[Closed] B1974 3BA: ..Bright Lights Tonight v. On the Beach

Listmeister · 2014-09-10T16:22:06-04:00

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight by Richard & Linda Thompson In the first round, it beat out Libertango. Responders indicated that they liked Libertango, but felt compelled to vote for the Thompson's I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight. In the second round, despite going up against BEA favorite Brian Eno (Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)), it prevailed by a comfortable margin, and a few commented that it was the best of the tournament. We will see if it can beat the BEA #2 for 1974 On The Beach by Neil Young It's opponent in the first round, Curtis Mayfields's Sweet Exorcist got more individual votes than any other, um, non-winner in the first round. On the Beach was the album that knocked it out. Then it went on to crush Shuggie Otis's Inspiration Information 13-3.

Both are fabulous. Perhaps this should be the final or semifinal in my mind. Well, I voted for The Thompsons again.

Beach. I adore Neil.

Always love ya Neil YOung but On the Beach is nowhere near enough of a personal favorite to get the edge over the Bright Lights. Thompsons 4eva (noting the cruel irony of that statement)

I love Neil Young, I do, but I would be pretty disappointed to see On the Beach win this tournament. Too... vanilla. All of my decisions in this group were easy, and this one goes to the Thompsons.

Bright Lights is a special album, but On the Beach is an overlooked Neil Young gem.
