I've been voting for Mr Brightside since it started being an option, so really hoping it wins this time!

Kevin Darling

I’m thinking we’re being trolled with “Mr. Brightside”

Alec

Any chance of adding theory topics to these polls? The song analysis videos are great but personally I find the videos that dig into a specific topic more interesting. For instance, I'd love more chord loop discussions.

This was a tough call for me, but I ended up picking Mr Brightside over Rebel Girl. I just have so much nostalgia for it.

Erica Logos

This is a weird selection for me. I like Thin Lizzy, but Boys Are Back in Town seems like a straighforward rock song. I don't know the music of The Clash or Bikini Kill. I absolutely unapologetically loathe The Killers. I'm voting for The Clash just because it might motivate me to get into their discography. And because I don't want to watch a video about Mr Brightside.

Wayne Weil

The only band that matters. The choice is clear. #RudieCantFail

Highly recommend getting into Bikini Kill! They were instrumental to the riot grrrl movement, and their music is just generally dope as hell

Andrew Beals

London Calling opens the door to more recent covers of it as well.

Adam Wurstmann

I'd rather have Cowboy Song for Thin Lizzie

Bryan C Edwards

Honestly, any of them would be fine. I'm sure 12Tone's breakdown would teach me something new about any of them.

Battle of the cinematic soundtrack?

Leander

wow this is one close poll

Joe Johnston

I know the song is popular, but I don't find London Calling a particularly complex song. It's kind of ska-skiffle, which if you were around in the UK in the 70s wasn't all that uncommon. The Clash's performance seals the deal on it, at least for me.

I think London Calling bears analysis even if it is simple, it's still interesting to think about what that simplicity does for the listener

Paul Bort

They're all great choices. Looking forward to any of them.

I'll think about it, but those tend to be much more driven by what research happens to have caught my eye recently, so it's harder to plan ahead like this. I have to have already figured out what I have to say on the topic, and once I'm at that point I kinda just want to go ahead and make the video, y'know?

Alec

Makes sense. I love those research driven videos, for what it's worth.

RAD Donato

Didn't you already do London Calling?

MrScience

It's all about the arrangement and performance. . .

Hello! Long time listener, first time patron. I'm going to use this awkward first post to suggest a song for future analysis - "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel. But any Gabriel song would be swell. Thank you for your consideration.
