It appears the Vines have a new fan favorite - one from their latest album, no less. happy.gif Thanks to all those who voted, and we'll do a game similar to this soon.

1. Spaceship - 94pts.
2. Winning Days - 64 pts.
3. Homesick - 38 pts.
4. In the Jungle/Mary Jane (tie) - 34 pts.
5. Vision Valley - 30 pts.
6. Autumn Shade II - 24 pts.
7. 1969 - 17 pts.
8. Amnesia/Don't Go (tie) - 11 pts.
9. Nothin's Comin' - 8 pts.
10. Ms. Jackson - 5 pts.
11. I'm Only Sleeping - 3 pts.

I said it before, but it's worth saying again: it is ridiculous that 'I'm Only Sleeping' and 'Ms. Jackson' are on there, and it is even more ridiculous that 'Give Up, Give Out, Give In' is not.

But I am pleased that 'Winning Days' claimed its rightful place in the top three. smile.gif

I voted for Spaceship. I'm happy.

And you call this a democracy?

Well i think 'Dont Go' should of been on there. mellow.gif
But i totally agree. I'm Only Sleeping' and 'Ms. Jackson' are cover songs, so you cant really count them. huh.gif

P.S. I didnt vote at all. tongue.gif

i'm with tienah on 'give up give out give in' - it's one of craig's finest moments as a songwriter and singer. wub.gif

as for 'spaceship,' i think it's overrated. IPB Image

I can see your point. I didn't vote for it because as much as I love it, it is too new for me to dismiss songs I have loved for years in order to rank it in my top three. My choices were very deliberate.

I also think . Ms. Jackson and I'm Only Sleeping shouldn't of been on the list. Good to see Amnesia make the top 10. Best song ever.

Obviously, this entire poll revolves around opinion, and you should respect other people's opinions, and if you didn't vote you certainly shouldn't be trying to correct the results.

it wasn't even in the top 5 of VV's run-off. http://thevines.forumsunlimited.com/index....topic=4232&st=0

i thought 'winning days' ( wub.gif ) would walk away with the whole thing, but 'spaceship' seemed to be everyone's top 1, 2 or 3 song. everyone but me and tienah, i guess. laugh.gif

yes! Spaceship wub.gif

'Winning Days' is number one regardless of poll results. It's Craig's favourite. smile.gif

No one is crazy for having an opinion. And no one said that they disliked 'Spaceship'.

Feh
I'm glad none of their poppy/radio hits made it on there.

That was his favourite HE song, I believe. That and 'Highly Evolved'. He's said that he will probably never write a better song than 'Winning Days' though.

He actually said that? huh.gif
wonkytooth
i remember him saying something like that too - only i can't remember which article. maybe one of the guitar magazine ones? confused0006.gif

of course he said that before he wrote any of the songs for VV, so he may have changed his mind since - i mean, this is craig we're talking. tongue.gif
clash4life
I wouldn't be suprised if he said that. Winning days is really good both musically and lyrically. But also I have to agree... it is Craig were talking about here.
aplus1707
I wouldn't doubt that Winning Days is his favorite... it's mine too wink.gif

But 'Winning Days' was already an old song when he said that. Almost all - if not all - of the other songs from WD were written after it, and probably a good part of HE was as well. But you have a point: this is Craig we're talking. smile.gif

That's one of the ones where he alludes to it. Another is, "I think that's the best song we have." That's from Blunt, March 2004. He once said that it was "probably the best song we'll ever do" though; those words, or something very similar. I can't find it, but I know he said it somewhere...
dr robert
Yes I do remember that too, can't think where I did hear/read/see it though...

im glad Spaceship did win, it definitly my favorite song ever.

the funniest thing happend last night, i told mum what songs one and she though we were all weeners, her fav is Outtathaway, and she says how you can rock out to it...so she started humming it and jumping around, and she like jumped and pushed off a chair, sliped and fell backwards and sild on her ass, i was torn between being worried and pissing myself laughing, but once it sunk in i laughed so much! laugh.gif it was one of the funniest things ive ever seen! laugh.gif
Helter Skelter
^ my moms dancing is enough to make anyone want to kill themselves with embarrassment. Thats so funny though, with yours. She sounds like a cool mom to like the Vines. On their fast songs, my mom is always like "why are they screaming at me?"
littlemissjoey
Spaceship totally deserves the #1 spot. wub.gif I'm also glad my two favourites - Homesick and In The Jungle - made it into the top 5. I always thought I was one of the few who loved ITJ that much. Glad to see I'm not. biggrin.gif

This was an awesome game. Thanks Jen! yahoo.gif
mia
laugh.gif yeah my mum likes the fast songs, shes pretty good with music, shes always saying how shes glad that i listen to good music. her favorite bands are, Powderfinger, Greenday, Incubus and the Vines. oh and she fansies Jack White laugh.gif
