i love Winter's Love and The Purple Bottle

this version of the Purple Bottle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM6K3ICfzcU

Pride and Fight & In the Flowers tie for first for me

Essplode

>>53098196
i'm really slow on this, but alvin row is fucking amazing.

>>53098303
>>53098327
These are definitely up there for me too

>>53098196
grass is the first anco song that really hit me and it has a lot of feels tied to it. I can't find it on youtube anymore but avey did this solo lil acoustic set in france a few yrs ago, go find the 2005 campus in diretto show. his performance of grass is fucking amazing

but these are my favorite anco songs:
>good lovin outside
>april and the phantom
>grass
>guys eyes
>cobwebs

The vocals on Grass are so god-tier it's not even funny

>>53098468
yes this!! those screams man. avey is one of a kind
>tfw my knees are trying to reach you

Lablakely Dress too

My favorites right now are Infant Dressing Table, Derek, Doggy, and Two Sails on a Sound. My answers for this change constantly, but these are what I've been really into lately. I'm just now realizing how subtly great all of these are. Especially the more relaxed stuff on HCTI. Still need to listen to Prospect Hummer, Holinndagain, Danse Manatee, and STGSTV.

>>53098468
Appreciate the link. If there's one thing that makes Grass, it's the drumming. Such a simple beat and yet it fits perfectly with the song to make it one of my favorites off Feels.

>I'm just now realizing how subtly great all of these are
thats the best, it's how good lovin outside became one of my favorites. a lot of people kind of gloss over the second half of sung tongs but it's actually really great.

isnt whaddit i done about sex? or maybe im thinking of a different song

>>53098670
Not sure if Whaddit I Done is about anything, I just love how it completes the album with the kind of droney background vocals it has. The opening to it puts people off though and a lot of people get annoyed with what it does with voice effects. I still like it a lot though.

Loch Raven, Banshee Beat, Daily Routine, Fireworks, and La Rapet are probably my top 5.

>>53098670
Good Lovin Outside is totally about sex, but surely you knew that

No one else a fan of Prospect Hummer? This was my favorite album for a really long time, Vashti was really great in it.

Visiting Friends anyone?

Peacebone and Alvin Row are my favorite AnCo songs ever

>>53101289
Extremely underrated album, easily my favorite EP, toped only by STGSTV overall.

>>53098196
>tfw no one else likes In the Singing Box

The first time I tried weed, that song came on shuffle. I almost cried, it's such an emotional song. It got me hooked on what is now my favorite band.

>>53098196
It's impossible to pick a favorite song, they have a huge discography and i love almost all of it.
Lately though i've really been enjoying that other version of Chocolate GIrl and a live version of Fireworks mixed with Essplode and Lablakely Dress

Moonjock

General question, What was wrong with Centipede HZ? I rarely see anyone talk about it.

>>53103366
Why did you leave out "Hollinndagain" and "Campfire Songs?"

>>53103384

Because i don't like them.

Fuck you.

Nah i think CS is pretty good. Doggy is my favorite like everyone else if it helps you sleep at night

>>53103380
I didn't mind the production too much. I really liked Moonjock and Anamita, and a couple in between but the rest is really lackluster and forgettable. Oh and "Wide Eyed" is hilarious

>>53103380
Bad production, weak songwriting, and awkward hooks. The whole thing felt forced and directionless, and was the first point in Animal Collective's discography where they didn't seem to be moving forward. It felt like a cheap, plastic, uninspired version of "Strawberry Jam." But whereas "Strawberry Jam" felt natural and wondrous, "Centipede Hz" just felt cheap and plastic, and unrewarding. There are a few great songs on "Centipede Hz," but even those songs aren't executed as well as they could have been due to bad production.

superior live version

The best version of the Purple Bottle is from the 2006 Rock Herk show

If I had to choose one favorite Animal Collective song for the rest of my life, it would most definitely have to be Did You See the Words?

Strong contenders: Kids on Holiday, Winter Wonder Land, Derek, No More Runnin, Daily Routine, Grass, Leaf House & Bees

I adhere the contrarian opinion that the mid-section of their discography is the best

>>53103441
I agree with this. Its main theme is that it's presenting a sort of cluttered pop sound, which gives it no direction by default. While it has plenty of good songs, these are all easy to overlook because they don't mix well. Strawberry Jam does something similar but works because all of the songs unique parts are pushed to their extremes, and almost seeming gimmicky at times though still working out.

New Town Burnout is a song I love from CHz, and while the transition to it from Monkey Riches is good, Monkey Riches itself is pretty poor and drags on. Though not totally similar, SJ has a transition from For Reverend Green to Fireworks, and it's fantastic. You can tell it's the high point of the album from the emotion in the songs and the heavy atmosphere, but with CHz it's just a blur. It's a good album, but a poor AnCo album.

>>53103444
>this ones for Stevie Wonder
what

>>53103855
>"I Just Called to Say I Love You" is a song written, produced and performed by Stevie Wonder.[2] It was one of Wonder's most commercially successful singles.

They didn't put that part in the album version because of copyright issues. I like the album version more anyways.

>>53103855
He sings I just called to say I love you instead. How did you not pick that up?

Mine are #1, Fireworks, Also Frightened, Taste, Did you see the words?, Peacebone
I love a lot of their songs really, it's hard even to pick the top ones
