COMPLETE GARBAGE: The Discography Rate (WINNER!)

I'm screaming! I'm so happy for You Look So Fine. I think it's fantastic. I like Push It but I'm happy that their ballads won this recognition.
Thank you for a great rate @NecessaryVoodoo ! I enjoyed learning so much about the band. I now have more of a reason to check out their b sides and remixes.

This rate did not go by way at all but it was eased by @NecessaryVoodoo's hosting so work, I guess.
Thanks @NecessaryVoodoo for hosting this rate, it's been awesome. Absolute jaw-dropped that Push It didn't win. I was convinced that it would snatch that crown, but ecstatic that You Look So Fine emerged the winner.
The Brad Pitt story kills me. Can YOU IMAGINE the press coverage and video airplay they would have got - 1999 was still pop culturally in the peak Brad era. That was the biggest revelation from the new book, and I'm so amazed that they managed to keep that anecdote quiet for 18 years.

Well, this can't be right.
But @NecessaryVoodoo: rate legend. Perfect pace, perfect gifs, perfect host.
(Wrong 11 though!!!)
(But also, who gives You Look So Fine a 5.5? I'm so conflicted!)

Which means the winning album is Version 2.0:
And as a bonus, here's how the Top 10 songs changed over the voting period:
Cripes! My 11 was initially number 1! Well, that's something I suppose!
YES! I was absolutely sure that Push It would take the crown, but I'm so delighted that for the very first time my 11 came out on top in a rate! Such a hauntingly gorgeous song, their absolute best ballad (and that says a lot). I love the middle eight that arrives too early in the song and hits you like a ton of bricks right out nowhere (a la The Loving Kind a decade later). Masterpiece.
@NecessaryVoodoo, thank you for a brilliant rate!

I ADORE the fact "You Look So Fine" won. Thank you for the rate @NecessaryVoodoo! Did y'alls realise the last two words of the winning song are "happy end"? (Let's pretend "let's pretend" didn't happen.)
Honestly, that was a pretty iconic top 2 and a great representation of their work.
@NecessaryVoodoo incredible rate. Thank you so much for running this! You are definitely one of the finest hosts.

Me popping in to see the final results:
Me seeing that the right song won:
Me congratulating the voters for doing the right thing:
But most of all me congratulating @NecessaryVoodoo for being his usual incredible self and running an amazing rate, with brilliant write ups and hilarious artwork and gifs:
Me when I see that Why Do You Love Me was never once in the top 10 during any point of the voting:

Now that's what I call a surprise twist ending! I love both of them so either one would have been a worthy winner in my eyes.
Thank you so much for this amazing rate, @NecessaryVoodoo! You clearly put a lot of work and love into this rate from the graphics to the write-ups to the research etc... All that effort shows and is what made this rate so good. Garbage would be proud.

When this rate started I had fully expected Cherry Lips or Push It to sweep - and I do love them, a lot, but it would have been such a predictable result. I'm so pleased.
You've done a wonderful job, @NecessaryVoodoo. This was fun (and stressful, but mostly fun.) You have my vote for host if there's ever a Tori discography rate.

I can't believe You Look So Fine won. I've been lurking in this thread for a while - as I only know 3 Garbage songs - You Look So Fine, #1 Crush and The World Is Not Enough - didn't even know it was a single, but I'm happy it won.
That was a great rate and has inspired me to check out more of their songs

I would have NEVER guessed "You Look So Fine" would win. Ever. Which makes me super pleased. "Push It" was a possible winner for me, although I feared "Queer" or "Vow", but "You Look So Fine"? Never. It's not a bopppppp! It's beautiful! It's almost as if a Michael Jackson rate ended with "Stranger In Moscow" winning. (It's my favourite song of his and I can't stand 90% of his ballads.)
