Thing I love about Pride is the way it sounds like someone is winding up a spring and then letting it spin during each line of the verses.

Calming Lechera's nerves, I will mention that I voted "From the Gut". High up, even. One of those songs where I can still remember the needle hitting the groove for the first time; my mom's cheapie all-in-one turntable, autumn light streaming through her apartment's picture window, no one else at home.

I'm too young to have ever seen Husker Du, but did anyone see Dwight Yoakam opening up in 1986?

A reminder that the deadline for voting in this poll ends in a few hours.
I haven't checked today, but I know as of last night, we had 12-15 ballots submitted.
That said, I'm meeting some family members for pre-Thanksgiving and likely won't be home until 7 or 8 pm CST (0100-0200 GMT). If any ballots trickle in during that time, who would I be to turn them away.

No, but I saw them in 1987 with The Shamen supporting, bit of a mismatch really.

Vote! If nothing else, dilute the impact my ballot has on this, heh.

Just out of curiosity, how is this anyway? A couple of intriguing band/song combinations (Walt Mink, Janitor Joe). I remember seeing this in shops, but never bit. It's not on Spotify...

The only one I remember vividly is the Pink Turns To Blue cover which was damn near Bangles' Hazy Shade of Winter Pt. II. I liked it.

Exactly 90 songs were submitted and voted upon. I know I said let's do 33, but how about we amend that to 30. It'll still be 33-percent. Ties be damned.
25 ballots were received. If you did not get a response from me, please let me know as soon as possible.
Now.. let's see... hmmm. Anyone here ever used a spreadsheet before?

Were you able to figure out something? If you're stuck, let me know--I could probably tabulate 25 ballots/500 songs in an hour or so.

Ranked them all at No. 11.

Seeing that it was a direct and very representative portent of Things To Come (much more so than the one-off Statues, which was very PiL), it seems insane there's no studio recording of Amusement.

Getting geeked for this.
Probably will start the new thread in the morning, Tulsa Time, with the albums and band members. Then begin with the top 1/3 sometime around 1300 CST/1900 GMT.
