Ha, thanks! I ran out of Veedon Fleec pics. There's only so many times ya can look at Van with Irish Wolfhounds.

Anyway, Wild Night. That is a hell of a song. It was very high on my ballot.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link
huh yeah i thought "wild night" would be top ten

Am I the only person who considers Mellencamp and Meshell's cover excellent?

you've never heard it?

Yes, it's great. It's hard to mess that song up, but they certainly deliver. That was John Mellencamp's last big hit, I think.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 19:42 (six years ago) link
And into the Top 15. Let's start it off with a masterpiece...

i believe i caught the beginning of the video several times in 1994 and switched channels for fear of my parents coming in

it's good though i wish someone other than mellencamp were singing it

I am surprised that Streets of Arklow is a top 3 Veedon Fleece song here
― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 20:08 (six years ago) link
unless there are more surpises
― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 20:09 (six years ago) link
I should not be surprised. It is fantastic.
― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link
It just feels more like a segue between the linden arden/masked man suite and the album's centerpiece

I was just listening to "You Don't Pull No Punches But You Don't Push the River" in the car.

Prediction: #1 is the only one that no one will say "too low" about.

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 20:44 (six years ago) link
was it van who said if you threw a guitar down the stairs it would eventually play the chord sequence of "gloria"
Can you dig the top ten?
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link
The first time I listened to It's Too Late To Stop Now (about 3 decades after I should have first listened to it), when he went into "Gloria" I thought, "Ugh, why does he have to cover this cliched war-horse...oh wait...he WROTE this."
