Stephan, excellent work as always. A bit disappointed that neither of Elvis Costello's albums managed to make the top ten, but oh well.

A question: "Dear God" by XTC received 39 points on the song poll. However, it's listed as a 1987 song on AM, which I think is accurate - I know it wasn't added to SKYLARKING until after the album's initial release. I'm pretty sure more people would have voted for it were it not for that, but I just wanted to clarify whether it's eligible for the '87 poll.

Agree with you Harold about the disappointing about Costello. I like a lot “King of America”, in fact I wrote a review in this forum about it some years ago.
But I had to disagree about the release date of “Dear God”. I didn’t realize that it was listed in AM as 1987, and you’re right about that the first release of “Skylarking” didn’t include it. The first release of “Dear God” was as the B-side of “Grass” single in August of 1986. But the success of the B-side (especially in USA!) forced the release of “Dear God” as an A-side single and the inclusion in successive releases of the album.
Anyway I’m delighted of having the opportunity to vote again for this song. I was quite disappointed about the lack of votes in 1986 but it’s nice to have a second chance in 1987. For me it’s the best song about atheism ever (and don’t want to offend nobody). Please see the (amazing) video:

I'll second what you said Honorio. "Dear God" was in my top five until I realized it was listed as a 1987 song.

P.S. I know he doesn't mean a big reduction in the price of beer, but that would be a pretty good start.

First, Paul Simon easily takes second place, but "The Indestructible Beat of Soweto" only gets ONE vote! Go to the source, people, Hey Zeus!

Second, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I did notice a couple of mistakes in the albums poll. Nothing major, however. I voted for "King of America," but I didn't give it enough points to move up. And "Master of Puppets" is listed twice, getting 35 points from Eddo under "Masters of Puppets." The additional points would move Metallica past Prince into fifth place.

Hey Stephan, i just noticed that my album vote for Metallica - Master of Puppets was recorded as Masters of Puppets and therefore as a seperate album entry. It still made the top 10 but would have been one place higher on the list.

I like Spirit Of Eden but I'm not too big on Laughing Stock. Should I get Colour Of Spring?

COLOUR OF SPRING is kind of a transitional album between TT's more accessible earlier material and the ambient/experimental direction that came to the fore on SPIRIT. You'd probably like it.

(Speaking as someone who doesn't really listen to any of the three that often...)

BillAdama, I'm with you on "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock" and I had "The Colour of Spring" as my #5 of 1986. Get it!
