I added some more of the playlists to the spreadsheet that weren't previously there.

I made an "American version" of the April Wine playlist that doesn't have any songs missing and added it to the spreadsheet. I had to use a live version of Anything You Want, You Got It, but otherwise it's all there as @falguy intended.

Don't feel bad, Binky would be at 88 songs.

I wouldn't raise my hand and tattle. I see nothing wrong with this, so you have at least one supporter in the peanut gallery.

I think we've got time for a little background and an adjacency.
First the background (from Wiki):
Regarding the adjacency (none of which will be included in my 31 - 1 listing), also from Wiki:
I completely missed this. I saw this film. I don't remember a cotdarn thing about it other than I thought it was well done and cool.

You aren't the only one. I have three artists that I would need to split that way.
Make that four.

Forgot to post last week after I discovered The The released a new album recently, Ensoulment. Does not miss a beat. Listening to the opening track, Cognitive Dissident (love this expression) feels like stepping into a time machine and turning the dial back 30 years.

I just bought a ticket to his show in SLC next month. He's playing the new album straight through and then a 2nd set of past songs.

The punchline is that she makes her ex pay the driver!"Nickey, keep the change."The more I think about this, the more I would not be surprised if this was directly inspired by Chapin's "Taxi". There's even a reference to a cab in the final verse.Is It Really You?
Album: Mothers Pride (1973)
Writer: Nickey Barclay
Lead vocals: Jean Millington and Nickey Barclay
One of the few Fanny studio tracks that lasts more than 5 minutes, Is It Really You? comes from a genre that the band didn't otherwise try -- the melodramatic, multi-part, story-focused, exquisitely arranged pop operettas that we got from the likes of Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Harry Chapin. There's even a sax solo at the end, as tended to happen with these things. The song tells the story of a female musician -- perhaps Nickey Barclay herself -- who abandons her hometown to pursue her dreams out West and runs into her high school sweetheart many years later.

I listened to this tonight and one of the first things the Spotify algorithm gave me afterward was ... Triumph.I made an "American version" of the April Wine playlist that doesn't have any songs missing and added it to the spreadsheet.

@zamboni I just got around to your list. I just wanted to comment from one Beach Boys fan to another.
Simply put, I loved it, man. My knowledge about the Beach Boys' catalog comes almost entirely from the '62-'67 era, so the later songs (including the SMiLE Sessions songs that got fleshed out later) were welcome additions to me because I haven't even ever sat and listened to them totally attentively (which is why I wouldn't have volunteered to do this immediately upon MADs inception). So this is an awesome job, IMO.
I had one album rated as my favorite for the current album countdown, but that changes every day and it would be impossible to read too much into the choice. You have one song from it, which isn't a knock on you (nor I think on me) at all—it just is what it is. I chose it because it's their turn from a surf/car band into a band that was more introspective lyrically and adventurous musically.
Your inspired choices of "Don't Worry, Baby" and "In My Room" might have totally escaped me if I were doing the list, and that would have been a shame. They are such beautiful (and in one case aching) love songs that are sung and are longing for a particular kind of peace and emotional state you get the feeling Brian Wilson was chasing for most of his life (which is a personal tragedy that is saddening). But you hit upon the Beach Boys' true essence in choosing them, and your choice of those songs really is inspired. Great job including them, brother.
And that's really it. I'm listening to your list as we speak. I'd do my top thirty-one, but it wouldn't be complete without a full knowledge of the entire catalog, and it's sort of jerky to usurp someone's thoughtfully done list. But if I may, I would recommend one song that is one of the few that has left me in this weird pose I get every so often. It's when I get to listening to music alone in my car, and there's this sort of pose that I get when I'm totally moved now that I think about myself in retrospect. (Sorry for that.) Anyway, I'll sit there in the driver seat with my left leg out of the driver's side, on the ground—while the right leg is in the car, bracing myself on both ground and machine while I listen to the music. It's generally when I have to be somewhere but am almost emotionally stuck by the music. In this case, it's this track that did it for me. I hope you enjoy!

Many thanks for the insightful and thoughtful comments, GB. I'm glad you liked the list and appreciate the feedback from a very knowledgeable music guy like yourself. It was a labor of love and I definitely took a lot of thought in trying to cover as many bases as possible. There are definitely songs I had to omit in a small gathering of 31 songs. If I had to do it again today, it might look slightly different, but that's what happens for a band with such an expansive catalog. I hadn't thought of "Our Prayer" that you listed above, but what gorgeous harmonies - something any high school choir could only dream about.@zamboni I just got around to your list. I just wanted to comment from one Beach Boys fan to another.

You're welcome. Thanks again for the list. I was saying in one of the threads here that I recently got the SMiLE Sessions two-LP set (not the big one as I don't think that one is anywhere but used right now) on vinyl and it's been a welcome return to some of the songs I loved from the Good Vibrations box set I once had by them. "Our Prayer" was one of those songs. The other track I wasn't that familiar with that grabbed me was "Do You Like Worms (Roll Plymouth Rock)," which I think would have been a sneaky hit if released in '67 (things were just weird enough then). Anyway, I've been really just listening and enjoying this past week.
But yeah, the list is excellent, GB.
