certainly the sprightliest song about Krishna in pop history

I love that line, even if it has zero basis in fact
"awaiting on you all" was my no. 1 for a long time, eventually demoted to no. 2, pretty sure no upcoming song is better than this one except for...

Those last two John songs are both amazing. Really love the whole 'there in the room' sound/feel of POB.

btw all of the versions of "walking on thin ice" on spotify are modern remixes, so it'll be missing from the playlist

sleeve image always makes me think of Shel Silverstein for some reason, just the way her face is growing out of his head
unsurprised this is the only track from mind games to place

that's cool, never seen the 45 pic sleeve

i also think this song is a tad long for how many actual ideas are in it, but it's a great hook

"Working Class Hero" my #1, easy choice
shoutout to the radio DJ who played this on the air after he died, I was listening
― sleeve, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:06 (six years ago) link
"handle with care" was one of the potential no. 1s in my head. i couldn't resist voting for it, it's such a good time
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
honestly surprised Mind Games placed so high. love it though
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
no love for Bring on the Lucie??
I voted for it
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:12 (six years ago) link
Mind Games is the only album from which I drew nothing. What a nattering, unfocused, dull album.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
"bring on the lucie" is ok

xp aw I like the title track, appropriately anthemic
― sleeve, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:15 (six years ago) link
i've got a bad memory associated with "mind games" so i didn't vote for it myself
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
ATMP the track is so gorgeous, was my #6
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:19 (six years ago) link
Mind Games is def unfocused and limp-sounding

voted for watching the wheels very highly, even tho i don't like the studio version.
the acoustic version, though...

what a long paulless stretch
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
"photograph" too low
yea the acoustic version of Watching the Wheels is one of John's highest points
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
acoustic version of Starting Over is ace, too

The different lyrics always put me off. Also, it’s missing the greatest double-tracked vocal of all time.― Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, June 5, 2018 2:39 PM (six minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
true, also that great descending piano riff
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link
idk after hearing the acoustic version, the studio version always sounds overdone to me.
i like the lyrics better in the acoustic version too
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:49 (six years ago) link
it's very thin sounding
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 5 June 2018 18:49 (six years ago) link
I feel like post-Voorman John's stuff is often lacking in the low end/bass dept.
