01. Climbing to the Moon (300 votes)
With overwhelming votes (114 more than the number 2) this is the one and only
winner of the Best Songs Poll. If there's any eels song that should be seen
as an 'evergreen' it's this one. Many, many people had it on their number
1 spots. And that says more than i can fit in this little paragraph :-)

shitty life and the good days. "

I want to thank you all for your votes, your comments on the songs, and the
many mails that i got asking when the list was finally ready ;)
Anyway, to round it all up, here are some last comments that people entered in the 'General Comments' field.
"E is the most amazing songwriter in the history of music. Somehow
he has this way of looking inside my head and writing beautiful music about
my thoughts. He is the only man on earth who can make me feel like maybe,
somehow, I'm not alone after all. And music is the only language that I can
understand when it comes to emotions."
-- Megan
"It's amazing how many great songs never made it on to LP's and got
passed on as B-sides. It's a crime I tell you. Everyone should have easy access
to these beautiful melodies. "
-- Jay
"Eat Fish, Drink Milk, Enjoy Eels......."
-- Jim A
"a unique band with a whole army of great songs and you're making
me choose. Bastard "
-- Wendy
'till next year!
