and had probably taped most of the videos off the telly!)
― Stewart Osborne, Thursday, 13 March 2008 11:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I had the cassette forever precisely because of the B-sides.

Yeah - same as 'Concert'

Is this the first album tracks poll where every song got a vote?!?
― zaxxon25, Thursday, 13 March 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Everything got a vote on the Portishead S/T poll, didn't it?
― HI DERE, Thursday, 13 March 2008 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
still the best comp
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 22 June 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
or single disc best of, whatever
It covers the best era of the band, too. 1978-1986 > 1987-1993 > 1994-present.
