pink moon poll

I'll be lame and say the title track. Drake's debut was always my favorite album though.

"Know"

which will

"From the Morning," but it could have been many others.

For any Pink Moon enthusiasts, Amanda Petrusich's new book for the 33 1/3 series is essential:

place to be

from the morning

for the morning.

(hmm maybe Parasite.. lifting the mask of a local clown feeling down like him)

oh sweet. i haven't listened to this in so long. "place to be"

curtis otm though, every song's perfect.

'Things Behind the Sun' because it is winter and stuff

there will never be another Nick Drake!

It's "Things Behind the Sun" or "Parasite" and everything else is a step behind those two.

"road", the only song i know the lyrics from by heart:

you can say the sun is shining
if you really want to
i can see the moon and it seems so clear
you can take the road that takes you to the stars now
i can take a road that i'll see me through

it's nick drake in a nutshell.

'things behind the sun' by quite a margin, and i love the album all the way through. but that track is such a glorious centrepiece, so moody and captivating with the man's most haunting guitar line (perhaps along with 'joey')

Road

"Things Behind the Sun" for me, thanks.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

place to be please.

"things behind the sun" always destroys me.

"Things Behind The Sun" for me, too.

"From The Morning" in a very close can't be separated tie with "Pink Moon" for second place.

Y'know, I never really like this record all that much. I do love Northern Sky so much. So very very much.

Free Ride

Road, but its a Tough Call.

parasite

I thought Place To Be would be the answer for half of you all. It is for me.

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

No love for "Horn."

"Horn" is great. And so is "Harvest Breed."

ILX poll in coming up with the right answer shocker.

certainly not surprised at the winner

Man, I am. I am stunned that this is the consensus pick actually.

it's the standard tuning..

must have missed this one.

Road = Robbed

I've been listening to this a lot recently, for the first time in years, because of Amanda's book.

Went with "Parasite". Super surprised by the results. Would have guessed teh title track.

i used to listen to this in 2005. i am listening to it now.

fantastic album

one of the best.
has there been a "classic albums under 30 minutes poll"?

reign in blood vs. pink moon?

yeah, i very close to voting for this in the Acclaimed 1972 poll but haven't pulled that trigger yet.

unlike Five Leaves Left, it may have actually been since my original post ITT since I listened to Pink Moon.

I can't believe I forgot the brilliance of the poll winner. Those chords, fuuuuuuuck. so glad to have re-acquainted with it tonight.

i'm down and need some Nick

Been on a Nick Drake binge lately. The 3LP Time Has Told Me bootleg is my current favorite. He covers all these old blues and folk tunes like “Been Smoking Too Long” and “Get Together” and it’s all just home recordings but it’s great. I know those recordings have shown up on other bootlegs before but those all had horrible sound quality, whereas this one is crystal clear and sounds like Nick is there playing right next to you. Fucking amazing! Nick was a goddamn genius.

Do please watch this if you haven’t

Fantastic! A ten-out-of-ten classic every bit as good as his studio albums! I’m not exactly Mr. Sound Quality Audiophile Expert here, but I am just super-impressed by the quality, especially for a bootleg. (I’ve also heard The Complete Home Recordings bootleg and that sounds garbage.) I notice that some of these recordings were legitimately released a couple years ago as an album called Family Tree, but scrolling down the tracklist I can see even that doesn’t have “Summertime” or his HEART-ACHINGLY GORGEOUS version of “Don’t Think Twice (It’s Alright)” on it. Nick’s discography is complicated!

God, what an album. It'd have to be From the Morning or Place to Be.

I went to his grave a couple of years back. It's a beautiful spot and he's a got great view across the fields. The inscription on the back of the headstone (now we rise, and we are everywhere) is so perfect, his whole story feels like a conjuring.
