"Fire Island" is to me the most beguiling tune they ever done…"all Kinds of time" is also remarkable…I think Collingwood and Schlesinger don't get along any more…

man, one of the all-time "first 2/3rds perfect, final third forgettable" albums right here
dunno how to choose between Mexican Wine, Stacy, Hackensack, Valley Winter Song and Hey Julie

Stacy's Mom is an absolutely killer pop song. ppl who don't like it are on the wrong side of history.

I dint even remember several of these (lil red light?), but fuck, so so solid. Still thinking valley winter song for dumbass sentimental foolish-feeling reasons.

damn, Hey Julie vs Mexican Wine vs Hackensack vs Valley Winter Song for me. I wanna listen to this now.
I think eephus convinced me to vote Mexican Wine. The key change and background vocals on the final verse seal the deal

Hey, my pick won! A few more voters and Little Red Light would’ve picked up a vote probably. Maybe none of the rest.

Main takeaway for me was that Supercolider is pretty cool. The rest of the album still rules...

Yeah, and it got no votes.
For a long time, this was supercollider for me, but these days it's all Hackensack.
I also love the lyrical concept for Hailey's Waitress, even if it's not one of the best songs on the album.
