ELEPHANT - KNOCKOUT POLL - BALL AND BISCUIT WINS!

Post by pigammon »

Please vote for your least favourite track.

If anybody gets angry over any poll, it'll be this one. Elephant is obviously the most famous album by any of Jack's groups and contains some of his most acclaimed songs to date. I think I can guess which songs will make it to the final round *cough*ball and biscuit*cough* but anything can happen!

ELIMINATED SO FAR:

ROUND ONE

Seven Nation Army :shock:
In The Cold, Cold Night
It's True That We Love One Another

ROUND TWO
You've Got Her In Your Pocket
Hypnotize
The Air Between My Fingers
Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine

ROUND THREE

There's No Home For You Here
I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart

ROUND FOUR

Black Math

THROUGH TO THE FINAL:

Astro
Truth Doesn't Make A Noise
Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
Party Of Special Things To Do

For lack of a better word/phrase, HOLY SH.T

In The Cold, Cold Night, It's True That We Love One Another and, to my shock, horror and disbelief, SEVEN NATION ARMY have been eliminated.
When I said this poll would be interesting voting off the Stripes' most successful song wasn't quite what I had in mind... :shock:

Please vote for your three least favourite tracks.

Good.
I'm glad Seven Nation Army got the boot, I'm sick of him closing sets with it.
Or I was.

To be honest I'm not really a fan either, I'm just a bit shocked that song out of all of them is the one with the most votes. Hardest Button To Button is the one that does it for me (at least from this album, GBMS is my favourite)

I didn't read the rules. I voted for my three favorite tracks. The results are tainted. haha

If it helps, my favorite tracks out of the ones listed (and the ones I voted for, derp) were:

You've Got Her In Your Pocket
Ball and Biscuit
Girl You Have No Faith In Medicine

Thanks for letting me know, I'll change the results when the poll finishes accordingly. :)

Cool. And even though I love every track on this album, if I had to choose my least favorite three they'd begrudgingly be:

Hypnotize
Little Acorns
The Air Between My Fingers

Some more tracks are gone and I can't be bothered to check what they are.

Please vote for your TWO least favourite tracks.

Wow...shocked at how this one is shaking out. Remember folks, "least favorite track!" ;-)

Unsurprisingly, Ball And Biscuit wins and goes through to the final alongside Astro, Truth Doesn't Make A Noise, Dead Leaves and POSTTD.

We had quite a few new people joining us for this poll (in the second round we got to 76 votes!), so many thanks if you did, and thank you to the people who have been voting from the start. Now go and vote on GBMS!
