Mine would be similar:
1)#4 RECORD
2)HOURLY, DAILY (It pains me a little to read Miles ranking it head and
shoulders over the rest of the catalog, since I've always liked H,D but not
as much as #4. Guess I'm going to have to try again.)
3)DRESS MEW SLOWLY (by a hair over HI FI, and largely on the strength of
the extra TEMPERANCE UNION disc, which is a sort of successor to Tim Rogers
excellent solo record)
4)HI FI WAY
5)SOUND AS EVER(Yeah, not bad but they haven't really found their sound yet)
>I have not heard "Deliverance".
I haven't heard it enough to rank it with the above, but OTOH, the record
hasn't compelled repeat listens for me. The drift into too-long meandry
that began on DRESS ME gets a lot more pronounced on DELIVERANCE. Three
tracks over 5 minutes is not a good sign.
>If I had to pick a favorite song it would be: "Please don't ask me to
>smile" from "Hourly, Daily"
"What I Don't Know About You," from #4 Record.
right now, off the top of my head,
