POLL: Favorite Track on Eno's "Here Comes the Warm Jets"

I totally hate "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch". Both on this and the second record Eno went with a chump track second, and it kills the momentum both times.

Jesus, someone should of really mentioned "Dead Finks Don't Talk" by now.

"Needle" is really well used in Velvet Goldmine.

Mine would be:

On Some Faraway Beach
Here Come the Warm Jets
Needles in the Camel's Eye
Baby's on Fire
Some of Them Are Old
The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch
Blank Frank
Driving Me Backwards
Dead Finks Don't Talk
Cindy Tells Me

baby's on fire

what, no love for blank frank?

Plenty of love for "Blank Frank," but There Can Be Only One.

Does anyone else unfortunately have Elton Johns Can You Feel the Love Tonight stuck in their head after listening to Here Come The Warm Jets (the song)?

Mm, no. I used to always have My Bloody Valentine stuck inmy head after listening to "Here Come The Warm Jets". No, really.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Fuckin' "Needles..." of course (although "Baby's On Fire" is a close second).

"Cindy Tells Me" is perfect.

hard to choose but lets say Paw Paw

Had to go with 'Baby's on Fire' - damn thing just makes me smile.

Everything's a close second, but "Needles".

I love me Tall Dwarfs but they pretty much owe a lot of their sound to this song alone.

I have it in my head that I really like this album but picking songs off it seems to somehow diminish it. Taking Tiger Mountain would be a TOUGH poll though.

Cindy Tells Me

Baby's On Fire, obv.

Blank Frank could have used someone like Helmet covering it in the mid-90s.

Or Quicksand

Voted On SOme Faraway Beach so it gets some action

More action, I guess. Could've been any of them

I'm not telling what my choice was but I bet every track here gets at least one vote.

This is the hardest one yet! I voted "Baby's On Fire" just over the title track but every song is great.

"Some of Them Are Old," for the slide guitar solo.

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

I'm surprised to see "Blank Frank" come in as low as it did, though I didn't vote for it myself.

Blank Frank was my second choice. a genius of pre- post punk song

surprises me that Some Of Them Are Old isn't up at like 5 or 6, but these are nicely varied.

I chose "On Some Faraway Beach".

question:

i have read conflicting accounts about who recorded the solo in "baby's on fire" and i would like to know whether it is fripp or manzanera?!

That is definitely Fripp.

Ok thank you very much!
I thought so, but for some reason I felt like I read in the book I just read (the Sheppard one) that there was a dispute? Is there a name for that style of guitar playing other than Fripp-like?

But is it pop?
