Mildly surprised nobody mentioned this yet on the thread:

listening to "one in versailles" this morning. what an amazing record and a great way to start the day !
i think it's easily as good as BVS, which is another way of saying it's one of the best records ever. not sure why people aren't constantly being blown away by how good it is.

Didn't realize there was a Shoes box set put out this year:

Was looking for a gift for a friend--I've got all their Elektra albums. I don't know what "clamshell" means, but not exactly a bargain: five songs per CD.

I see above there was an earlier box set two years ago. Giving them as many box sets as votes for the #1 songs in this poll.

i almost said: well, i've heard "bazooka" — but then remembered i always confuse that with "boomerang" — the latter is the third elektra record, the former is '75 demos. what's the best song on "present tense" ? or "tongue twister" ?

Present Tense - "Too Late," I'd say, then "Tomorrow Night" or "Now and Then"Tongue Twister - "Yes or No"
