Again, "Do You Realize" and really much of Yoshimi has lost much of it's luster over the years while I still keep finding new things to glean from each Women listen. I like Women.
Shaking Hand. Love Do You Realize??, but that Women album, and especially this track is just way too good to be eliminated in the second round. _________________ Finally updated the overall chart

Precisely this. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Well I guess it's the Lips heartfelt songwriting vs Women's spindly and engaging musicianship. I just find Do you realise? a whole lot more unique. There's a lot of very good post punk but the Lips ability to write philosophical songs in a pop kind of way is pretty astonishing. I agree the sound (production wise) of the Lips in this era feels a bit dated but their great songs still shine through for me.
Maybe it's just the overuse of the tune or that I greatly prefer the Embyronic/Terror era over Yoshimi, but I still feel like "Do You Realize" is the splenda-lite, amusement-park version of many similar themes they explored in some of their more pop-oriented works (particularly Transmissions) or more ambitious concepts like in Clouds or Soft Bulletin. Oh well I guess it's going to steamroll through the tournament and there's nothing to do about it. Its not a bad tune by any means, but... at this point, ehhh
And I mostly agree with Skinny's ranking though In a Priest Driven Ambulance will always be a personal favorite- the best mix of the extraneous crazy of their earlier works towards their more refined, atmospheric sound of the 90s and beyond.
