And it's getting late, yes it is, yes it is.

SUGAR BAAAABY

With your champagne eyes and your saint-like smile

― rock and roll tucci coo (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:03 (eight years ago)

I say we stop here today. I want suspense created as inexorably as Van pausing over a syllable in It's Too Late...

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:04 (eight years ago)

Sweet thing made my top ten

When I was compiling the votes, I played it on repeat for about 30 minutes and it sounded better every time.

Plus Van coins a new phrase in it, no regrettiance. So much more sophisticated than "no regrets."

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:34 (eight years ago)

Way upon...

and I'm conquered in a car seat

― she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:38 (eight years ago)

Not a thing that I can do

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:41 (eight years ago)

This was a song I read about in great detail before ever hearing, in that Lester Bangs anthology from the 1980s. It did not disappoint.

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:42 (eight years ago)

obvious point but it's extremely worth watching him tear this shit up live

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:42 (eight years ago)

Yes. And of course, the version on It's Too Late To Stop Now is off the charts intense.

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:43 (eight years ago)

Before any ballots came in, I figured this next song would win in a landslide. It did not.

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:45 (eight years ago)

title track?

Same.

― jmm, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:49 (eight years ago)

I believe that must be Janet Planet on that Into The Mystic sleeve.

She sells handmade jewelry on etsy, you can visit her store below.

Now, every ILM poll worth its salt has a Sway, ie a relatively obscure album track that charts unusually high. It's named after the immortal Rolling Stones song from Sticky Fingers.

It's time for Sway.

What the hell does that line mean?

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 21:56 (eight years ago)

that poll pun push

― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:57 (eight years ago)

Check this song out. It’s on, in my opinion, Van’s second best album, Veedon Fleece.

whatever, jake

― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:58 (eight years ago)

when jake's right, jake's right

― rock and roll tucci coo (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 August 2017 21:58 (eight years ago)

particular song i wish weren't hanging somewhere outside of the top 52: "you're my woman"

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 22:00 (eight years ago)

also "irish heartbeat"

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 22:00 (eight years ago)

are we done with Common One and Into the Music tracks?
