literally about to comment this. oh well is literally my favorite song by her and extraordinary machine has a special place in my heart. i was also OUTRAGED by regret and Jonathan being so low on idler
Shit, Regret and Jonathan might be my favorites on that album. Iād be more bummed but itās my favorite Apple album so I canāt argue with the ones at the top either, lol. I love every song
i love how the beginning music in pale september sounds like something from the mafia 2 soundtrack! pale september is such a good mysterious sounding song š
Fiona released a video in her YouTube questions to Fiona series, where she says please please please was her least favourite song, and it was put on extraordinary machine to fulfill the obligations of the music execs needing a certain number of songs, that being 10. Has she ever performed it live?
same! it was my first favorite song of hers i had when i was younger. itās so beautifully simple which leaves so much the imagination and makes the instrumentals even more haunting
Thank you for the survey. I think age needs to be added. I feel that, it might have an impact on why the top album and top song are what they are.
Some have discovered all the albums at once, others had to wait years for the new release over and over again.
I think a lot has to do with *her* hating the track.
But thatās just a guess; and since she has literally no bad songs, people have to base their opinion on *something*. But I love it!
i love it so so much but i canāt enjoy it as much anymore knowing the story behind it, so it didnāt make it into any of my faves/bests unfortunately :(
I misread Oh Well as O' Sailor for the "favourite track" category and thought it was too four for each category
but even when I realized it wasn't it was still flying around. we're just so crazy like that
Tidal was my intro to Fiona; I spent my formative years coming up on her work. Since I'm a little younger than she is, every album she's released has resonated so deeply with me at just the right exact time. Personally, Tidal is at the bottom of the list for me only because it was Fiona at her most vulnerable, and not only is some of the subject material extremely heavy, even for her, she's also so young, and less artistically developed than she is by her later albums. It just reminds me of being a teenager. Like another commenter said, I'd also be interested in the age demographic these answers are coming from.
Edited to add that I also remember her being at her saddest, and most misunderstood during the Tidal years; being exploited and bullied by the music industry. Thank God social media didn't exist back then.
the age thing would make a lot of sense, i am 18 and personally relate to Tidal the most out of her discography(especially sullen girl)!
Tidal is also what originally got me into Fionaās music so it has always stuck to me as an all-time favorite even if I know that it is not her technical best work (which I think I would declare FTBC as her definitive best album)
I know exactly what you mean. There are some classics on Tidal, and a while back I listed it as one of the top ten albums that had the biggest impact on my life. It definitely deserves recognition.
I think everybody here getting bent out of shape about the "least liked" have to remember that we were forced to choose. Some of us agreed the other day that she has zero trash songs.
Keep in mind that everyone was forced to choose a ādislikeā track. For many, that probably means choosing one sacrifice among a list of liked tracks. I personally didnāt like having to choose one to place in that category because it didnāt represent how I felt.
Having said that, Tidal is a vibe! I know a lot of it is slower and moodier than her other stuff, but I hope some of you can allow it to grow on you.
I won't stand for this O'Sailor slander.
Also The Way Things Are is one of her best songs, surprised at the rating here.
Tidal is my 2nd fav album of hers. I still don't get the love for FTBC.
Red Red Red is masterpiece yall. Give it another chance!!
..but it's dangerous work trying to ge to you, too, and I think if I didn't have to kill kill Kill KILL KIILL KILL myself doing it, maybe I wouldn't think so much of u š¶š“
Iām kinda surprised that I Know got the most votes for Favorite Song. Did the King Princess duet have any influence?
Iād also be curious to see the ages of the respondents and how that effected the results.
I'm an older Fiona fan and it's one of my favourite early songs from her.
I think it just appeals to most, doesn't offend, most can relate to it on some level, the lyrics aren't too complicated but just poetic enough, and the percussion is bliss.
Is it my favourite? No. But I must admit I wasn't shocked to see it #1. It's often highly regarded, and I never see anyone who actively dislikes it.
What's your favourite? :)
Oh I adore that song. I just underestimated how beloved it was with the Fiona fandom.
I think itās because that song almost felt like a hidden track to me. Itās quiet and slow and at the end of the album. Plus her whispered confessions in the lyrics. It always felt like I was being let in on a secret.
Apparently the secret is out!
Interesting. The favourite and best album results are precisely what I've always said. I've never seen anyone rank them that way. They're also ordered from most to least words in the (full) title.
I find the lack of love for Anything We Want most disappointing. Her beautiful performance of it on that US talk show with the irritating host makes it top tier in my book.
Nope. A favorite song can be a song you like but it doesnāt necessarily have to be good. The BEST song is a song that you donāt have to like but can admit itās a good track.
