The Cure – Kyoto Song: 7
A classic The Cure sound; basically some sort of mysterious version of post-punk. Nice atmosphere.

Andy Stott - Execution: 7
I know Andy Stott has some fans on this site, but this might actually be the first thing I hear of him. A rather curious sound; like a dance track mixed with some strange grain. Interesting.

Les McCann Trio - Compared to What 7 I always get confused between this version and the one by Mr. Flood's Party but I realise it's the latter I prefer for its passionate punchiness, thus earning it an honorary 8.5

Bachelor Number One - I am the Summertime 3
Lana Del Rey - Off to the Races 4
Marty Robbins - Tennessee Toddy 7
The Cure - Kyoto Song 8
Andy Stott - Execution 8

834. Les McCann & Eddie Harris – Compared to What - 5
835. Bachelor Number One – I am the Summertime - 4
836. Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races - 7
837. Marty Robbins – Tennessee Toddy - 4
838. The Cure – Kyoto Song - 7 (Pretty good, but Smith & Co have done much better)
839. Andy Stott - Execution - 7 (Love the atmosphere of this track, but I think you have to be in the right mood for it)
840. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Cannibal’s Hymn - 8 (very good song, it does remind me of another song by Nick Cave (Stagger Lee ?). This album has been undeservedly ignored by me.

Nick Cave in what might have been my favorite period of his. No complaints from me.

Luckily for Kris that Sammi Smith made this song a slow ballad and it became an all time country classic that sent him lots of royalty checks.

Sammi Smith's version is fine, but the warm and natural voice of Kristofferson just go so well with this song. The album it came from is a big gem, with multiple songs that are more famous thanks to other people but he does greatly himself. See also Me and Bobby McGee and Sunday Morning Coming Down.

I don't think so and neither did Dave C. It doesn't work in the midtempo style IMO. There's a reason why his songs were all so much more popular when other people sang them rather than when Kris sang them. Great songwriter, just a fair singer.

CSN&Y - Almost Cut My Hair 7

Probably one of my favourite moments from CSNY. I like it as it is a break from their soft/mellow sound. They should have done more tracks like this.

Gang Starr - Just to Get a Rep - 8

The scratching on this track is amazing!
