Wow so cool Townes Van Zandt topped this poll; I have been playing the shit out of that album recently.

'Waiting Around to Die' and 'Sixteen Summers, Fifteen Falls' get me every time.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the ones that followed it were even better imo

 

[challenge_everything]

I know that's the common view but I really have a soft spot for this one

After 6½ years, I'd move Janis Ian down one spot in my list. That's it. I swear I've evolved substantially as a person in that time. It's just that my heart stays true or something.
