Can I just post Gentlemen and Black Love and be done with it?

I just realized I have some bootleg comp of covers, b-sides & rarities called "Now We Can Begin." Nice to have a bunch of odds and ends in one place.

end date is: please get your ballots in as soon as you can, but if people need more time that's fine. no hard deadline at the moment, just want to get as many ballots as possible so we can have something of a decent rollout since turnout has been pretty low
― ufo, Monday, 7 June 2021 02:31 (two years ago) link
if you're having trouble, remember you can do an unranked ballot! (just make sure to say so in the email)

Will get mine in today - just need to relisten to the last few albums chronologically... on it.

This is too hard. I thought I had a good handle on them but ... I'm basically going to be choosing from Gentlemen, Black Love, 1965 and the first Twilight Singers' record.― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Friday, June 4, 2021 11:18 PM (three days ago)

...but only because doing a separate covers ballot makes it possible to focus even that much. In order to help myself think properly about this, and then throw together a last-minute basic bitch main ballot, here are the covers I am trying to whittle down from (and a few I haven't heard):
