Current Totals ———————— Le ballet d’or - 1 When I Dream of Michelangelo - 5 Come Around - 6 Anyone But You - 0 Cowboys - 5 Washington Square - 1
And Round One of Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings is on the books! Winners in bold... Le ballet d’or - 1 When I Dream of Michelangelo - 7 Come Around - 8 Anyone But You - 0 Cowboys - 7 Washington Square - 1 “Cowboys” was not shut out in the first round, which means my sanity remains for one more day. That said, “Anyone But You” becomes the latest casualty of the No Vote Wars, y’all are ruthless! Round Two comin’ up!
Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings ROUND TWO 1.) On a Tuesday in Amsterdam Long Ago vs. You Can’t Count on Me 2.) On Almost Any Sunday Morning vs. Insignificant 3.) Hanging Tree vs. 1492
You Can’t Count On Me (Kinda surprised by my choice here. I didn’t think I loved either of these songs, but I just listened to Tuesday and it really hit at some points. This is catchy, though...) On Almost Any Sunday Morning (My fav ballad on the album) 1492 (The best!)
You Can’t Count Insignificant 1492 (though I like the subtle nod to Goodnight Elisabeth at the start of Hanging Tree)
You Can’t Count on Me Insignificant Hanging Tree Second pick is real close. I love both those songs. But I think “Insignificant” is just a tad stronger. “Tuesday in Amsterdam” is, for my money, the worst song in the catalog.
You Can’t Count On Me On Almost Any Sunday Morning (tough, but this is hugely underrated so I’ll give it a vote) Hanging Tree
You Can't Count On Me Insignificant Hanging Tree It's funny how this album is really really good considering it's also their worst.
Current Totals ———————— On a Tuesday in Amsterdam Long Ago - 0 You Can’t Count on Me - 6 On Almost Any Sunday Morning - 2 Insignificant - 4 Hanging Tree - 4 1492 - 2
I listened to this album today and I think it's super underrated. The only song that I really don't think works is "Tuesday in Amsterdam." Too slow, too maudlin, too dull. But that Saturday Nights section rips and the Sunday Mornings section has some of their best ballad work.
Dang, the prevuous two ballots bring “Hanging Tree” and “1492” to a tie, meaning I’ve got to break it! You Can’t Count on Me Insignificant Hanging Tree I always hate to see a song left out in the cold, but I guess it just goes to show... You Can’t Count on Tuesdays in Amsterdam (or something.) Winners in bold... On a Tuesday in Amsterdam Long Ago - 0 You Can’t Count on Me - 9 On Almost Any Sunday Morning - 2 Insignificant - 7 Hanging Tree - 5 1492 - 4 Round Three begins next!
Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings ROUND THREE 1.) Los Angeles vs. When I Dream of Michelangelo 2.) Come Around vs. Cowboys 3.) Sundays vs. You Can’t Count on Me 4.) Insignificant vs. Hanging Tree
When I Dream of Michaelangelo Cowboys You Can’t Count On Me Hanging Tree That second one is a tough one. I could probably go either way on any given day.
