Steve Chapman ran a poll ranking the albums from top to bottom. We've had a poll of our favorite Gary songs in general. We sort of took a stab at a poll for the live albums. What about a poll of what our favorite Gary singles are? To me the distinction between songs released as singles from songs in general is a meaningful one. They're the songs that are picked to be presented to the public to represent the artist and draw listener interest. With Gary himself making that selection, they reflect how he expresses himself as an artist. I'd love to find out what the fans think are the best songs that Gary's done that have appeared on an a-side. To keep it manageable, let's limit our submissions to our top five picks, just as we kept the general songs poll to our top twenty. But it's all just a thought, so here are mine: 1) A Question Of Faith 2) I Die: You Die 3) Down In The Park 4) We Are Glass 5) The Skin Game As with polls past, ranking matters-- submissions will be weighted higher for our number 1 entries than for our friends called 5. Anyone can also submit a list "in no particular order," just to offer her or his picks unweighted. And yes, the Sharpe and Nicholson collaborations count-- they were singles after all. I'm looking forward to seeing what other people pick as their faves!
