The cover of the album features a detail from Maxfield Parrish's seminal painting Daybreak.

I would have had a ballot very heavy on Mask, The Sky's Gone Out and Earth Sun Moon

My #1 song would likely have been "1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash"

also I am enjoying Ned's quotes all over the Wikipedia entries for these albums

they are great, i was going to add a few of them to the albums roll-out but as you can see didn't end up doing that.

I remember hearing the Dali's Car album for the first time about fifteen years ago and thinking, "Hey, this isn't nearly as bad as people told me it would be!"

Revisiting it for this poll was a chore, quite frankly, and I now understand where all the hate came from.

i don't know it at all.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:24 (eight years ago) link

my favorite cover for Tones on Tail, part of the reason i used original artwork.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link

i voted for this song, love when the song opens up and the sky's falling.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link

damn, didn't re-size that image. the album part of this poll had larger images.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:44 (eight years ago) link

Always found it very similar to "Slice Of Life".

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:52 (eight years ago) link

good point, never thought of it that way.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:58 (eight years ago) link

the best things in life comes in threes?

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:01 (eight years ago) link

there goes somebody's number one.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:04 (eight years ago) link

'Twas I.

Austin, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:11 (eight years ago) link

it does seem like the perfect closing track. i never hear it that way as i owned Night Music but it did close out Pop.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:18 (eight years ago) link

i did also include it in my ballot.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:18 (eight years ago) link

haha, glad this song made the poll!

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:25 (eight years ago) link

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.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 20:37 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

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

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

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 (eight years ago) link

Top 20

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

my number two or number one Tones on Tail song.

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

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.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

an album i will need to check out.

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

two number one votes in a row.

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

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

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

Wow, interesting fact.

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

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