I love Vyzee the most out of any SOPHIE song but I still haven't listened the Product version because I don't want to hear a bad rip. The first time I heard Vyzee was when I saw SOPHIE live last year and I can still remember that moment in detail. I was in the bathroom of the club, lol. As soon as the vocals kicked in it felt like my heart stopped and I ran out of the bathroom onto the dance floor as fast as I could.
And then my other favorite is Hard because it's the first song that got me interested in SOPHIE's music, (along with Friday Night). My friends had showed me Bipp and Lemonade first, both of which I kind of wrote off at first (they've grown on me obvi) but the lyrics to Hard were just so unexpected and intriguing that I had to pay attention.
And then I guess my runner up is JLWNSG but tbh I can't listen to it too frequently because I just start crying lol. I was going to say I don't like L.O.V.E. because I don't have any masochistic tendencies whatsoever but then I thought about how much JLWNSG hurts my heart and I still like it so... Idk.

I'm surprised hard is no. 1 Well, Hard was voted the number 1 PCM track earlier in the summer, so I'm not too surprised!

Still can't believe that NOBODY has voted for Lemonade, the song that I figure most people not familiar with PC Music recognize SOPHIE by. It's definitely not my favorite but it's by far his most popular and is a huge crowd pleaser when it comes on during anyone's set. What gives?

As someone said here, I think it's most likely to be people's third or fourth favourite or something. Still, no votes is shocking!

They could have showed some love for LEMONADE

Super hard to do, but this is what I'd go with:
HARD > L.O.V.E. > MSMSMSM > ELLE > VYZEE > JLWNSG > LEMONADE > BIPP
(Low placement for "Bipp" and "Lem" doesn't correlate with oversaturation, since I've played "Hard" countless times. But I should note that I still love those tracks.)
PRODUCT is really great, but since we're getting specific here, I do feel it has mixing weaknesses (to my ears, at least). SOPHIE's sound design is most complex/intricate in "Lemonade" and "Hard," but those tracks are also the best mixed, reminiscent of his song with LIZ. While I love the stripped-down design for MSMSMSM and LOVE (they're my #2 and #3 favs), I think they'd have much more impact had they been mixed more dynamically. As it is though, MSMSMSM's breakdown is pretty flat (always thought the live version had finger snaps during that part -- bummer!), and LOVE seems like a missed opportunity to really explore some dynamic range. I also agree that VYZEE's bridge doesn't work as well with the scaled-back synth (think crowds would be more excited to "jump" if it hit 'em right away), and I miss the squeaky melodic counterpart in the second half of the bridge, which I think added a lot to the earlier version. On the other hand, really glad SOPHIE figured out a much smoother transition back into the main section, as that was feeling pretty incomplete before. Also, the "mm yeah wow that's nice!" part seems to get lost in the mix.
That said, LOVE the release and realize there's an acclimation period to any studio version of a once live-only song. MSMSMSM was especially exciting before because of the screams from the crowd!

OK fine you got me
HARD > BIPP <-> L.O.V.E. > ELLE > VYZEE > JLWNSG > MSMSMSM > LEMONADE
Tie between BIPP and L.O.V.E. because they're wonderful for different reasons, but both have an element of "challenging" SOPHIE. Even in BIPP, despite being the "accessible" one that introduced us all, the beat stays half-time and never really "gets going" which I feel is really wise restraint on SOPHIE's part. Smarter to hold something back and let it hook you by all the other wacky stuff going on.
Courting controversy: LEMONADE has never really done anything for me, it's great sound design but the hook is too "easy" maybe? I did freak out though when I heard that McDonald's commercial come on the radio in a cab and my wife just rolled her eyes
Edit: this is all without having heard the good rip of L.O.V.E., SOPHIE deserves to just take my money for that one

It's definitely not my favorite but it's by far his most popular and is a huge crowd pleaser when it comes on during anyone's set. What gives? I suspect it's that SOPHIE just makes too much incredible music and this poll forced us to choose, so thus by some unfortunate coincidence of the people voting and their preferences it just happens to have not been voted anyone's #1 I voted for L.O.V.E. because it's the most "out there" I've heard from SOPHIE yet, it just takes me a level above his other stuff (and I'm basing this entirely one live show and one listen to that shite rip), but I also think Lemonade is probably his "best" track in the narrow sense that it's just as experimental sonically but you can play it at clubs and people will get into it! And only some (the hater) will leave! Don't get me wrong, love Vyzee and JLWNSG and MSMSMSM as much as the next guy but to me these tracks are more derivative, more like SOPHIE putting his touch on an already-existing genre, whilst tunes like Lemonade, Bipp and L.O.V.E. are like him launching a genre entirely of his own creation
