wow...only 3 zeroes

Can I say I'm shocked by the result? I never knew "Allentown" really had a base of support anywhere. It sent a chill down my spine as a kid but it seems a little bit...heavyhanded and obvious? But I guess like I said above, dude's a populist and sometimes an unsubtle one, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Pretty great turnout!

Also - listening to Streetlife Serenade right now and really can't fathom having "The Entertainer" on this greatest hits. Don't think that's just being familiarity with the tracklist that we had growing up...I mean, I like the song a lot, it's just that it's so sonically removed from the other stuff. Really different vibe on the Los Angeles records.

Allentown and Movin' Out both the lead-off hitters on their respective albums.

Yeah, I don't think "Easy Money" really stood a shot.

Didn't see this poll at the time; the best song is clearly Movin Out.

This album, Graceland and the West Side Story soundtrack were the trifecta of childhood holiday car albums for me.

Ooh yay what great results! And I absolutley will concur to the 3 zeros. The Entertainer alone irritates the HELL out of me
