that "September" analogy is spot-on.

I love love love the interplay of guitars in "Visions", it is a total trip. The bass is stellar, too.― m bison, Thursday, July 12, 2007 8:44 PM (4 years ago)

Those acoustic guitars are soooo gorgeous!

So, 'As' is regarded better than 'Another Star'? Hm.

― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 15:57 (fourteen years ago)
Gotta say, for awhile, this was trending into the top 10.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 16:04 (fourteen years ago)
jam. forgot to vote for it tho. only voted for one song where stevie wasn't the lead voice on it, and i bet i'm the only person to do so (busta's been through the storm).

Why does Eddie get top billing and capitalisation?

That's a surprise.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 16:39 (fourteen years ago)
That it placed so low or so high or at all?
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 16:40 (fourteen years ago)
So high; I figured most of you would find it too... cheesy?(I really like it BTW, although I didn't think I voted for it.)
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 16:42 (fourteen years ago)
there's clearly no lack of appreciation for Wonder Cheese in these results, I'd say I hate at least a third of the things that have placed so far

No cheese there imo.
dope song

Very, very pleased to see such broad support for that one.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 16:51 (fourteen years ago)
"My Cherie Amour" is not Wonder cheese. It's Wonderful.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 October 2011 16:51 (fourteen years ago)
Great song! Also the first one of my list to place.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 10 October 2011 16:55 (fourteen years ago)
You had "Sunshine" on your ballot, too.

CREEPIN in a BEAST of a song.

If you don't like "Creepin'" you don't like things that are silky and sexy.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:16 (fourteen years ago)
If someone doesn't like Creepin, well, I just don't think I'd like that person.

Pleased that WCWIO made it. One of the great Beatles Band covers.

― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:22 (fourteen years ago)
I think I already mentioned this on some thread or another, but I regard the change from "Superwoman" into "Where Were You, et al" to be one of the greatest modulations in his entire songbook.
oof, we're up to #16 already => a whole bunch of tracks I thought would easily make the Top 40 apparently won't.
― Jeff W, Monday, 10 October 2011 17:25 (fourteen years ago)
Superwoman at first seems not that great but with like every second it hypnotises you a little bit more. It becomes such a perfect moment that you kind of zone out.
Kinda worrying my #1 won't make it. It is a p prominant album cut but there are so many big name singles still to come that i dunno...
― Ravaging Rick Rude (a hoy hoy), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:26 (fourteen years ago)
Need to take a lunch break. Remaining 5 in a little bit.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:26 (fourteen years ago)
Also, I'll say it again. Some of the songs that fell outside of the top 40, much less top 20, really surprised me.
― michael assbender (Eric H.), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:27 (fourteen years ago)
one song i am intrigued to see its overall ranking is happy birthday. i dont suppose it is anywhere near the top 15 but i kinda thought it would make the top 40
― Ravaging Rick Rude (a hoy hoy), Monday, 10 October 2011 17:29 (fourteen years ago)
The last four songs were all on my ballot so I'm not too worried about the rest of the top 20. I only have big doubts for my number 2.
