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.

They're at #21 and #22 on my '74 chart... love them both. I'll agree with my chart and give a very slight edge to the Thompson couple.

These are getting really difficult to handle.

On the Beach by a fairly comfortable margin despite loving Bright Lights Tonight. Just one of my all time faves.

On the Beach

(Also I was typing "beach" and my phone autocorrect suggested "BEA")

Both are in my top 20 albums of all time...

Edge to Richard and Linda though, only just.
