My boss at the newspaper, not otherwise known for exemplary taste, says "Harbor Lights" is his favorite song ever.

Side 1 is forgettable, side 2 highly consistent. Voted Lowdown, I'd be surprised if the top three are not that, Lido Shuffle and We're All Alone.

amazing that i have the hubris to pick anything other than "lowdown" tbh

but the reason i started this poll was "what do you want the girl to do" so maybe i should be true to that

one for the roooooooaaad

LOOK OUT FOOL...JUMP STREET!

Really wish I could do a karaoke version of Lido Shuffle right now

i'll rep for georgia. but will probably vote for lowdown

side 1 is not forgettable wtf

closing this thread now

We're All Alone

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

good excuse to listen again

CLOSE THE WINDOWS
LOCK THE DOOR

I have fallen hard for this record.

went into the record trying to find a pick besides the two big singles and while "love me tomorrow" is great, the more i listen to "lowdown" the more i think it's one of the greatest songs of all time

we’re all alone

but i could vote for so many, all these songs are so fantastic

but the reason i started this poll was "what do you want the girl to do" so maybe i should be true to that

i ultimately was

but we're all alone, Brad

haha it says i already voted, might have been for lido. lido/lowdown are both fantastic, even if i've drifted towards the latter recently

I voted for lido but it's definitely lowdown for me. I am silly

this is one of my two or three favorite records of all time and I could talk about it all day but won't. we're all alone is unbelievable, singular, but "Jump Street" has my heart -- it's almost total chaos and somehow it ends up cohering, so unhinged yet so meticulous

on the eve of the runoff it's hard not to vote for "Georgia"

run this back minus lido and lowdown imo

btw who sequences 'lido' next-to-last on side b

a genius

it’s perfect where it is, imo

a daredevil

one of the best records

i think i like 'georgia' and 'harbor lights' best

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

What can I say?

there’s no wrong answer, really

except the 0 votes make me sad :(

we're all alone

“Does the world need another white singer/songwriter dabbling in neo-Philly sweet soul?” Vivien Goldman asked in an early review. “I listened to this album over and over and over, hoping to be able to say yes. Now the answer is a qualified yes.”

that p4k review was so good.