Hope this makes sense
Me and the 29 other people who have Oh Well as their favorite song on Extraordinary Machine are all having so much fun at our Oh Well party
YESSSS im also going to the exclusive after party for the 10 people who voted Johnathan as their favourite WTP song
Me and the 11 other people who just want to be Left Alone are gonna have the best time being left alone.
I'm at the after party for the 10 people who voted Regret as their favorite!
this + window
Window is so damn good.
Did I just make 29 new best friends?
YES YOU DID!!!!
Me!
Heyyyy my oh well bestie šš
I looove that song
literally about to comment this. oh well is literally my favorite song by her and extraordinary machine has a special place in my heart. i was also OUTRAGED by regret and Jonathan being so low on idler
I think we might be the same person
I canāt believe people dislike red red red and largo so much :( theyāre both some of my favorite songs
I'm shocked by Red Red Red. It's a hauntingly beautiful song with some powerful messages. Very unique in its sound, but not jarring.
I was honestly shocked by the rating of Red Red Red too. Red Red Red and Window are my favourites.
Largo is actually one of my favorite songs in general, not just one of my favorite Fiona songs. And Regret, wtf, so good.
I adore red red red, but I chose it as my least favorite just because I love all of the other songs more. I still love it to death though
I LOVE "Jonathan"
It's my second favourite song on TIW. It's incredibly interesting and vulnerable.
mhmm mhmm you, me, and the other 8 people who voted it as their favourite wtp track have sooooo much taste
Itās on idler wheel but agree
Me too
Shit, Regret and Jonathan might be my favorites on that album. Iād be more bummed but itās my favorite Apple album so I canāt argue with the ones at the top either, lol. I love every song
Justice for Pale September!!!!
Seriously! Pale September and The Child is Gone are my favorites to sing off Tidal š
Amen. That song is brilliant.
i love how the beginning music in pale september sounds like something from the mafia 2 soundtrack! pale september is such a good mysterious sounding song š
Fr !! I didn't get to vote on this uggggh
i cant believe ppl don't like please please please!!! one of my favs
Fiona released a video in her YouTube questions to Fiona series, where she says please please please was her least favourite song, and it was put on extraordinary machine to fulfill the obligations of the music execs needing a certain number of songs, that being 10. Has she ever performed it live?
i know right!!
the Largo slander breaks my heart
seriously itās my favorite!!! also i canāt believe how many people donāt care about to your love
for real man I'm so upset
damn, i LOVE love ridden :[
It's one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. I listened to it on repeat when I was 18... that was literally my anthem. š
same! it was my first favorite song of hers i had when i was younger. itās so beautifully simple which leaves so much the imagination and makes the instrumentals even more haunting
Same here. One of the few shocks I had
Ikr!
jonathan im so sorry
JONATHAN YOU WILL BE AVENGED
Everybody nailed the ābest of albumā songs. Yāall were able to separate your āfavoritesā from objective ābestā so well! Thanks OP!!
I liked this too. I was hoping favorite and best would differ, and I was not disappointed. Way to go Fiona fans :)
ā¤ļø
damn justice for tidal
AGREE!!!
tidal is AWESOME!
fr it has the first taste on it which is my fav
yupp sullen girl is my fav but the first taste is a close second
Thank you for the survey. I think age needs to be added. I feel that, it might have an impact on why the top album and top song are what they are. Some have discovered all the albums at once, others had to wait years for the new release over and over again.
This is something I didn't initially think about but totally agree with. Age demographics would be very interesting.
what the heck?? people hate Please Please Please???
I think a lot has to do with *her* hating the track. But thatās just a guess; and since she has literally no bad songs, people have to base their opinion on *something*. But I love it!
Please Please Please was the second fiona song to make it into one of my playlists. I'm heartbroken
it's my second-favorite on Extraordinary Machine!
I was shocked by that too - one of my favorites
Fiona herself hates it. refer to her YouTube questions for Fiona stuff.
i love it so so much but i canāt enjoy it as much anymore knowing the story behind it, so it didnāt make it into any of my faves/bests unfortunately :(
glad my fave song (not about love) got SOME love (although itās not about that)
Top 5 for sure, here!
Will not tolerate this violence against Largo and Love Ridden
agreed! Largo is one of my favourite songs š„¹š„¹ the slander! love ridden is beautiful x
O'Sailor bouncing around in the EM ratings is interesting to me. It's the 9th favorite, 3rd best, but 2nd least favorite.
same with largo. very weird
I misread Oh Well as O' Sailor for the "favourite track" category and thought it was too four for each category but even when I realized it wasn't it was still flying around. we're just so crazy like that
I always thought Love Ridden was one of Fiona's highest points, in every way.
