Thanks so much for the poll Leee! It has been a dizzying experience.
I'm a little late with this, but I'm keen to see my highest unplaced make its way onto that amazing new playlist (which I might be enjoying even more than the regular rollout). N.B. Nostalgia and tears heavily influence my voting behaviours. Unplaced bolded.

My highest unplaced track (the live "Little Johnny Jewel") isn't on spotify, but "Meet me at the Jailhouse" is.

i discovered the phantastic cortney tidwell track via the poll, her voice reminds me a lot of carolyn crawley (shelleyan orphan, this mortal coil), so pure and direct. "don't let stars keep us tangled up" is one of those comfort giving songs, almost like many neil young songs but in a completely different, more shining way.
the dissidenten were an offspring of embryo one of the early jazzy krautrock bands founded 1969 in munich (two years after amon düül). embryo had already been travellng a lot, they were probably the first world music band, the dissidenten which were called embryo's dissidenten in the beginning tried to appeal to a wider public and merged arab and indian music with dance pop. they were great but in the end they didn't have the success they should have had.

Way too low. My fault: Forgot to vote it.

I've been listening to this this mix-CD I made for the car:
1. "Slipping (Into Something)," Feelies (6:00)2. "When," Grachan Moncur III (12:08)3. "Spiegel Im Spiegel," Arvo Pärt (10:38)4. "Fur Immer (Forever)," Neu! (11:17)5. "Quiet Nervousness," Manuel Göttsching (13:00)6. "How Some Jellyfish Are Born, Yo La Tengo (8:22)7. "Field of Stars," Oliver Schroer (8:15)8. "Find a Way," Feelies (7:05)
Assembled in the spirit of this poll, basically, although no strict 10-minute rule. I've never cared about streaming; I rarely listen to music when I'm sitting at the computer. Music in a car, though, life would be considerably less interesting without it--especially long songs, especially driving out in the country.

Gawd, this thread is a goddamn treasure trove! My next few days (weeks) will be all about zoning out to long tracks.(And listening to short tracks for Karl's poll, obvs.)

Ever wonder what the most popular 10:00+ songs on Spotify are? I didn't. Until 10:00 ago.https://t.co/BzmgGFXBWR— glenn mcdonald (@glenn_mcdonald) September 27, 2021

Very surprised that Blue Train is above All Blues, which I figured was a shoe-in for the top jazz track. Very surprised Deep Purple on there at all, didn't think they'd maintained a following comparable to Floyd or the Doors.
