Evenflow, by Pearl Jam

Du Hast, by Rammstein

Satanist, by boygenius

Bad Guy, by Billie Eilish

UPDATE: A patron made me aware of some of the allegations against Till Lindemann, frontman of Rammstein. I'm still trying to get a handle on the exact situation, but in the meantime I think it's pretty clearly for the best to remove them from the poll. Patreon doesn't let me edit polls once they're up, but if that winds up winning I'll do the second-place one instead, and I'll replace it next month. My apologies.

It's probably too niche to make it to the top of the list, but I would really like to see an analysis of what is going on in Bo Burnham's song That Funny Feeling. It's not at all complicated but it's got a really unique vibe.

Graeme Lewis

In The End was good, but it made me hunger for your analysis of Breaking the Habit.

Marybeth

I know that Bad Guy has a lot of found music in it and I would love to know what it is

Serena Crocker

I'd absolutely love it because it's my favourite LP song, but after doing a remix of it as coursework once upon a time it's not necessarily the most musically dynamic song

Paul Brit

Has "Another Love" by Tom Odell been considered? I'd love to see its analysis.

Samuel Ollesh

I wonder what would be out of his comfort zone as far as music theory?

Kevin Darling

It’s good to see boygenius and Billie together.

Bad Guy has a lot of little stuff going on that I think would be the best for your particular format of deconstruction and doodle elephants. I hated it at first and grew to love it. Du Hast has neat lyrics that play off German wedding vows, but is pretty straightforward musically. Easily my personal favorite of the four, but Billie wins. The Rammstein single would be great if you’re targeting an 8-10 minute video, but you’ve been going much deeper lately and I am so here for it. Evenflow, i personally kinda feel the same about Du Hast — a couple neat things going on, better for shorter form content. That last song I literally have never heard of until now, so I’ll reserve judgment. I’m firmly on team Billie on this one.

Hey, folks. A patron made me aware of some of the allegations against Till Lindemann, frontman of Rammstein. I'm still trying to get a handle on the exact situation, but in the meantime I think it's pretty clearly for the best to remove them from the poll. Patreon doesn't let me edit polls once they're up, but if that winds up winning I'll do the second-place one instead, and I'll replace it next month. My apologies.

I'd love to see an analysis of Rammstein's music, but the allegations 12Tone mentions are a bit more disturbing and direct than the previous controversies the band have attracted, so definitely support the decision to not do them this time around.

I saw that you had worked with Laura Crone on her recent video about Ghost, I hadn't realized that some of their music was so complex and interesting! Hunters Moon is just a feast for the ear fairies :)

But also you now have teenage me (Pearl Jam) competing with current me (Eilish) and no fair :/

12tone doesn't always do it, but this poll at least is set up to allow multiselect. I voted for both :)
