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."

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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