Dosed off on this one... Still thinking, I mean.

Hmm, interesting, am I the first one to notice that none of your favorite tracks came from the last release of the group? And yet I find the first recording on that album to be one of the sickest (in a good sense) of them all...

Thanks... that's my vote then. I wasn't sure if it was on the first disc or second. Big smile

OK, wow. That's downright freaky. I just hit play on random shuffle mode on my iPod, and out of 151 possible tracks...

it was "Static".

It's got to be Static, the second track.

Moya - The first song from GY!BE I heard and like so many others here, it left me speechless - completely blown away. I have been a fan ever since hearing this song - there is no other group quite like GY!BE - weird and brilliant!

"Providence" - you never forget your first.

The first time I heard this song it actually left me speechless. There are very few things that have ever done that for me.

I totally agree with you... Is the only way for me to listen that magnificent band (one of my favourite's)... I have the feeling that every time i listen to them during the day (with all these noises of cars and stuff) i spoil their magic.. I dont know why, just a feeling

EDIT : ts,ts,ts...I forgot..I voted for Providence...This piece is a mind bomb..
 
Same here. And also i play GYBE while reading a book. This band have been the soundtrack of severals books i read.

That's definitely my favourite song from Yanqui U.X.O. What a great band Clap.

I didn’t vote myself as well – I want to give all these tracks a few good spins before I do, but at the moment I’m favoring Sleep I’d say.

I can't talk enough about how good is this band. Flawless beyond believe; but The Dead Flag Blues was the first thing from them I ever heard, so it is more a vote because of emotions; all GYBE is worthy, and it is impossible to define a best moment on their discography...

Very tough...BBF3, and all of Lift Your Skinny Fists and are competitros for the top, while Moya and much of Yanqui is also top notch. F#A# Infinity is good, but it's the least stunning and consistent.

It was a close vote for me between Storm and Static. Ended up voting for Static as I think Strom really could have been cut about five minutes short at the end.
