VU and Nico Survivor!
 
This had to come sooner or later.

I pick the obvious choice, Heroin. But There She Goes Again is more than a worthy mention. However, if I had room in the poll, my number 1 choice would be European Son (that song kicks ASS!)

acousticrock87 08.18.2006 07:32 PM

Wait are we voting the one we like, or the one we want to get rid of?

DemonBox 08.18.2006 07:33 PM

I went with heroin to.

LittlePuppetBoy 08.18.2006 07:33 PM

uh.......shit. just vote for the one you like. The rest will be eliminated.

atari 2600 08.18.2006 07:34 PM

oops, I voted Run Run Run by accident then.

It's too tough to pick a favorite song. This is my second favorite album by anyone.

Yes Heroin is a really good song. The style and instrumentation go well with the subject matter and create a really good effect.

Who needs drugs? Listening to this song has the same feel.

!@#$%! 08.18.2006 07:35 PM

come on-- this is too tough. yes european song should probably win. oh i especially love the "noise" part towards the end. but how could you vote any one song OUT? i hereby quit-- it's like asking to kill one of your children.

toxic johnny 08.18.2006 07:35 PM

BA'sDS...

acousticrock87 08.18.2006 07:37 PM

I think Heroin and European Son are my favorites, but that's too easy. Venus in Furs.

atari 2600 08.18.2006 07:38 PM

He forgot European Son on the poll. I guess there's only 10 lines that one can use.

!@#$%! 08.18.2006 07:39 PM

he wants it to win. i don't blame him. that album kills.

I wanted to put that song in, but.......not enough room in the poll. :(

I can only put 10!

LittlePuppetBoy 08.18.2006 07:42 PM

I hope at least 1 person votes for Sunday Morning. That's a damn nice song too. I would wake up in the morning with that song stuck in my head anyday.

acousticrock87 08.18.2006 07:42 PM

You should have left out I'll Be Your Mirror. Every time it comes on I think, "Wait what song is this...Oh, it's that one..."

atari 2600 08.18.2006 07:42 PM

you missed my edit

I love Nico's I'll Be Your Mirror on the album. Unlike Femme Fatale & There She Goes Again, it's better than the Lou versions live. They didn't even attempt to do All Tomorrow's Parties without her.

Live, All Tomorrow's Parties, Run, Run, Run & Heroin are the best. On this record, I'm Waiting for The Man, Venus in Furs, & Heroin are the best with European Son hot on their heels.

!@#$%! 08.18.2006 07:44 PM

"i'll be your mirror... reflect what you are"

ha ha it's a bit cheesy yes but so awkwardly so it ends up sounding good

compare with lou reed's "why can't i be good" & discuss...

Though it's not a bad song, I do think it is the weakest on that album.

!@#$%! 08.18.2006 07:57 PM

yeah but isn't survivor about voting OUT? if so, something safe from the first round like heroin should have stayed in.

btw i love the lyrics of "waiting for the man"

hey white boy,,, what you're doing uptown...

^^ awesome

alteredcourse 08.18.2006 08:47 PM

venus in furs .
ill be your mirror makes me cry and get ultra mega depressed . not sure why , as the lyrics are really very lovely .

m^a(t)h 08.18.2006 08:53 PM

sunday morning is so beautiful and nice


i sort of hate heroin, i dont know why...

GeneticKiss 08.18.2006 09:18 PM

I told you guys polls wouldn't work for survivor threads...

Are you too lazy to keep track of the winners/losers yrself?

This isn't a survivor thread anyway...in a survivor thread, you vote for yr least fave, slowly eliminating songs/choices one by one until only one remains; this is just a poll on which song you like best.

OH, I thought we were voting one off so I voted Run, Run, Run.

acousticrock87 08.18.2006 11:31 PM

I think we'll let it slip. Just don't mess up on the government-approved 'Should We Nuke Iraq' poll.

cosmokramer 08.19.2006 04:08 AM

i voted heroin
though i love the whole album
and probably would have voted for European Son had it been there

Venus in Furs is pretty damn good too though
and so is all tomorrows parties...well so is femme fatale...
