Best Mescaleros song - vote it out

[Heston]

Can someone do a BAD version of this? I would do it but my maths aren't so great.

[tepista]

There's never been as much Mesky argument here, but I always got the impression that most people favoured Global as their favourite. Or am I wrong? (I prefer Streetcore myself of the three.)

Me too.

Streetcore is the only one I like a lot

[daredevil]

Yeah, Global is the best from start to finish, but lately I've been favoring Streetcore. with the added live cuts.

[drowninghere]

- the people who like Mondo Bongo like it a lot

- Global is the best album. Streetcore is more of a compilation album (as is Rock Art).

[101Walterton]

Global and Rock Art both have some great tracks however there is more filler / weaker tracks on Rock Art.
Despite having some of the Meskies best tracks Streetcore is a mash mash of bits and pieces and sounds like it.

1. Forbidden City
2. Cool n' Out
3. Ramshackle Day Parade

I've always thought Streetcore was the general favorite. It's definitely the media darling, though a lot of that is probably due to timing. Streetcore gets the most play in my car. I've got good memories of blasting that one while driving around overdosing on coffee during college. Global is my round-the-house, take me to Alice-in-Wonderland album, and Rock Art is my nighttime jam.

Global is my favorite though. The title track really blew me away at the time. I had never heard anything like it. I'm surprised that it isn't as popular as I thought.

1. Minstrel Boy (Blackhawk Down version) - Surprised this hasn't been listed yet.
2. Coma Girl
3. Johnny Appleseed

2 and 3 are obvious choices, but they are grand songs. I probably listen to Global the least, though I acknowledge it is the best.

Surprised how few people chose Cool 'n Out. It's an absolute barnburner.

[matedog]

Is Bhindi Bagee that dumb one where he talks about how his life and music is soooo diverse? Ugh, always hated that one.

Megadittoes, Rush! Keep up the good work!

I took it as him being stoked about the cultural diversity in London, rather than a brag about how diverse he is personally.

Yeah.

I think it's great. Goes off into a mental jam at the end.

I just comes across as really cheesy to me. "I love diversity! Look at how much I love it! I love all cultures and styles. My mind is so open!"
