Guest bitroast Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 was checking the warp20 current ratings and surely enough roygbiv was the top boc tune. dont get me wrong, i like the song, and i understand that everyone has their favourites, but HOW is roygbiv fucken everyones number 1 boc song :F Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43839-roygbiv/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caustic Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 probably a combination of a) being the most accessible (?) b) short and catchy c) crap description but, it's very "boc". drifty synths, mid-tempo beat, childish theme. i dunno. if it wasn't the top track, its likely it would've been WARPs pick too. what would you have put? Kid for Today sounds like an alright choice to me. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « shit, so this is what its like posting in boc subforum. *feels dirty* Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43839-roygbiv/#findComment-986760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 what would i pick? thats the thing. nothing really stands out. which is fine, im just wondering why everyone else sees roygbiv as a standout. if i had to pick for a standout tho, i reckon Turqoise Hexagon Sun. clean, safe, nice. Everything you do is a balloon is also a strong one i reckon but wrong label.

Guest musicforairports Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I thought it would have been dayvan cowboy (great track but a bit pop compared to their other stuff) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43839-roygbiv/#findComment-987060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 oh, no shit! i just remember the track getting heaps of praise over here, and when i saw it as the number 1 boc tune over at warp20 it really spun me out :P wait no! roygbiv still is the number one! with 12% of artist votes followed by Beautiful Place' coming second with 7%.

Guest bitroast Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 the first list you see is the recently voted for, you gotta click Current Chart for the actual top20. or you can click here for the boc page. not that it really matters :) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43839-roygbiv/#findComment-987237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hideshiseyes Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'd probably go for something off "In a beautiful place in the country", but a group like BoC don't really lend themselves to favourite songs.

Guest melotronic Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 given the intentions and flows of the albums as wholes its pretty ridiculous to expect a single good song to surpass any others imo... although having said that i do love roygbiv Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43839-roygbiv/#findComment-995211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tommm Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 It's too difficult to pick out one single track but it's definitely not Roygbiv. If it were up to me, compared to the likes of 1969, An Eagle In Your Mind, Aquarius and Happy Cycling, it really wouldn't have a chance. But, such is the way of subjectivity & taste.
