Re: Rank the Big Whiskey Songs
You know I've been listening to the disk for the first time in a while and I really dig it. Definitely an album for the warm sunny weather. Here is my current ranking.
1. Shake Me Like A Monkey (funky tune, reminds me a lot of Too Much)
2. Funny The Way It Is (classic DMB sounding song)
3. You and Me (yep, it's way up there for me, crazy catchy, love the lyrics)
4. Spaceman (live version is better, but it's such a fun song to listen to)
5. Why I Am (another classic DMB song, with we could hear more of Boyd)
6. Alligator Pie (classic DMB jam song, finally Boyd has his moment to shine)
7. Seven (this has moved up a lot for me, was last for a while, but if you really listen closely, it's layered beautifully)
8. Squirm (i think it's a great song, but i never seem to be in the mood for it)
9. Dive In (again, live version is better, kind of crave a violin solo instead)
10. Time Bomb (a lot of potential, but album version falls a bit short)
11. Lying in the Hands of God (still can't get into this song)
12. Baby Blue (blah)
I still really love Beach Ball. It would be right up there in the top 3 if it was on the album. Write a Song would be somewhere in the middle.
