The transformation was illustrated in the original studio version by the shift in lead vocals from Zappa's calm basso voice to Ricky Lancelotti's "mad lion" roars and Tasmanian Devil-esque energy."
Fair enough...I suppose that I could have/should have included a song from them.  Since this poll is about specific songs and not band's entire catalogues do you have one song in particular that you would recommend?

There are various songs that reference wolves in my collection that I love.

On to my vote: Toy Symphony gets mine.

And in case I forget on the day, Happy Howloween everyone!


Sorry about that, Logan.  I was caught up in the spirit of the upcoming US election and did a write-in vote because I didn't know any of the choices you offered.

And although Zomby Woof is a Zappa song, it is also a band from Germany (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2389) which is what I was referring to.


No worries, I didn't make this topic. And I have heard of the band Zomby Woof before, but both you and Scott were talking about Zappa in the two posts that preceded mine and I didn't check your link, and got a bit confused. My bad for the assumption and laziness. I see why you would have been talking about Zappa based on the Zomby Woof bio (I'm not as familiar with Zappa as I should be by the way). Scott's mention of poor spelling made me think of the white wolf spelling in Etron Fou Leloublan which made my want to make the Happy Howloween joke. Funnily enough I was just writing something about people who don't pay enough attention to what others post, and then the howler's on me. My bad.

I only knew Etron Fou, but not that song. I ended up voting for Wolve but also liked Wolf People.

About Ulver, I'm not really knowledgeable about them but they evolved a lot over the years.

A. Not an option.  B. Not a wolf.  Although I suppose that Zappa wasn't known for his spelling skills.

Thanks for at least checking the poll out.  I've found the forums to grow rather boring with the discussions about the same 10 or so bands so I am just trying to liven them up a bit with polls including lesser known bands.  As much as I would like everyone to like the music included in the polls, I know that isn't realistic, but I do hope that by including a variety of types of songs that there might be at least a couple of new discoveries for those that are willing to participate.  That being said other than disappearing to page 50 of the polls section within the next month or so, this poll will still be there, if and when you find the time or desire to check the songs out.  

While I like some of the album comparison threads that have recently been sprouting up, I find those difficult to vote in since I generally haven't heard all of the albums and don't have enough ears to listen to them all.  By doing these playlists I am providing individual songs that can be listened to in a relatively short period of time and at least give a vibe to what a band might sound like, although sometimes I am just including my favorite song from an album even if it isn't representative of the entire album's sound

It was the first band listed.  Toy Symphony is from Darryl Way's Wolf.

Here is a link to a YouTube playlist with videos for all of the songs listed. 




I’m totally blown away by the sheer amount of bands named after Wolves ...





Plus i’ve never heard of any of them, now that’s my research list opportunities so. Thank you

You're sorta right.  I tried listening to Ulver once a long time ago and they weren't for me.  Although, I was in a music store one time when they were playing an album from Ulver which I thought was pretty good, and it surprised me because my previous experience with them had not been good.  If I remember it was clean vocals and it was fairly mellow, which was sort of the opposite of what I remembered of my previous listen to Ulver.
