Poll: which song on Hackney Diamonds do you like best?
Oct 20^th, 2023 at 6:09am

Soo now that the album is out I thought we need a new poll in order to see which songs are the most well liked! To be quite honest, I listened to the whole album once earlier and I'm still utterly undecided about a favourite tune, I'll try to sort mt head out and write a review about what I think of the full songs later because after hearing the entire album versions my prior rating (of the radio show snippets) changed (only to the better)

Hahah, well top 3 would be great to know too, but I guess people could also just comment their top 3 or whatever Cheesy

oh that might make it easier for me as well, but tbh rn I love every song except Mess it Up which abboys me a bif, and Angry isn't that good compared to some others, I still wonder why they chose it as first single...maybe I just need to hear a good live version of it to change my mind, I didn't find a vid from last night yet with decent sound...

Too soon for sure...but also...a hard one to simply pick one...but I will try WHOLE WIDE WORLD...
puts s nice WIDE smile on my face...not understated, not over the top...its a simply a really good song
Really reminds me of the song/collab Iggy Pop did with the Teddybears a few years back, Punkrocker.

I do love...really love, the track order on this entire album. Especially the BMHO / WWW / DS...
like a well planned meal...the apps/cocktails...into the meal...and a nice dessert.

I think the intro already is hella iconic and has huge recognition factor

I think I can finally write down some form of ranking after listening to the album for basically 3 days straight now Cheesy

and I have identified 4 groups:

SSoH and Rolling Stone Blues are clearly in their entirely own league, they're exceptional, each a true masterpiece...but I cannot measure how much I love them by the amount I wanna listen to them because I feel if I overplay them they will lose their special magic...

so, in terms of favourites, simply measured by how often I want to play them, I'd say my top 5 are (in constantly varying order): WWW, Driving Me Too Hard, Depending on You, Dreamy Skies and Tell Me Straight...

Angry, Mess It Up and BMHO on the other hand I like (yes, even Mess It Up by now, except for the disco sounding chorus and bridge) but I don't need them on repeat all the time, so I'll skip them sometimes without feeling guilty xD

Live By the Sword and Get Close I like much better than the 3 aforementioned and they are both great songs but, personally, I also don't constantly need them on repeat, I'd feel guilty about skipping them, tho Grin
