Sorry, I'm in the "Windowlicker is kinda overrated" camp. Or if not overrated, at least overplayed.

 

Yes, it's a fantastic track, especially if it catches you unawares, but it's nowhere near his best work.

sure, but LEAST favorite? Come on, no way

Anything that provokes strong enough *positive* reactions to propell something into the charts is gonna have the potential to create equally strong negative reactions, enough to make it someone's least favourite.

The fact that it is one of his more accesible and "pop" works, the fact that it's so strongly based around vocals, the sheer ubiquity of it, culturally, during a certain time period - I could understand how it could provoke strong negative reactions.

I fucking love the Elephant Song....

oh wait this is a thread of hate

although I can't say I hate it, my least favourite is probably

I just find it hard to listen to, whenever I try to listen to it it feels like days have passed by and braincells have turned to shit...

Actually, yeah.

Even I'm not gonna argue with that.

I definitely understand what you're saying, and I do get how it puts off some, but I'd be crazy to call it my least favorite, simply because there's so many other songs you could put there.

come to daddy (by which i mean(t) pappy mix) is my least favorite. i actually didn't have to think about that very much.

Perc6 and Equation get on my tits everytime. hate.them.

WATMM

edit: and this about the bowie glass remix "whenever I try to listen to it it feels like days have passed by and braincells have turned to shit..."

is right on which is why its awesome!! if you want a track that makes years go by try velvet underground - new age

As long as we all agree that 'Aussois' is the best.

ventolin and logon rock witch. cant stand those songs

i can understand not loving windowlicker. but the video is probably the best music video ever made, so, for me, it's hard to separate the song/video, they're perfect together.

there's a couple of clunkers on sawII that i would call the worst just for being boring.

i think the songs are cliffs, rhubarb, and stone in focus. man, those songs suck!

overplayed where?

On MTV for the only 3 years I ever had it (1999-2001)

In London clubs, still, to this day - it's pretty much the only Aphex song you'll ever hear on a dance floor (despite it not being particularly danceable.)

Anyway, enough Windowlicker complaining. It's not his worst song by a country mile. Not even close. In fact, I've grown to quite like it again.

WHAT

rhubarb??? no way, that song is legendary

just woke up and read this. don't understand...

Cliffs? You must be having a laugh.

Guys, I'm fairly certain that that was a joke. In fact, I'm almost 100% certain that was a joke.

Because hating on rhubarb would be like hating on being wrapped in big snuggly warm fuzzy blankets during a chilly evening. That's just perverse.

haha, it was a joke. those are my favorite songs on sawII. i do think there are a few boring songs on sawII which might be considered Aphex's worst, but i dont know the names of the songs. i usually skip them.

check my new mix in watmmixes. lots of aphex twin in it!
