That Tennessee Rain dried all up.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Love Kills. It's actually a great single - production aside - but I prefer Dum Dum Club and the other two songs are just even better. But, man, I can only imagine if you were around at this time, thinking Joe was about to explode with a killer solo career.

Yeah, the Walker songs are all better than what is left.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Oh come on. The Unkown Immortal is the best song left by a damn sight and you chuds are going to eliminate it?

More insanity from the board. I have a massive soft spot for Evil Darling but there should only be one winner here and it's on its way out.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

All of these are good. UI is IMMENSE. I voted Evil Darling to go.

EDIT: Unknown Immortal might be my very favorite non-Mescalero Joe solo track.

It may be my favourite Joe song outside of the Clash. I've sat here for two minutes thinking, and I can't recall a better one.

It’s definitely top 3-4 for me. Maybe even higher. Honestly, the top 5 or so are so close together it might as well be a tie.

This heat has been a real surprise. We did a Meskies vote in a different format a few years back and Burning Lights, Immortal, and Tennessee Rain were all top 5. And Evil Darling didn't even get a single vote!

Here's the tally for anyone interested: https://clashcity.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10716
