Awesome poll! Clap National Health is one of my favourite bands. I love the second album (Of Queues And Cures) especially.
 
As for the poll: I subscribe for 100% what zachfive has said:

Man it's been too long since i've listened to NATIONAL HEALTH.I decided last week i'm taking their first two cds down south along with HATFIELD AND THE NORTH's two when we go on holidays. Anyway from what i remember "Squarer For Maud" and "Tenomos Roads" were the two that stood out.I chose the latter.

Squarer for Maud, closely followed by the other 6 options.

Went with Squarer for Maud.  Binoculars loses momentum for a while in the middle, but overall a very beautiful piece.  Amazing band, packed the gloomy Squarer, the quirky Collapso, the warm Binoculars and the groovy Dreams Wide Awake all into one album.  I like Queues and Cures much more than the debut, which was less focussed compositionally imo (though had arguably better keyboard work from Stewart). Also, don't fancy Amanda Parson's vocals much.  Oh, and I love the way they reference Coltrane on Squarer for Maud, very subtly at first and then comes the part which screams out A Love Supreme.

Elephants is my pick. It really sounds like trunks being played...
