We were talking about this in it's old thread last week and I realized that while I rarely go a couple of months without spinning I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, I probably hadn't pulled this one out in years. It's going to be hard to vote for anything other than "Hit The Switch," but I'm looking forward to spending some time with this record again.

i don't even know what i'm going to vote for. easy/lucky/free is pretty great but hit the switch has more visceral/memorable lyrics.

Spun this a couple times since starting this poll, though didn't spend as much time with it as I'd've liked to--really shouldn't have polled this during the last days of the Dylan poll, essentially. Whole album is solid, but I still gotta go with "Hit The Switch."

voted easy/lucky/free because it's the one i play the most but in general i love this album and it makes me all kinds of happy to see that other people on ilx appreciate it.

Worthy winner, but I would have expected "Hit The Switch" to get more votes than just mine.
