COUNTRY LIFE POLL

I'm sure someone else will happily be a combination of Doc Sportello and Jonathan Franzen, though.

Astounding to me that the Roxy camp tends to underrate this album out of the original five. Eno (diplomatically) likes "Stranded" best. Ferry likes "For Your Pleasure." "Siren" obviously had the big US hit. The first was important. But "Country Life" they never talk about, despite it being front to back awesome.

I know the title references the staid magazine, but I always thought there was some Shakespearian naughty wordplay going on there, same as Eno invoking "country joys" in "Seven Deadly Finns." "Oh, the French girls with their strings of pearls/Think it's such a burning shame /That the local boys with their country joys/Never make them daisy chains."

it really is "Out Of The Blue" but this whole album is so awesome.

Casanova too low.

YOU THE HERO

People would have to invent a thousand bands and multiple sub-genres just to deal with what was going on in any one song on this album. The whole second side is just.....yeesh. I probably love "A Really Good Time" and "Prairie Rose" as much as OOTB but OOTB's insane deep dub phasing Mahavishnu rock is some sorta landmark in invention.

I stand by my comments of 8 (geez, time flies) years ago.

Prairie Rose 4EVA

A Really Good Time is way too low

I can't believe 'Casanova' only got one vote... it's one of my favourite tracks on here!

Would have voted 'Out of the Blue', though.

Yes, "Casanova" is great, I remember almost voting for it, fat lot of good that did.
