xpost from the thread about surprising songs that are a band's most streamed ... for Low it's Lullaby. 18.5 million views on YT. Tons of comments in Turkish. The melancholic beauty seems to resonate.

My heart says Waltz.
My soul says Nothing But Heart.
My brain can't decide between the two.

wish this poll wasn't just limited by the length of the track. Silver Rider is only 5:03 minutes long but is truly epic and is one of my favorite ever Low songs
voted for Broadway (So Many People)

I would vote for one of the long slow early live versions of Lullaby over the album track, but as it is I'm going with From Your Place On Sunset.

Will I be the only vote for The Lamb?

Nothing But Heart is the ultimate Low epic for me. And as much as Nels Cline kills it on that, I've seen them do it live a couple of times and it was still incredible.

down is the ultimate dirge from the first LP and still reaches a darkness untouched by anything thereafter until curtain maybe...

Voted for Down by the River. The way Mimi's vocals emerge out of 6 minutes of ambient sludge is so striking and beautiful. Like it's the opposite structure of Days Like These which has beautiful harmonies at the beginning and then ends with a couple of minutes of blissed out ambient sounds.

Just heard Curtain Hits the Cast for the first time last week - definitely my favorite of the early albums so far. "Waltz" is an incredible song, so massive and cavernous. I lose track of time listening to it. Glad that I didn't vote in this poll earlier!

"Nothing But Heart" is also amazing

iirc we cut out the noise guitar intro and the drone outro, which shortened it almost a minute and a half
