I've started a Spotify playlist- it's collaborative, so fill your boots if I'm not around:

Sweet, thanks for making that!

bright side of the road is van's "oh yoko"

― rock and roll tucci coo (voodoo chili), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:10 (eight years ago)

If I'd voted, the take from the '90s Bang Masters comp would've been in my top 10, easily. I love the instructions he gives to the band after the false start ("should be freer"), and his "keep it there, keep it there" near the end.

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:14 (eight years ago)

lol he looks like mac demarco there

44 (tie). Real Real Gone
from Enlightenment
4 votes, 70 points

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:18 (eight years ago)

This is one of my favorite late-period Van songs.

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:18 (eight years ago)

Real Real Gone, you deserved more discussion. But we have to move on.

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:24 (eight years ago)

Here is the first from Astral Weeks. Can anyone guess what it will be?

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:25 (eight years ago)

beside you or slim slow slider

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:26 (eight years ago)

What brad said. I didn't vote for either.

44 (tie). Beside You
from Astral Weeks
4 votes, 70 points

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)

I'm not a fan of Beside You. Putting it 2nd on Astral Weeks doesn't do the album any favors (in my humble opinion).

43 (tie). These Dreams of You
from Moondance
5 votes, 72 points

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:41 (eight years ago)

didn't vote for beside you, but it's pretty key to setting up Astral Weeks' mystery in my opinion.

the title track is a sweeping two-chord epic that whisks you up into the slipstream, but beside you is so foreign and disorienting--no rhythm to speak of, strange swirling folk instruments. accepting beside you is surrendering yourself into van's cosmic whims.

― rock and roll tucci coo (voodoo chili), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:42 (eight years ago)

I voted for These Dreams of You, the bridge is majestic.

well HUSH-A-BYYYYYYYE

― rock and roll tucci coo (voodoo chili), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:43 (eight years ago)

xp excellent articulation of why I voted for it, thx

― sleeve, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:48 (eight years ago)

Here's a good one I discovered from this poll...

from No Guru, No Method, No Teacher
5 votes, 72 points

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:52 (eight years ago)

Forgive the typo in the next pic, this song is from 1965 not 1988.

41. Haunts of Ancient Peace
from Common One
6 votes, 77 points

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 4 August 2017 15:14 (eight years ago)

love that song

Common One obviously is a lot slicker and more fusion pro but I think it's also the closest he ever got back to the spiritual world he channels on astral weeks

― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 4 August 2017 15:17 (eight years ago)

Here comes a fairly big surprise...

loving the 45 picture sleeves

― sleeve, Friday, 4 August 2017 15:29 (eight years ago)

Thanks. I was sure this would be in the top 20. Tupelo Honey is clearly not an ILM favorite.
