ThisIsNowhere Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Just thought this would be an interesting poll. I'm pretty sure most Wilco fans would consider Impossible Germany their favorite song on Sky Blue Sky (although I'm probably wrong). So I was just wondering what Via Chicago's favorite song off of Sky Blue Sky was besides that masterpiece? edit: You're only allowed to add 10 answers to the poll, so I left off Leave Me Like You Found Me. Sorry to anyone who liked that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The guitar work on both IG and SWTS are highlights of the record for me, the latter being every bit as good as the former. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You Are My Face is the bestest. Hate It Here is the sentimental favorite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ordinary Beehive Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You Are My Face is the best song on Sky Blue Sky, followed by Impossible Germany & Please Be Patient With Me. edit: You're only allowed to add 10 answers to the poll, so I left off Leave Me Like You Found Me. Sorry to anyone who liked that song. Sexual Napalm is going to be pissed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 We should all be sorry for the people who love Leave Me Like You Found Me. I'd say You Are My Face is best, followed by Side With the Seeds, IG, then Hate it Here and Walken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Side with the seeds is probably one of Wilco's best songs of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I can't believe I'm the only one with a "Sky Blue Sky" vote. Oh, I see LouieB is just a "write in" and didn't vote in the poll. Oh, and for me it was a toss-up between "Sky Blue Sky" and "Side With The Seeds," but the former won out just by a inch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You Are My Face is the bestest. Hate It Here is the sentimental favorite. This! I especially like how "You Are My Face" quite often follows BBN in their shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 i think it's a great album...either way, side with seeds are my favorite. but, either way is such a great warm opener. very much in line with what jeff says in the dvd about just wanting to hear nice songs. 'maybe the sun will shine today." Sky Blue Sky.... LouieB that and patient with me are just classic tweedy songs. i'd love to hear tweedy do a solo album of songs like this.

MCHowdy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You Are My Face, followed by IG. Both are also amazing live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
double A-ron Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I can't even do the poll right, meant to pick SWS and instead got shake it off. I always like the seedy side of things best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Can't you delete your vote and try again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Honestly I was a little surprsied to see You Are My Face get so many votes. I would have figured Side With The Seeds and Hate It Here would have taken the top spots. That's all right though, it just shows how Wilco's work can be interpreted many different ways.

Guest Ordinary Beehive Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I would have been interested to see the results if the poll included Impossible Germany. I think YAMF might still win that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 a little surprised I'm the first to vote for Please be Patient with Me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ordinary Beehive Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I absolutely love Please Be Patient With Me, but it doesn't edge out YAMF for me. It was initially my favorite song on the album though. I was blown away by that song on the first listen. The rest had to grow on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plumplechook Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hanging chad alert! The poll is rigged because Impossible Germany is not on the list of songs to vote for. I demand a re-count, this time with all candidates on the ballot. (For the record, You Are My Face gets my vote). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barbkm Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ummmmm, this is hard I think Either Way and You Are My Face are in a tight competition for the top spot. Closing in on second is another tie - Side with Seeds and Shake It Off -- which is odd cos when it came out, these were my least favorite. But now I sing along quite loudly. "The rain applauds" is the best line on the album. Then On and On and On, cos I'm a sappy girl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I voted for Side with the Seeds, but I think it's telling how YAMF is blowing away the competition. Usually, the stronger an album is, the more dispersed the voting would be on favorite song. Weaker albums have more obvious results. For instance, I guarantee the voting would be a lot closer among all 11 songs on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as opposed to the two standard favorites here (IG and YAMF) running away with it.
