Let Dr. Strange do it.Agreed - I spelled it without the apostrophe above. The goon that posted the clip needs to be taken out behind the woodshed.It's just Bleeker Street. There's no possessive here.Scary bit of irony here in the first three lines as New York City is currently covered in smoke from the Canadian wildfires:
Simon & Garfunkel zamboni "Bleecker Street"

Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
Fills the alleys where men sleep

Well, and there’s a “c” in it. Bleecker.
I’d never heard of Doves before the British countdown and liked Shuke’s pick Catch the Sun so much that I picked it in the alphabet draft. Today’s pick was very atmospheric, like an ‘00s iteration of a Pink Floyd or Alan Parsons Project instrumental.New-to-me groups I look forward to digging into more - Sigur Ros, Doves, Big Thief
Great start to this!
Doves were selected a few times in the UK dummies countdown (including by me), and I was surprised at how many people didn’t know their stuff and ended up liking it. I’m glad someone selected them here!
Just got home from Memphis and Ryan Adams and the Cardinals concert last night was great! Magnolia Mountain was on the set list and is personally one of my favorite. I like his solo stuff better, but nice start to what I'm sure will be a great list31
Song: Magnolia Mountain
Album: Cold Roses
Artist: Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
Released: 2005
“It’s been raining that Tennesee honey so long I got too heavy to fly.”
A sad but beautiful song where Ryan stays true to his alt-country roots.
I usually hate Daft Punk but this track was pretty good
Krista = not upset.Those of you upset about the lack of horns in the Chicago song today (I loved it even without them) can get your fix with tomorrow’s Sigur Ros selection.
I think she loves horns, but a sax used in a certain way can turn her off.Krista = not upset.Those of you upset about the lack of horns in the Chicago song today (I loved it even without them) can get your fix with tomorrow’s Sigur Ros selection.
Off the top of my head, four songs in my top 31 (including today's) have no horns.

This was new to me - I liked it a lot.#31
Talking to Mary- Elliott Smith
It's no problem, I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you
To make believe in then that I don't love you as much as I do
that line gets me everytime. the whole song paints a really vivid story and really gets you to buy in emotionally. the melody isn't exactly flashy or anything, but this song is a definite grabber.
This song almost didn't make the list... in fact, I had a song called "Half-Right" at 31 until the last minute. I listened to Talking to Mary again and I am now wondering why I didn't rank it much higher. I suspect I will be doing that a lot.
I'm going to dive in to everyone's songs tonight and try to do a little write up on my favorites.
Hope you're into Springsteen covers.Unexpected covers -- Black Francis doing a Flying Burrito Brothers song?![]()
Frank Black is Black Francis.25. Wheels - I had no idea Black Francis was the name of the lead singer from the Pixies. This is good.

reminds me of a late night wasted lounge singer16. Alcohol - I love this album. One of my favorite things about this tune is the instruments in it. This song reminds me of a scene in a play.
Honestly, Frank Black's solo work hits me a lot harder than his contributions to the Pixies.Frank Black is Black Francis.25. Wheels - I had no idea Black Francis was the name of the lead singer from the Pixies. This is good.![]()
I am not going to do any big write up. but these are the 4 queen songs that just missed my list:

This progression yesterday was crazy - from today's NY Times:btw ... here are today's view from Exchange Place in Jersey City - the (in)famous Kàtyn Memorial - can actually see the skyline (Freedom Tower to the right) now ... and those are clouds clearly visible, not smoke - 75% better than yestetday.
moar train action now - happy (t)rails ...
Heading south to Virginia and the Carolinas tomorrow - be safe if you live down there.In South Jersey air quality has gone from "off the charts" to merely "unhealthy".
DC area is pretty bad today; lot of smoke in the air — I wore a mask while walking my son to school this morning. But does not look as bad as some of the pictures that I saw from NYC.Heading south to Virginia and the Carolinas tomorrow - be safe if you live down there.In South Jersey air quality has gone from "off the charts" to merely "unhealthy".
When I have some free time I will do this. I can only post from my phone until I get off work.Can I suggest that the playlists be posted in the OP, and just overwrite it with whatever is the latest? I find myself constantly trying to find the post that has the song listing.

Double Agent by Rush is a great choice @higgins. Really glad to see this kick off with a song a bit outside the mainstream. As a huge Counterparts fan, I find Double Agent to be a tune with a driving force, great guitar work, and for those turned off by Geddy Lee's sometime shrieking approach, he certainly dials it back on this one in that regard.
