91. Belle and Sebastian- "Lazy Line Painter Jane"

naus (Robert T), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:25 (twenty-one years ago)

That's ok, you can be 92. Mine was sort of a nerdy joke.

Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:37 (twenty-one years ago)

90 "Like A Hurricane (Unplugged)" - Neil Young

billstevejim (billstevejim), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wait, that might be an accordion.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

No I'm pretty sure it's an organ. awesome version.

Jole, Friday, 1 July 2005 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Seeing as Joe already picked Yes' "Awaken", I'll go for Spirit's "Soldier". I'll be amazed if this reaches 100!

Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 1 July 2005 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Talulah Gosh (s/t) ... what an incredibly pompous end to a song!

Jez (Jez), Friday, 1 July 2005 07:51 (twenty-one years ago)

No I'm pretty sure it's an organ. awesome version.

yes, it's one of those truly bizarre stand-alone mini-pipe-organ things; i remember seeing him playing it on the MTV unplugged set. i'd never really paid attention to neil young before, but that made me sit up and start taking some serious notice.

i was going to say toccata and fugue as well. can't think of anything else, sadly.

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 1 July 2005 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)