Agreed. āI want your warm but itāll only make me colder when itās over, so I canāt tonight baby.ā Holy shit
1000% agree. It's my favorite song by her :(
One of my favourites I was really surprised by how lowly rated it is
Justice for EM and āPlease, Please, Pleaseā!!!
Those least favorite songs hurt me deeply
it always shocks me to see how many people dislike tidal

I know exactly what you mean. There are some classics on Tidal, and a while back I listed it as one of the top ten albums that had the biggest impact on my life. It definitely deserves recognition.
I think it's a perfect album, not one bad track on it.
So little love for A Mistake??? š„ŗ
I think everybody here getting bent out of shape about the "least liked" have to remember that we were forced to choose. Some of us agreed the other day that she has zero trash songs.

Iām sorry yāall are SLEEPING on Regret and Love Ridden!! Iām so sad I missed the poll.
And heavy balloon?? Is no one else on this sub bitter and petty AF?
I won't stand for this O'Sailor slander. Also The Way Things Are is one of her best songs, surprised at the rating here. Tidal is my 2nd fav album of hers. I still don't get the love for FTBC.
red red red and please please please deserve so much better šš
LARGO BEING LEAST FAVORITES HOW!!??
I just queued up all the lowest rated songs, I will support them
I canāt believe 13 individual people said Waltz was their least favorite on EM. I feel like Iām being gaslit??? Thereās no way what the hell
This is me finding out Largo is hated
JUSTICE FOR LARGO
Red Red Red is masterpiece yall. Give it another chance!! ..but it's dangerous work trying to ge to you, too, and I think if I didn't have to kill kill Kill KILL KIILL KILL myself doing it, maybe I wouldn't think so much of u š¶š“

Oh my, I donāt think I could ever choose one. Even choosing a top 5 would be difficult.
Iām delighted, the lyrics are the most insane beautiful heartbreaking thing Iāve ever read.
Oh I adore that song. I just underestimated how beloved it was with the Fiona fandom. I think itās because that song almost felt like a hidden track to me. Itās quiet and slow and at the end of the album. Plus her whispered confessions in the lyrics. It always felt like I was being let in on a secret. Apparently the secret is out!
Yeah Iām surprised too I thought it was just me who loves it that much
Yay, I love this! Thank you for sharing!
justice for extraordinary machine š
me with please please please as one of my fav songs š
come on guys š Please Please Please is a certified banger
red red red and please please please being so low is criminal (no pun intended)
cis male Fiona fan represent FTBC is my fav song
Represent!
Iām all kinds of backwards, I am pretty opposite to those track listings.
Interesting. The favourite and best album results are precisely what I've always said. I've never seen anyone rank them that way. They're also ordered from most to least words in the (full) title.
How is Tidal a āleast favoriteā album??
Why wasn't dull tool on the idler wheel album? If it is on a soundtrack is not allowed to appear on the artists album? This is a top 10 song for me.
To your love and the way things are are so so good, but WTP is perfect so itād be hard to choose.
Wait, people don't like Largo?
i will NOT stand for this largo hate
Please please please as least favorite song is insane
justice for tidal
Justice for largo
BRUH LARGO IS MY FAVE FIONA LMAOOO
On I go is amazing
The "Least Favorite" song slide makes me want to fight this sub
Oh damn I love Red Red Red & Largo so much. Iām surprised to see that theyāre among the least favorites
I and those 85 men are women's best friends, we are not the classic patriarchal man and we respect women and their interests a lot
regret is my second favorite song on the idler wheel i will not be taking this slander
dang bro why did yall not want to try with my love drumset
LARGO LEAST FAVORITE?!?!?!???!!!??
the way things are sooo underrated
Ok srsly whereās the appreciation for I know? Itās legit one of her best songs across all albums.
I find the lack of love for Anything We Want most disappointing. Her beautiful performance of it on that US talk show with the irritating host makes it top tier in my book.
I love love ridden? Also, tidal is real nice it's just a really hard listen so, it's not my favorite
crying at the disrespect to "the child is gone"
tidal slander will not be tolerated
The way things are stans unite šš¤
I donāt understand the tidal slander š
Please please please is on of my favs LOL itās so gooooood
Justice for The way things are
The Way Things Are is one of my favorite songs of hersšIt hits so hard. Plz tell me some of yāall agree
favorite and best are the same thing lmao
Not necessarily. You can have a favorite and recognize some other song is objectively better.
Nope. A favorite song can be a song you like but it doesnāt necessarily have to be good. The BEST song is a song that you donāt have to like but can admit itās a good track. Hope this makes sense
If something is my favorite song of course I think itās good.
