Would appreciate it if you posted in the thread for the final round rather than this one as that one is the one that needs to be bumped and people are seeing this one instead. Thanks!

Please vote for your THREE least favourite tracks.

Do, Screwdriver and I Fought Piranhas have been eliminated.

Just a quick question before I go - for the next few polls, is there any way of doing them without creating quite as many threads as I have for this album? Any suggestions are welcome.


ELIMINATED SO FAR:
Slicker Drips
Little People
Suzy Lee
Broken Bricks
One More Cup Of Coffee
Jimmy The Exploder
Wasting My Time
When I Hear My Name
St James Infirmary Blues
Do
Screwdriver
I Fought Piranhas

You could just change the first post after each round. That way you can have all rounds in one thread.

I tried that with Round One and Round Two of this poll, but it stopped people from voting for some reason? It was really weird. Thank you though!

Also (not related to the thread discussion but still), I'm a bit surprised Sugar... has made it this far and Screwdriver hasn't, I always considered the latter the fan favourite from this album, and tbh I was fairly certain it would win before I started the poll. Obviously that's not the case now.

Then maybe someone could merge all the threads into one after it's done.
I'm upset that Suzy Lee is gone.

That's a good idea, actually. I wouldn't really mind all the threads being deleted at the end, actually. As long as I get records of the votes.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

I can't believe I Fought Piranhas is out, that's insane! :shock: Well, it's not, it's just individual taste, but still . . . That was the song I was praying to hear on the Lazaretto tour, and was ecstatic to finally get my wish.

That's why I'm incapable of voting in these polls, it makes no sense to be negative about any song on an album where I love every song, far more than I do thousands and thousands of other songs by other artists. "Least favorite" is so relative in that context.

(Screwdriver???)

Agreed. Hands down one of my favorite White Stripes tracks.

What about it? It was eliminated last round if you were wondering that. If you were talking about my comment that's purely because I see it mentioned a lot compared to other songs, not to mention it appears on a lot of the Vault Live LPs.


Also, since this poll looks unlikely to change now as it's so late, I've started the final round.

I was just expressing my amazement that it would have been voted out--I hadn't even noticed that before, as I was so shocked that Piranhas was gone! I guess I have a completely different take on this album to a lot of folks.

Yeah to my feeling all the good songs get voted out the quickest. and now with this last round again. Cannon and Astro left. Either of them wouldn't be my most favorite song of the album I would choose.
