i remember seeing Love and Rockets in Long Beach California during Earth Sun Moon tour? anyways, they did have The Bubblemen come out and do some songs. it was sort of mind blowing with the strobe light and all.

i remember not being in the best frame of mind at that show. we were kids drinking outside before the concert. police roll up on us and two of my friends ran. they went after them and one of my friends got arrested. we didn't know if we should go to the show or not. we did end up going but i was stressed out the whole time.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:38 (ten years ago)

so for me The Bubblemen will always be remembered for that crazy night.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:39 (ten years ago)

despite all that, i did not have room on my ballot for them. too much good stuff.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:41 (ten years ago)

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:55 (ten years ago)

my number two or number one Tones on Tail song.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 21:24 (ten years ago)

i post youtubes every once in a while if there is something cool and not basic.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 21:41 (ten years ago)

the juggernaut that is Earth Sun Moon.

I'm glad to be reminded of it by this poll. It inspired me to put ESM on again for the first time in a while, and I was happy at how well it holds up. I'm not sure how other people will feel about this, but in terms of general quality and general effect I don't place it all that far from the almost contemporaneous Robyn Hitchcock album Element of Light (another mostly white album cover). Both have this really nice organic classic pop psychedelia thing going on.

dlp9001, Thursday, 31 March 2016 21:59 (ten years ago)

an album i will need to check out.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 22:04 (ten years ago)

two number one votes in a row.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 22:06 (ten years ago)

i have heard saudade played at both a wedding and a funeral.

stirmonster, Thursday, 31 March 2016 22:09 (ten years ago)

Wow, interesting fact.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 22:20 (ten years ago)

the song is really beautiful and really not like anything else they did.

one of the best hit songs from the 80s.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 22:29 (ten years ago)

in my Top 10.

i think only one person voted "Acoustic."

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:02 (ten years ago)

"Ball of Confusion" was released before Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, but since the USA mix could not be fit on the reissue of that album, it was appended to the Express reissue. Was also on the US release of Express.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:13 (ten years ago)

i like the 12" mix best:

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:14 (ten years ago)

did not know this was the debut single until i did this poll.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:16 (ten years ago)

it was actually the US mix it liked best.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:29 (ten years ago)

Lots of catching up to do.

"Ball Of Confusion" was the first L&R song I heard. I used to really like it, but it's been overplayed for me. Still voted for it though.

"All In My Mind" is a great pop song that just makes me happy.

"So Alive" should be overplayed cause I lived that summer of '89 as a teen but I still like hearing it. I thought L&R fans hated it though, so I'm surprised to see it high.

Happy to see The Bubblemen place. I liked the concept of having a side project as themselves with costumes, as if they didn't have enough side projects already!

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:33 (ten years ago)

makes me so happy, lol.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:42 (ten years ago)

such a great little number, made my ballot.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:42 (ten years ago)

I forgot about the Bubblemen, glad that made it

the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Thursday, 31 March 2016 23:42 (ten years ago)

"Time Has Got Nothing to Do With It" is pretty great and made my ballot.

Didn't vote for "Ball Of Confusion" on the grounds of it being a cover, but I'm not sick of it.

Happy to see lots of Tones on Tail even if they're mostly not my picks. And lots of ESM.

only a couple more for tonight.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 00:10 (ten years ago)

You are disintegrating, onto everything around.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 00:16 (ten years ago)

this song was just outside my Top 10.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 00:21 (ten years ago)

Just rocks. Thought it would be Top 10. Was my #7 or 8 I think.

LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 1 April 2016 00:22 (ten years ago)

Love the exchanging voices during the verse.

LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 1 April 2016 00:24 (ten years ago)

my number 10 ends up being the number 11.
