I Heard You Polling - The Yo La Tengo Poll Results Thread. (ILM Poll #61)

http://wfpk.org/wp-content/uploads/yo-la-tengo-fade.jpg

So I received 33 ballots in total, 27 for albums. It was as massive as hearing Spec Bebop for the first time (do you remember?). As I said earlier, I'll start this afternoon with albums and covers. Then we will roll the (45) songs over the course of the week, ending Thursday. Clemenza prepared something awesome for the songs. A huge thank you for Clemenza and Bee OK for providing patience and support for the poll. I feel like I'm part of the ilx family now.

I do not use Spotify so if somebody could volunteer for it later that would be awesome.

I have to confess, for the first 2 years of listening to Yo La Tengo (right when Summer Sun was released) I was certain Ira was James and James was Ira. I didn't check for very long.

Here we go!

I didn't vote for album...Painful, probably, then Fade. I do like The Sounds of the Sounds of Science, which Christgau slammed. My favourite songs are distributed among almost every album.

Then comes the huge point jump...

May I suggest putting the titles above the pictures before you get to the main part of the poll? Just in case the image links disappear in the future (and for those browsing with images turned off). Thanks....!

Sure thing!

Can someone edit the titles into the precedent albums please? It would be very appreciated.

Only question is the order, I voted And Then Nothing... #1, not that you can go wrong with any of the others.

#3. 152 points. 3 1st places
Painful
http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/albums/covers/other//YoLaTengo_Painful(LP).jpg

and 25 votes.

always interested to see how closely favorite album correlates with first heard

xp that was my first, but not my #1

we know where this is going

My first YLT was I Can Hear The Heart. Went back and forth between Painful and And Then Nothing...
really when I went back Popular Songs seems the only out and out bust, and even then I think Avalon made my top 10 tracks.

I Can Hear the Heart my first as well. Then Summer Sun. Both made my ballot.

Really glad The Sounds of Sounds of Science made it. One of the underrated YLT records, gorgeous gorgeous jams.

You Can Have It All (And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out)
(George McCrae)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsQW7jZJY9s

Aside from #1 & #3, I am 100% on board with these covers results!

I voted for:
"Oklahoma USA" - Kinks
"I Threw It All Away" - Dylan
"Yellow Sarong" - The Scene Is Now
"It's All Right The Way That You Live" - VU
"Griselda" - Pete Stampfel

Voted for You Can Have It All in the main tracks poll. Glad the Sandy Denny placed so high, it was my last cut on covers.

1 You Tore Me Down Flamin Groovies
2 It's ChristmasTime Sun Ra
3 Gentle Hour Snapper
4 For Shame of Doing Wrong Richard & Linda Thompson
5 Ashes on the Ground Jad Fair

Songs tomorrow, I'll only be able in the early afternoon that being said.

Didn't vote, but wow. I can't believe the "Speeding Motorcycle" cover couldn't crack the top 10.

Also, their cover of Blondie's "Dreaming" is superb.

They have so many great covers. I am surprising either Needle of Death and Be Thankful For What You've Got.

Dump's "Raspberry Beret" is excellent--almost put that on my regular ballot.

I'll bring in more stats tomorrow.

"Tom Courtenay" was a complete surprise to me. I wasn't even remotely aware that was a key YLT song.

Another huge thanks to Clem and Bee OK.

And of course thank you to anyone who participated! Sorry for the endless typos. Dyslexia at work. I'm still pretty damn proud.

I wish the text on the images had been sharper...I don't why they weren't. Anyway, I figure this was the least contentious countdown ever. Can you imagine two Yo La Tengo fans getting into a heated argument?

VHS thanks for running this-and Clemenza these images were so great. Thanks again.

Y'all I think Fade is a good album, truthfully above the overly long I'm Not Afraid Of You...

1 Paul Is Dead Electr-O-Pura
Our Way To Fall
Pablo And Andrea
You Can Have It All
Sudden Organ
6 Before We Run Fade
Deeper Into Movies
Big Day Coming (slow)
Today is the Day (rock)
10 Spec Bebop I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

Let's Save Tony Orlando's House
Tom Courtenay
23 Let's Be Still Summer Sun
Little Eyes
25 Five-Cornered Drone (Crispy Duck) May I Sing with Me

Not surprised at the top 5, but a little dismayed at the high placings of Summer Sun and ATNTIIO tracks. I think what I love about YLT doesn't match up with the aspects they valued/tried to focus on the most in their own work.

great poll!

love deeper into movies, they've just done another version of it for their new album - www.vulture.com/2015/06/yo-la-tengo-premiere-deeper-into-movies.html

thx VHS, Clemenza!

Pablo and Andrea was my #1

― JoeStork, Thursday, June 4, 2015 7:05 PM (2 hours ago)

Deeper into Movies was mine.

