Ok, I've been trying to come up with a tracklist (still) for a mix CD to initiate a few nay-saying friends into the world of solo FB. I'm still having trouble narrowing it down. Instead of having people post their suggestions, I made this handy-dandy little poll where you can vote for your very favorite FB songs. After about two or so weeks, I'll take the top 20, reverse the order and call it something along the lines of "The Top 20 Reasons That Frank Black Rocks Your F'ing Face Off" or something equally clever. ANny help/votes would be greatly appreciated. Cast them here: http://drumz.best.vwh.net/mp/artists/frank/
Thanks. This could either be super-interesting... or just so-so.

For some reason, the page isn't loading properly for me. I can't get the pull-down menus for the votes. They show up on other pages on the same site, so I don't know what the problem is. Is anyone else having the same problem?

| There are no b-sides on the list. I think you should allow "Living On Soul" and "Pan American Highway" to at least have the possibility of getting on your mix CD. |

| I voted for every one. Fun, though the results seem a little weird to me (So. Bay is #6 and Ten Percenter is #81????) |

I managed to get Pistolero on top! But it's a shame that FBs first album is at the bottom of the album-list now.

Massif Centrale number one?

Sorry. I tried to make my vote, but I can't remember all those songs to make a good rating. Could it be changed to a 20 song selection?

You're Such A Wire is last just because it's the worst song ever written by Frank.

The Three Injustices:
Frank's first solo album deserves a better standing than third last.
San Antonio does not belong in the top 10 FB songs of all time.
I Could Stay Here Forever is not one of FB's weakest songs. I suspect that voter's confused it and Blast Off and would be much happier if they were to switch positions.

Cool poll, i rated all tunes, FB solo and SMYT i thought would have been higher. Tossed last, come on!! Tossed rocks.
Funny how people differ on fave songs, was expecting Los Angeles to be No.1 but no it was TX which i love as well but my number one would have to be FU MANCHU or is it EVERYTHING IS NEW, damn you Marc, a riot will surely ensue!! |

I'm not saying I don't like San Antonio, but as a top 10 or even top 20 song?! Much less number one!!! FB has many far superior tracks. It's not even my favourite on Devil's Workshop.

The top 20 is currently quite great actually. It'd make a hell of a CD, except that FB&TC, Pistolero and Cult of Ray aren't represented.

It is pretty good, but I would probably remove San Antonio and Blast Off...
Maybe replaced with So. Bay and End of Miles? It has gotten a lot better since more people started voting though.

I'm pretty surprised about the results thusfar as well. I figured that "Manitoba" would have made a much stronger showing. And, c'mon... what about FB&TC's??? Is that record chopped liver folks?

Nice idea, this vote.
Just did it.
With "Freedom rock" at the top cos, even if I really like everything FB does, I think TOTY rules !

And I'm still not understanding why FB fans so much dislike COR ?
That's really a big mystery to me ... even the instrumentals are great (from my point of view).

I voted, but I really couldn't bring myself to give any song less than a 5. I don't grade on a bell curve, I suppose.

Yes Someone, I understand what you mean.
There are very inventive things on COR.
This LP is everything except boring and worthless.

Dammit, I've just noticed that Massif Centrale is number 1 !
Well, I don't think it's realistic.
This song is not bad but Ice Cream is right, FB did much better.
How come that Freedom rock is only number 16, Abstract plain n°22, Parry the wind high, low n°62, Sir Rockaby n°66 ..... ?

CoR is a great album! This list is bizarre and is making my girl brain start to overheat. voting for everything...nearly ;)
If we know for sure that rock ’n’ roll is truly the devil’s music—at least he fucking jams! And if it’s a choice between good tunes and eternal damnation, or eternal heaven and New Kids on the Fucking Block... I’m gonna be surfing on the Lake of Fire, rocking out |

Dont' worry, I'm not a girl and my personal brain processor is about to bug watching those strange standings !
But, last news, "Los Angeles" just took the 1st place, it was about time !
