Is someone doing a Spotify playlist for these results?

i only voted for 5 albums, but i'm still surprised that Popular Songs was last. I think only one cut from that record made my top 25 (Periodically Double or Triple), but I've been returning to it recently and find it solid. Guess I'm the only one?

voodoo chili, yes --
I've found myself listening along slightly belatedly (fine selections so far!), so made it a collaborative Spotify playlist. https://open.spotify.com/user/empeecee/playlist/7K4JaHe2wQxsYFEdY0bvq9May struggle to update it in real time myself (timezones, eh?), so obviously feel free...

I might infuriate purists but if I had to show YLT to a new listener I'd go with both Today is the Day.

(Baseball Afro...Angela Davis and Pam Grier and a few other people had even more famous Afros. I had a decent white-guy Afro myself.)

I voted for "Return to Hot Chicken," but not this one. I can't think of the connection off-hand...both instrumentals, right?

Never understood the hot chicken thing either, if someone with the knowledge could tell us!

They (used to) record in Nashville a lot. Nashville-style hot chicken is a regional thing, and Prince's is a legendary joint. Wait times of several hours reported...it's like getting brisket at Franklin's.

it has put me to sleep more than any other song ever, probably by an order of magnitude, and i mean that in the most complimentary of ways
Yeah, Night Falls (and the next one) being outside of the top 20 was a huge surprise to me. Probably the two biggest of the poll.

I mean, Everyday is in top 20. But I thought it would be higher. I scream a traditional TOO LOW at both.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 4 June 2015 01:48 (nine years ago) link
So many songs from Inside-Out made it--seemed like almost every one except for the song I voted for.
― clemenza, Thursday, 4 June 2015 01:49 (nine years ago) link
these quiet songs are nice and i like them, but i guess what has made the band special to me is when they make the loud songs just as intimate

Just catching up with this. I had Flying Lesson (Hot Chicken) In my top 5. It looks as if Judy about everything from Electro-Pura will place. Very cool. Also nice to see Detouring America With Horns so high.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 4 June 2015 02:05 (nine years ago) link
The last two hit my ideal for YLT, totally enveloping and intimate but also with a lot of momentum and not lulling me to sleep (though the latter is totally fine, see "Night Falls on Hoboken")
