Pretty simple concept. So, what is your favorite NH song that crosses the double digit mark? ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Absolutely love all these, but Squarer For Maud is probably my favorite. Quite numinous. What an awesome poll. We'll see how many responses it gets.  |

It'll probably get more responses than any of my polls ever do.  I forgot all the choices, I'll look again and vote. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

If you want to wait til it falls to the second or third page, before voting to bump it up, please do. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Tough call.
While I love SFM (its a extremely close second), I must vote for the absolute beauty that is Tenemos Roads. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Indeed. Such lovely vocals on that one. Pity "Playtime" didn't quite make the cut (by 22 seconds). Such a brilliant, blistering fusion onslaught, that one. |

Probably my favorite female vocal performance in prog.
That album (Playtime) has really been growing on me lately. When I first heard it, wasn't that thrilled about it, but now...quite the opposite. And yeah...though can't have too much awesomeness in one poll. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Oh, I could fill up this thread gushing about NH. I'm an unabashed fanboy. But hopefully, others will chime in with some love. |

| Yeah, I actually need to re-listen to the albums, but from what I can recall, 'Tenemos Roads' is one of my faves. |

Awesome poll!
 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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| 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. |

I listened to all of these last week and i really like "Elephants" the best. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Elephants is my pick. It really sounds like trunks being played... ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Tenemos Roads for me. Great song!