― Van Horn Street, Thursday, June 4, 2015 7:05 PM (2 hours ago)

uh... Deeper Into Movies was my #1 vote too and the results said it there was only one #1 vote for it... ?

Welp, now I think my ballot wasn't counted, but here it is (note to all the matador-n00bz: lots of great 80s tracks here y'all should check out):

^ This.

Seems my only tracks to miss out were two covers I should have just moved across to that sub-poll, plus

Shaker
Mushroom Cloud of Hiss
Beanbag Chair
Superstar-Watcher
Spec Bebop
Here to Fall

cool poll, feels like my ballot isn't super contiguous with the consensus in that I favor non-album tracks except for the big two albums

Night Falls On Hoboken

The Whole Of The Law
Stockholm Syndrome
Don't Say A Word

I did a 100-favorite-songs list on Facebook a few years ago, and "Jellyfish" was in my Top 10; considered it for #1 here.

1. “Moby Octopad”
2. “Satellite”
3. “How Some Jellyfish Are Born”
4. “Blue Line Swinger”
5. “I’ll Be Around”
6. “Positively Jeff Oliphant” (Dump)
7. “I Heard You Looking”
8. “Detouring America with Horns”
9. “Sudden Organ”

Was also lucky enough to see them perform the whole album live, with the films projected alongside.

Glad to see some Before We Run votes.

There was a few SOSOS placings.

how was it??!

what I have learned here is that I like YLT's covers and instrumentals much more than most people seem to

(xpost) It was something to see--very contemplative, very much like what I imagine a '60s Warhol-type mixed-media happening to be. Some or all of the films are online:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Jean+Painlev%C3%A9

After the show, everyone autographed a vinyl copy of And Then Nothing... I'd bought that day.

thanks for the poll, vhs and clemenza. here is my song ballot. bold titles didn't make it into the top 45. could you please post the complete results (or at least the top 45 in a list), that would be cool.

1. Blue Line Swinger (Electr-o-pura)
2. Today Is the Day (Summer Sun)
3. Flying Lesson (Hot Chicken #1), (Electr-o-pura)
4. Always Something (May I Sing with Me)

24.Isolation Tank (They Shoot, We Score)
25.Double Dare (Painful)

Thanks a lot!
Fantastic results for the most part. Slightly dismayed by the lack of pre electr-o-pura stuff. But I didn't vote for much of it either, so what can you do?

1. Tom Courtenay (Electr-o-pura)
2. Let's Save Tony Orlando's House
3. Stockholm Syndrome
4. You Can Have It All
5. Blue Line Swinger (Electr-o-pura)
6. Sudden Organ
7. Detouring America With Horns
8. Damage
9. Shaker
10. Did I Tell You (Fakebook)
11. Autumn Sweater
12. Our Way to Fall
13. What Can I Say
14. Periodically Double or Triple
15. Satellite
16. Shadows
17. I Heard You Looking
18. (Straight Down To The) Bitter End
19. Little Eyes
20. Black Flowers
21. Moby Octopad
22. Here to Fall
23. Lewis
24. Alydia
25. The Whole of the Law

(xpost) I can post the top 45 later today, but VHS would have to put up the full results.

I never thought to check They Shoot, We Score, which I have--some of the Old Joy stuff on there is excellent.

I didnt vote bcz the only album I'm super-familiar with is Electr-o-pura (even though Blue Line Swinger is still my favorite song of all time) but here have this: European stoner metal band doing a YLT tribute on the last thing they released before breaking up. Obv the drummer is stiff compared to Georgia (what drummer isn't?) and the guitarist can't wig out like Ira (only a few can) but I was still struck at how well they nailed it against the odds:

https://youtu.be/DBE1oIlUO4A

there is a new album coming in august. a kind of sequel to fakebook. aquarium drunkard has the details including two mp3s.

Here are the Top 45. I left things with the numbers that VHS passed on to me. I suspect he's right that some ranked ballots--the ones where people didn't actually fill in the points themselves--were counted as unranked. I say that because that's what I did; I ordered my ballot but didn't fill in the corresponding points, and my #1 ("Moby Octopad") wasn't noted either, until I noticed myself. If this is true, I'm sure a few songs would have shifted around, possibly even at the top. But that's better than if the ballots had been missed altogether. And by and large, the world goes on as before.

Sorry I missed this poll, but what a nice invitation to listen to the old records again. I would have said 1) Electropura 2) Heart Beating as One 3) Nothing Turned itself etc.

Did anyone remark on the fact that on the list of songs on the back of Electro-Pura, the times are all messed up (deliberately, I'm sure): So that the 9 minute "Blue Line Swinger" is listed at being 3+? Pretty funny.

I'm back. Canadian forests don't have wifi. Rest of the list.

A FB friend just posted this photo. Because he won't see it, I'll cut-and-paste my comment here (assuming a real name is okay when he posts under his real name): "Raymond Cummings left Facebook, so we're putting you in charge of Yo La Tengo album covers now."
