Very disappointing!

Isn't most of Yellowstone in Wyoming?

 Most of the Yellowstone National Park is in Wyoming but the show is set on a fictional cattle ranch called Yellowstone in Montana. ( No Dental Floss Yet. Cry )

Wouldn't do a lot of harm to dump More Fool Me, but it does add a light romantic touch to an otherwise musically complex and artistically ambitious album.

For me, that's the one song that won't let me enjoy Selling England as a Masterpiece it otherwise is (yah, I can even stand More Fool Me, even if I don't quiet like it).


I sort of feel the same way but Selling England is still 42 minutes without the Battle of Epping Forest, so enough of a masterpiece


Nice, while we are at it, we might also remove More Fool Me too, then.

In the end, I voted for Cat Food, but I don't know several songs on the list. Agree Elephant Talk would have been a good choice for KC. And for Procol Harum, I find Rambling On (from Shine on Brightly), about a man who sees a Batman movie and decides to fly, more funny than Mabel.

My Mistake is one of Split Enz's funniest; especially the video. Cracks me up every time!




I would vote for Split Enz's My Mistake if it was there. I ridiculously danced to that video a few new years eves ago.

Suit Fugue (Kevin Gilbert) is not only funny, it's a fantastic piece. It's an actual proper fugue (as far as I can hear, I haven't analyzed it in detail), it's excellent counterpoint, and it has a fantastic commentary on the music industry. The Shaming of the True is also an insanely underrated album, in the prog world and the music world in general—Kevin Gilbert was honestly unbelievably talented, his death was a huge loss of musical potential. Easy vote from me.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Hi,

I was thinking that The Hamburger Concerto is funnier ... when the cook is singing and dancing while flipping burgers.

It's either your mistake or my mistake then! My mistake is very funny, but then the poll question is directed at Mental Notes which is the last song on the debut album in which the band sings the title song backwards. I don't particularly find the song funny, but maybe others do. However it's possible the person who constructed this poll made the mistake of including Mental Notes as the Split Enz song contribution when he actually meant to include My Mistake.

Because I’ve never played vinyl. I grew up on cassettes, and then CDs. I’ve never owned a record, but I still understand the concept of a runout groove.
 
Ahhh... where did you get the term "runout groove" from? Sounds like jargon to me, suggesting knowledge other people might not have. Anyway, it is probably futile to continue this "What Is It Like To Be A Bat" type debate.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

That is kind of obvious, and I doubt anyone listening to it could not recognise it was written specifically for vinyl. But while I do think it is not the worst thing the Enz has every written, nor would I call it brilliant. But in terms of tracks that have this gimmick (for lack of a better word), I would rather go for Bowie’s “Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family”, bro (bro…bro…bro…)
