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

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

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.

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

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

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

i think only one person voted "Acoustic."

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

"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 (eight years ago) link

i like the 12" mix best:

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

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

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

it was actually the US mix it liked best.

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

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 (eight years ago) link

makes me so happy, lol.

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

such a great little number, made my ballot.

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

I forgot about the Bubblemen, glad that made it

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

"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 (eight years ago) link

You are disintegrating, onto everything around.

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

this song was just outside my Top 10.

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

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

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

Love the exchanging voices during the verse.

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

my number 10 ends up being the number 11.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:01 (eight years ago) link

The lack of David J songs is making me sad.

Austin, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:05 (eight years ago) link

that is it for tonight. Top 10 tomorrow.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:25 (eight years ago) link

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:26 (eight years ago) link

mail, main

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:50 (eight years ago) link

Bauhaus will start tomorrow, can't wait.

Bee OK, Friday, 1 April 2016 01:51 (eight years ago) link

Great list so far. I can only think of 5 or 6 songs that will make the Top 10 for sure, so I can't wait to see the rest.

LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 1 April 2016 03:28 (eight years ago) link
