favorite songs on sundown

[Barry Shanley]

Greetings all you lovely ladies and gents! Ready for round #2? Well...just bear with me for a bit and list your favorite songs on Sundown in order. Later, a ranking in popularity will be shown.

Here is some wisdom: You may see how albums differ from each other. Some lists may be more top heavy (a few songs ranked way above the rest), some, all ranked closer, etc. Should be fun! Come on! Go My Way! ...has this already been done?

1. 7 Island Suite (this one's epic!)
2. The Watchman's Gone (unbelievably underrated)
3. Too Late For Prayin' (a heartfelt prayer)
4. Is There Anyone Home? (I love this one!)
5. High & Dry
6. Circle of Steel
7. Sundown (over-played for me)
8. The List
9. Carefree Highway (ditto)
10. Somewhere U.S.A.

marc in maine,

Thanks for staying up to date with this thread...
I may as well vote,

1) 7 island suite
2) The watchman's gone
3) High and dry
4) Circle of steel
5) Too late for prayin'
6) Somewhere U.S.A.
7) Is there anyone home
8) Sundown
9) Carefree highway
10) The list

What a great album. I suppose Sundown and Carefree Highway have just settled due to overexposure. I certainly didn't feel this way upon first listening.

Just wanted to chime in on this old topic I missed.

1. Seven Island Suite
2. Too Late For Prayin'
3. Somewhere U.S.A.
4. Carefree Highway
5. Is There Anyone Home
6. The Watchman's Gone
7. Circle of Steel
8. High and Dry
9. Sundown
10. The List

It's almost impossible to rank these songs! Songs 3-9 on my list are just about even. It looks like I like "Somewhere U.S.A." a little better than most people; I just like the laid-back quality to it. It also appears that I don't like "Watchman" as much as most do; I find it a little repetitive, but it's still a very good song. I've never been a huge fan of the title song.

With a few exceptions I see my opinion on The Watchman's Gone is shared by loads. This album is tough to do a 1 - 10 on in that it's darn near perfect, but I'll have a go anyway -

1. The Watchman's Gone
2. Sundown
3. Carefree Highway
4. Circle of Steel
5. Seven Island Suite
6. Too Late For Prayin'
7. Somewhere U.S.A.
8. Is There Anyone Home
9. High and Dry
10. The List

To me the list (as opposed to The List) doesn't begin to peter out in the least until you hit #8 and even then these are fine, well done songs. With the combination of really strong songs combined with about as perfect arrangement and production this album is about as good as it gets.
