3rd Annual Australian Frank Black Countdown August 2003 - all involved parties rank EVERY released FB song from FB self/titled to the present - average ranks are calculated - beer (or suitable substitute) is added (mostly in drinking-game form - ie. rate a song well below its average and you drink a punishing amount), then sit back and enjoy a day of frank black....the only problem is quite often memory of the top songs is somewhat limited the next day

In my opinion, there's only one song that doesn't deserve a 10: Violet. The lyrics are kind of corny, as far as i'm concerned.

Song Of the Shrimp is great but so feckin sad! "Papa shake my hand" for God's sake! Damn, I'm welling up here! :-( Sometimes I just have to skip it but 10 for sure.
What's with Strange Goodbye? Is that Frank's mother singing? Tell her to take her walkman off!! Just kidding, it's his ex-wife Jean isn't it? - 6
Selkie Bride - 9
I burn today - 8

SSMVGD - 6
Honeycomb - 10
My life is in storage - 10
Atom in my heart - 10
Violet - 10
Sing For Joy is the best song on it - 10+
Well, that's my 2 cents. Scores will all be differant next week I'm sure.

I see Strange Goodbye has divided us! I love it, I think the singing from his ex is clearly weak in parts and I also don't think the song is particularly suited to Frank's voice, but the song itself is excellent - once we work it out properly my band's going to cover it. It was the first song I got stuck in my head after listening to the album and I still love it so it gets a 10 from me (perhaps only deserves a 9 but I want to prove a point).

Me too, but I got tired of it while the "less accessible" material on the album began to reveal itself to me.

Hi I tabulated the results. Sorry it took so long!

Here you go:

8.6 Selkie Bride
8.5 Honeycomb
8.3 Sing For Joy
8.0 Lone Child
7.8 My Life Is In Storage
7.8 Song Of The Shrimp
7.5 Atom In My Heart
7.5 I Burn Today
7.4 Strange Goodbye
6.8 SSMVGD
6.8 Go Find Your Saint
5.8 Another Velvet Nightmare
5.3 Dark End Of The Street
5.0 Violet

There were 14 votes for all but one song, which had 13. Typically, most votes were high, but each song had a few low votes that brought it down.

Since the sample size was so small, this survey isn't statistically significant. What this means is that these represent the thoughts of those that responded. It doesn't represent the whole fan base. It also means if for example, we had 30 responses the average results could be very different. But it definately was fun to see what us board members think!

If anyone wants to take a look at the spreadsheet and how I did this let me know :)

Hi Daisy Girl,

is there any correlation between where they are on the disc and their score (does'nt look like it). This might indicate if people tend to get sick of songs that are placed in certain positions on dics? I also agree that the sample size is very small. hard to draw any conclusions.

You know, that's a really good question lonley persuader. I will have to check into it in the next week or so. It will be definately interesting to find out.

By the way, if you have already responded above, can you please give me your top two FB albums?

Thanks!

Thanks
