Dominika Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Honestly I'm not surprised that much with the results, however I didn't expect that Make You Happy will be somewhere at the end of the list. I quite like that song. I noticed the funny thing, the orchestra versions have higher ratings than remixes, with which I totally agree Thank you so much for the survey @giraffeandy, that was really interesting to take part in it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks for making this survey, @giraffeandy ,it was interesting And really difficult to rate each song, because most of them become so different when you hear them live comparing to the recorded version, and it's hard to be objective. Anyway, it was easy for me to choose the least favorite one in any possible version However, I am surprised to see SATS above Last Party .... and above many other great songs .... and at the same level as NPIH Really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it but I like the rest of the songs better. And Last Party is one of my favourites from the album (together with Good Guys, Hurts and Good Wife). So I understand your surprise. However, songs from NPIH have the best average rating so it's really close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Along with a lot of others) My least favorite song until now has the be Make You Happy though, I just... don't like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well, we're all different - it would be boring if we all liked the same. Make You Happy is one of my personal favourites, though I hated it when I first heard it. But as I realised what he was trying to do with the song, I really began to appreciate it. I was surprised Promiseland and Porcelain didn't score higher. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great that every song has some fans, there's no unloved song. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonyoulove Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I guess it doesn't really surprise me that some of my favorites are towards the bottom. Oh Girl You're the Devil, and Dr. John, are two of my favorites, but I didn't expect them to do well. But, Good Wife, and Lollipop, I'm genuinely surprised aren't higher. I suppose Lollipop suffers from people being sick of it at every concert? I'm surprised too at how high up Staring at the Sun is, partly because I thought I remembered it being not as well liked when the album came out. And I'm surprised the video for Popular Song isn't higher, because it just amuses me so much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised Promiseland and Porcelain didn't score higher. At the beginning I saw that Promiseland was in the first place, then it was for a long time second after No Place In Heaven... It also surprised me that it changed so much by the end since the rest remained more or less the same. However, the ratings were so similar that even one or two low ratings could cause the drop.

silver Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I remember we did a poll of the songs on TOOL and Stardust was far and away the favourite track - no-one could understand why it wasn't released as a single. But it hasn't scored very well here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting because also according to this poll: ...it doesn't seem at all that Good Guys was the favourite track from NPIH back then so I didn't expect it to win now even though I like it a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 UPDATE: I haven't closed the survey for new responses yet so there's a updated version (I didn't expect any new responses since there weren't any coming but yesterday 3 new did) – https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkhz02n9wnol650/Report Saved Report.pdf?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
