Last minute cut for me, just not a big fave. Shout out for the Nick Cave cover.

And who could forget the, um, editing of the Last Waltz performance?

helpless is so dreamy.

"Helpless" was my #1, i singlehandedly moved it up about 6 spots in the results

Another lifetime of misheard lyrics: always thought it was "dream, comfort, memory, despair," the internet's telling me "dream, comfort, memory to spare." I like my version a little better.

I have so many mixed feelings and weird ties to the little Northern New England town where I grew up, and "Helpless" seems to be on a parallel course.

love the original, but having joni in the wings responding to the lyrics in LW is just ridiculous
― da croupier, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
i prefer the solo versions of helpless to the csny, kinda hate joni singing on the last waltz (love joni elsewhere of course)
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
i love the last waltz for being a chronicle of a fascinating moment of time with some great music, but there's pretty much no song i wouldn't prefer in a different version if i'm not watching it

Very high...like it on the album, would never have guessed it would do so well here.
YEAHHHHH voted for it, didn't think it would place this high

I get why "Helpless" works for folks, but definitely a fatigued number for me. Definitely some favorites of mine are not gonna place at this point.

I think it must be so indescribably weird for anyone who interacted with Manson circa '67 to carry that around in your head.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
Whereas "Revolution Blues" knocked me on my ass the first time I heard it and does to this day. I can just listen to the bass on that song and get taken "there" every time, love it to death.
― grandavis, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
love danko and helm on revolution blues, hope there are outtakes of them playing w/ neil on any upcoming archives releases. i'd just like to hear them discussing the song, tbh.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't vote in this, but Revolution Blues is top 3 NY for me
― mod night at the oasis (NickB), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
ha, never noticed that danko and helm were on "Revolution Blues," that's great
― da croupier, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
yeah they're also on "see the sky about to rain"
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
That looks to be quite a sporty fur on one of the Manson girls.

Was my #3!

Didn't vote for RB but on reflection should have.

"I'm a barrel of laughs with my carbine on" = one of many classic lines in that song

it's funny, i voted for "ohio," think it's great, but figured it was love/hate enough not to rank this high
― da croupier, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Really weird to me that David Crosby plays on Revolution Blues as well. Have trouble imagining him "grooving" with it.

Many unforgettable on-the-spot photos to choose from, including the most famous one, but this felt nice.

have honestly never given a fuck about the song "Ohio", surprised people rate it so highly

Nice image. After writing a lot about Ohio I bought the relevant copy of Life magazine in a vintage magazine store and framed it but that would be way too obvious here. Images generally A+ I have to say. Some could be stills from a Shakey movie.
― Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah this song doesn't do anything for me. "I love Ohio (the place) even if it is super duper fucked up" kind of a weird reason for voting it #1?
― boxall, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
yesss, caught up finally. What a bunch of great music. Excited about this top 10.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
and yes - the images you are picking are FANTASTIC, Clemenza - thanks for putting such thought into this! I was a lazy GISer who didn't format any pictures when I ran the Pulp poll :(
