At least we can all blame Olaf for getting his groove on here.

Presume you mean Another Girl, Another Planet by The Only Ones. Is their any relevance of that song to Paranoid or am I missing something here?
Something to do with Wally's Ultimate Album poll. But I don't remember the details.
Right, I remember the poll. Just didn't get the relevance to the two versions of Paranoid being discussed.
No just the ridiculous notion that Another Girl on the Planet was a better song.
I like both equally. Both are great songs in my opinion.
Girl on the Planet is fine, doesn't do anything for me but I do like to knock it becasue of that whole trumpian election thing we had.

Did we ever poll them off against each other? I just can't believe any fan of guitar music wouldn't find AGAP absolutely brilliant.

It was when we were doing that game of picking the best first song on an album, then second, etc, for a fake best-of comp. Those two got matched up and "Paranoid" lost because we live in cursed times.

Didnt Paranoid actually win at first but because some people couldn't abide by the results they stormed the capitol and forced another election while members of the Another Planet Girl Junta were bribing and threatening people to vote for the inferior song.

No, "Bodies" won the first time, but for some reason something went wonky—I think Wally invented a rule that a band could only be represented once and another Pistols song won already—so instead of letting "Paranoid," which finished second, be the choice, he reopened nominations and "Paranoid" went up against "Another Girl" and finished second again. Never should have gone to a second vote, but, well, IMCT polls.
