pick just one song from each solo album
« on: December 01, 2023, 12:00:05 PM »
long time lurker, first time poster (so I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules posting this here!). we're obviously all big MK fans so I thought it would be interesting to see how similar or how different our tastes are within that.

the rules are simple: pick your favourite song from each MK solo album, and then rank the albums starting with your most favourite. simple, but maybe not easy... studio bonus tracks are allowed, but live bonus tracks are not.

discussion welcomed but please no hating on anyone for their choices, this is just meant to be a bit of light-hearted fun!

I'll start:
GH - Nobody's Got The Gun
STP - Silvertown Blues
TRD - Hill Farmer's Blues
SL - 5:15 am
KTGC - The Fizzy And The Still
GL - Border Reiver
P - Miss You Blues
T - Oklahoma Ponies
DTRW - Trapper Man

Albums: STP, SL, GL, P, TRD, T, DTRW, KTGC, GH

some of my earliest childhood memories are playing STP on repeat on my parents' CD player when I was about 3 years old so it's a very special album to me (:

It's quite difficult to choose just one song because I love so many more songs from each album.
As Robson mentioned, tomorrow could be different.
But let's try it for today.  ;)

GH – Are We In Trouble Now
STP – What It Is
RPD – Old Pigweed
SL – The Trawlerman's Song
KTGC – The Fish And The Bird
GL – Cleaning My Gun
P – Yon Two Crows
T – Lights Of Taormina
DTRW – Every Heart In The Room
This is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La.
