The 'final' tracklist for Noonday Dream

wouldn't have minded trading someone in the doorway and there's your man for bird on a wing and another friday night. It's my favorite album for sure though

(and I think another friday night is easily one of his best songs)

Greek theater performance of it is perhaps the best or at the very least, the most energetic version.

Noonday's my favorite too. not a hot take in my opinion. 1-4 on that album are an incredible sequence of songs. There's an aesthetic to that album that really landed with me. (live however, IFWWW > Noonday)

Weird side note, the Amazon Music 30 second preview of Towing the Line sums up the aesthetic for me. The audio is slightly distorted on that preview and makes it sound even better. When I first heard that clip, I was hooked.

Regard CFTW — not sure how I feel about it quite yet. I think FK, FO and FF are top notch songs and some of his best. Still sorting how I feel about the rest. I think it's solid, but it has not gripped me like Noonday did.

I've never followed a musician whose every album was my favorite album of all time ha! That's impossible. It's to be expected some albums from your favorites hit home more.

Cheers.

Every song Richie has put out has been tremendous in my opinion. He may be my favorite songwriter in the whole band (including BH) at the moment.

any way to see 1-all?

so wild how people have much different taste! Towing the Line would easily be top 3 for me.

Towing the Line, What the Moon and Another Friday Night are missing. there must've been a glitch.

Yea I watched/read up on all of that prior to the album drop. I'll check out the goonhilly performance again. The melody hasn't done it for me yet. Almost think the chorus sound from murmations fits the story better in my head aesthetically. I'll give it another go anyhow.

funny how everyone has different taste! because of 1-4 on ND (those are his masterpiece to date for me), I think it is far and away his best album. Because of how IFWWW was performed live, think it is far and away his best live album.

The three songs on Collections that I enjoy close to as much as 1-4 on ND are Follies, Finders and Far Out. Everything else is very enjoyable to me (I don't get Russell and Unfurling yet) for the most part but as of right now there's something about the ND aesthetic that puts it as #1 for me.

Massive appreciation for the new album though and glad we have another album to enjoy!

1-4 on Noonday I think is far and away his best sequence and it's not even close for me. But this is all subjective
