I took this album with my first pick in the decade (2010-2020) draft - and I've only fallen in love with even it more since then. Isbell is an amazing songwriter and performer, and this record was his masterpiece.

ETA: This was the album I was talking about that's labeled "alt-country", but it's really just a country album.

Darkness on the Edge of Town is the fourth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on June 2, 1978, through Columbia Records. The album was recorded after a series of legal disputes between Springsteen and his former manager Mike Appel, during sessions in New York City with the E Street Band from June 1977 to March 1978. Springsteen and Jon Landau served as producers, with assistance from bandmate Steven Van Zandt.

Is this where we talk about how much we don't like the Boss's music? The album may have 6 votes, but I don't see much conviction in the voters eyes. This is like voting on who's playing in the Citrus Bowl.

Well, all 6 of us have it ranked as one our 65 favorite albums of all time. I'd say that's some conviction.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Darkness on the Edge of Town boys-

What is your song choice?

I will ultimately defer to those who had this higher ranked than I did, but I would go with “Racing in the Street”.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

[krista4]

My strategy, if it could even be termed that, was to look at my various "favorite song" playlists and expound from there. That was stupid as it didn't take into account "albums" so much as songs. Despite that, I did end up with one very obvious jazz record on my list, but I should have had this Coltrane as well as the earlier Cannonball Adderley selection. My vastly imperfect system might have been an unknowing attempt to cull down the possibilities.

They alone have not put any albums into the Top 350 (with only votes from two of them) - the Rannous block has done it 5 times already - but Castros have matched up a number of times.

I was thinking this album would be on more than two lists. Oh well, it got enough points to make the cut so

For decades John Prine's debut album has been in my regular rotation. It is a beauty of a country folk album. John Prine was full of wisdom, and he wrote songs that will make you laugh, cry, and think. I love his writing style. This album is full of fabulous songs such as Angel from Montgomery, Hello in There, Far From Me, Sam Stone, Spanish Pipedream, Paradise, Illegal Smile, Donald and Lydia, Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore, Pretty Good, etc. Song after song that is so good. I'll see what my JP partner, landrys hat, wants to do as far as putting a song on the playlist. The sad songs are my very favorites, but for the playlist maybe the playful Spanish Pipedream. What do you think @landrys hat?

She was a level-headed dancer
On the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well, she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she give me a peck
On the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke...
