Best Last Song on a Brian Eno "Rock" Album, 1973-1977

honestly don't think I can decide between 'here come the warm jets' and 'spider and I'

perfect vs. perfect

it's certainly not either of the middle two tho

Warm Jets > Spider >>>>>>>>>>> Tiger Mt >>>>> Spirits

Nice timing on this thread -- I've been thinking about/listening to these four a lot lately.

why thank you

Spider, which also has the honor of being among Eno's best tunes period.

Yes.

warm jets

yeah i'm voting for 'warm jets.'

Warm Jets. Honorable mention to Spirits, which is unsettling and strange despite doing almost nothing to announce its presence, and signaled his path forward thereafter. For reference:

Warm Jets

Tiger Mountain

Spirits Drifting

Spider and I

Can I say that Spirits Drifiting is more of a coda and Everything Merges With the Night is the real last song on Another Green World?

Sure

Not so sure. Tonight's the first time I've listened to Spirits Drifting as something other than coda, as a stand alone entity, and it's bowling me over. I thought codas are supposed to bring some resolution, but this tends in the opposite direction.

Here Come The Warm Jets Here Come The Warm Jets Here Come The Warm Jets!

I actually tried to play that song for my friend tonight, I let him hear my iPod. He said "let's get stoned first before I hear that" LOL

"Jets" for me - that circular melody could've sustained itself for another 10 minutes and I'd be happy.

Now somebody's got to poll the best first song, just for the opportunity of titling the thread "POLL Position"...

Can I say that Spirits Drifiting is more of a coda and Everything Merges With the Night is the real last song on Another Green World?

You can but how songy are the other three? And besides, part of the genius of Another Green World is its fragmented, coda-like, overheard nature.

Anyhoo, song or coda, "Spirits Drifting" for me. It's like getting a really great massage from someone you despise.

"Here Come The Warm Jets" (wow, that feels goofy to type); I'm a sucker for a song that seems to have been written and performed backwards.

Special write-in vote for the last song of side one of the Tiger Mountain LP, "The Great Pretender," for the lock-groove that sounds like crickets chirping endlessly.

What happens on the CD version of that?

You can but how songy are the other three?

"Spider and I" is pretty songy, Kev...

seriously this is so easy warm jets

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

WTF -- it's not that easy.

"Jets" for me - that circular melody could've sustained itself for another 10 minutes and I'd be happy.

Now reading the Eno bio "On Some Faraway Beach," which mentions that "Jets" was originally intended to be 10 minutes long. So now you can suffer in disappointment for what might have been.

I'm the only one who voted for "Spirits Drifting???" Wonder if Geeta would've backed me up.

Taking Tiger Mountain is one of my favorite songs ever, so that.

TTM reminds me of the summer my cat died.

seriously this is so easy warm jets

HCTWJ = like maybe my favorite songgg

"here come the warm jets" wins because it is encoded in the collective unconscious of humankind, the others are just songs

^^^Wrong (on the latter point, anyway)
