05.14.19 | I actually devised my top 40 or so but honestly 40-10 are all basically tied.
If I had to give some particular honorable mentions: Julia, January 1979, Torches Together, Nine Stories, Red Cow, Blue Hen, Flee Thou Matadors!, and Kristy w/ The Sparkling Teeth. |
heyadam
05.14.19 | respect for the It’s All Crazy representation. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 are all on mine too for sure |
Sinternet
05.14.19 | extremely disturbing lack of foxes |
tyman128
05.14.19 | where is Rainbow Signs |
dustandnations
05.14.19 | 1 is 1 |
Veldin
05.14.19 | Cardiff Giant and Winter Solstice are definitely underrated imo. @GreyShadow - Nine Stories is also class.
Rainbow Signs [2] for sure |
Sinternet
05.14.19 | this is like the basicest list for people who got into them in the last year, smh pay respect to the actual classics |
Veldin
05.14.19 | o dam |
nightbringer
05.14.19 | Good list, I also appreciate the It's All Crazy representation. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | Put the full list up! Some great picks here, can't disagree with anything apart from maybe Binary Pt. 2 (you did miss out the best track on Crazy though...) |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | Sint if that were the case the whole list would be Julia, New Wine and Bethlehem (altho the lack of anything pre-BS is sad) |
Lucman
05.14.19 | Sad to see no mention of Rainbow and Michael Row Your Boat but solid list. Love the Ten Stories picks |
NordicMindset
05.14.19 | The lack of A to B Life is disturbing |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | If there's one album without a top 10 mwY track, it's probably A to B tbf |
Sinternet
05.14.19 | no that would be ten stories, easily their weakest |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | Damn no wtf ten stories has some of their best lyrics, possibly their best sequencing and my fave mwY song |
GreyShadow
05.14.19 | Bullet to Binary, Torches Together, Tie Me Up! Untie Me!, January 1979, The Soviet, Silencer, and Everything Was Beautiful... are all somewhere in the top 30 or so if that makes anyone feel any better |
GreyShadow
05.14.19 | Ten Stories is easily my favorite btw |
GreyShadow
05.14.19 | I feel like BtB Pt2 is very underrated. that whole 2nd half fucks me up. |
tyman128
05.14.19 | “if that makes anyone feel any better”
no because there is still no mention of Rainbow Signs anywhere |
Josh D.
05.14.19 | list needs some Red Cow stat |
Josh D.
05.14.19 | let this performance of it change your mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qmEfkPkxR4 |
GreyShadow
05.14.19 | my bad opinion: Rainbow Signs is alright. it might be my least fave on Pale Horses. lyrically it's probably the best though.
Red Cow, however, is definitely top 20. |
Sinternet
05.14.19 | red cow is my #2 and that performance is legendary
january 1979 has it beat though, just the most perfect song |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | January 1979 is pretty much as good as it gets, probably my #2 after Nine Stories |
NordicMindset
05.14.19 | Nice and Blue |
Sowing
05.14.19 | Oh boy |
Sowing
05.14.19 | Some really solid picks here but mine would be very different looking |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.14.19 | Something tells me that a grade-A SowingBomb was almost dropped but then aborted right there ;] |
NordicMindset
05.14.19 | I’m off the odd belief that their first and last albums are their two best, so Nice and Blue and 9:27 7/29 are their top 2 for me |
Mardorien
05.15.19 | I'd like to voice that Fiji Mermaid (for the really, really good ending) should be somewhere on that list. |
Mardorien
05.15.19 | Though, making a top 10 of mwY tracks seems a tad redundant; most are so good I'd regret not putting something on and want to change the list constantly. |
Artuma
05.15.19 | extremely disturbing lack of foxes [2]
actually 3 is the only song here that would certainly be on my list. appreciate the effort, the end result not so much |
TeethGang
05.15.19 | 3 is 1 imo |
heyadam
05.15.19 | In no order: porcupine, fox’s Dream, bear’s vision, the Soviet, paper hanger, Mexican war streets, a glass can only spill, Fox crow cookie, August 6th, rainbow signs |
Josh D.
05.15.19 | There was a time when The Soviet was all I listened to, not sure how I forgot about it. Unbelievable song; I'd have a tough time not putting it at number one. |
GreyShadow
05.15.19 | Fiji Mermaid is another top track I agree.
The Soviet is fucking crazy.
I could have put this band on shuffle and picked the first 10 songs that appeared and I'd probably have been met with similar reception. |
GreyShadow
05.15.19 | or I could have made everyone happy with this super basic but effective list
10 King Beetle
9 Silencer
8 Julia
7 The Soviet
6 Bear's Vision
5 O Porcupine
4 Michael
3 In a Sweater Poorly Knit
2 Rainbow Signs
1 January 1979
but where's the fun in that? |
Josh D.
05.15.19 | and still no Red Cow, you and me, outside, right now |
GreyShadow
05.15.19 | 11 Red Cow. everyone is officially happy |
heyadam
05.15.19 | that intro build up/drop in Soviet is life giving.
also, I was looking down her dress GOOD GOD |
NordicMindset
05.15.19 | still missing Nice and Blue |
heyadam
05.15.19 | my sleeper pick is low key Grist for the Malady Mill. Idk why but I fuck with it so hard. |
