These are just the ones I'm particularly enjoying today. And my vote goes for Kiss Me, Son of God.

It was that or Museum I feel.

Both great, but only one vote.

I absolutely adore the clarinet solo in Reprehensible, but, being a brass player myself, I can't resist the horn section of Museum of Idiots. :rocks:

Sorry, Reprehensible... If Museum of Idiots wasn't there, you would have gotten my vote. :lol:

It just has to be Museum Of Idiots :music:

I'm not sure which version of Kiss Me... is referred to. There's one with violin? and another with accordian. Needless to say, I love the violin (hehehehehehe :D )

Yup. The one with the violin is referred to. But I do like the accordion one too - that lovely rit with the minor chord at the end...sigh

:halo:

I have to say Cowtown, partially because it's really unique and interesting, and also because I like being different. Not to say that Museum isn't superb.

Did Hugo Munday arrange O Do Not Forsake me? There's no place where they're given credit for arrangement in the John Henry booklet.

Hudson Shad sang O, Do Not Forsake Me. Hugo Munday is one of the baritone singers in Hudson Shad. I have no idea if they had any part in arranging it.

Hudson Shad is made up of: Peter Becker, Mark Bleeke, Hugo Munday, Wilbur Pauley, and William Douglas Vannice. Whee.

¡El gasp!

They both start with H, though; I was close.

for some reason I want to say "the guitar", mostly cuz i find that the best one to dance to. i just love the music. it's great. but i could be wrong. maybe i'll change my mind later

... Dancing to The Guitar? Never thought about that... Huh.

I'm starting to feel that I should have voted for Reprehensible; I just listened to Museum and Reprehensible and I kind of like the latter a bit more right now. It might just be because I haven't listened to it in a while. :huh: I can't change my vote though, so it doesn't matter. :lol:

mmmm sarcasim.

Can someone please explain to me what is so great about Museum Of Idiots? I haven't listened to it a lot... the first time I heard it I just wasn't drawn in. I have never really listened to it intently since then. Do you think it would be worth it to go back and check it out?

Yes I would, I didn't take to it at 1st. (I was too swamped with new songs at the time). I love it now, it's relaxing and takes the :censored: out every 'love' song, I think. No harm trying it again.

It's a lovely song, right enough.

But it's the arrangement that's so incredible. The brass section is just used in so many different ways all in the one song - jazz, classical, brass band stylee etc etc.

It's precocious, I tell you, precocious!!!!! :banana:

I concur. The brass is wonderous, and it's simple little melodies like this one that are the most apt to be caught in the heads of the listener. Just look at pop music, or even commercials for instance. A stupid little jingle, a disturbingly catchy cadence; it's amazing what music gets stuck in the head and how.

Go Museum of Idiots! :rocks:

"Idiots", it turned out better on the album than from the demo.

Though, I have to say, I find Ana Ng and Poison Flowers very musically cool.

And that weird backwards thing they did in Dinner Bell. Gives me nightmares, but still kinda neat.

Ooo! How can the backwards in Dinner Bell give you nightmares? I LOVE it

I never read this before. I hadn't voted. Never thought about it before. I'd just like to know how you got these choices? Did you just pick random songs? I mean, they're good ones..but there are others I think would've been better..


But, I voted for Bells are Ringing. Just love that song. Now I wanna go get it and listen to it..

I was just thinking about Shoehorn with Teeth. Do any of you :banana: highly knowledgeable guys think it's got any musical sophistication?

While managing to not be too musically complicated, Shoehorn With Teeth is melodically superior, it seems, because of the Johns' wonderful harmonic singing. They're great together.

I voted the end of the tour

I went for 'other' - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) is my favourite arrangement. It has more than one featured instrument,which I always like, and the phrasing is kind of shared out between the violin, accordion and percussion.
