01.22.19 | Wow, Waltz 1 at #100 is a fail of epic proportions. Top 10 looks great though. St Ides is probably my personal pick for best Elliott. |
Romulus
01.22.19 | hugs, klap
i don't even know where to start w this big fella but that top ten is stellar so i'm all on board
waltz #1 is a top ten for me tho! |
Zeneren
01.22.19 | Ah beautiful memories. Love the top 20. Remember when I tried this, and couldnt get past 30 songs... impossible to rank. Haven’t listened to the guy in years :( that needs to change.
Surprised Angel in the Snow is down low, that one is near the top for me. Happiness is definitely in my top 5, man that song’s amazing. |
Ev1lToaster
01.22.19 | My top 10 would look like:
1. St. Ides
2. Waltz #1
3. Last Call
4. Christian Brothers
5. King's Crossing
6. Happiness
7. Fond Farewell
8. Junk Bond Trader
9. Alphabet Town
10. Angeles

01.22.19 | Wow 100 songs I’ve never heard |
Romulus
01.22.19 | been so long but something like
11 bc i wanna include it - thirteen
10 - stupidity tries
9 - new disaster
8 - no name #1
7 - angeles
6 - happiness
5 - waltz #2
4 - waltz #1
3 - the biggest lie
2 - between the bars
1 - say yes
it's funny cause i wouldn't even want to listen to 'say yes'/a few others of these nowadays, it's so oversaturated with high school memz and the like, but i have to respect decades-ago romulus enough and stick it in the number one spot that it deserves |
klap
01.22.19 | Hell ya some good top tens here. Didn’t know Waltz #1 gets so much love. Even ranking these songs low is all relative all 10/10 imo |

01.22.19 | version of Stickman where the piano comes in halfway thru is one of the most powerful songs I've heard. remind me to post my Basement playlist here sometime, imo it's probably closer to what Elliott was gonna make than the released one (which is missing some essential songs) |
WatchItExplode
01.22.19 | List serves to remind what a truly gifted songwriter Elliot was.
Congrats on a decade klap. |
klap
01.22.19 | Rowan, agreed. Some of the tracks I have that were supposed to be on Basement are some of his best. That Stickman version in particular is one of my faves |
Rowan5215
01.23.19 | have a Basement tracklist! i based it off two work-in-progress things he posted before he died and what i thought was approximately how it would have turned out as a double album. got the extra tracks from Grand Mal
1. Shooting Star
2. Mr Goodmorning
3. Let's Get Lost
4. Suicide Machine
5. Don't Go Down (the acoustic version)
6. Brand New Game
7. O So Slow
8. A Fond Farewell
9. King's Crossing
10. Twilight
11. Coast to Coast
12. A Passing Feeling
13. Dancing on the Highway (the shorter version with acoustic guitar)
14. The Last Hour (I like the mix with a bunch of ambient shit and clattering drums)
15. Stickman (w/ piano)
16. True Love
17. Memory Lane
18. Little One
19. A Distorted Reality
20. See You in Heaven |

SmurkinGherkin
01.25.19 | epic list man
after all this time i still haven't listened to basement or new moon, shame on me |
Kiran
01.25.19 | love the list but lets bump between the bars up 9 or 10 spots rudolph baby |
klap
01.26.19 | too ~basic~ kiwan |
Conmaniac
01.28.19 | everything means nothing to me is the only song missing imo
s/o for Southern Belle that is an underappreciated one |
klap
01.28.19 | everything means nothing to me is at #56 bruh |
Conmaniac
01.28.19 | my bad idk how i missed that mustve mistaken it for everything reminds me of her or somethin |
klap
01.28.19 | Ya the album art here tends to blur together |
Pheromone
09.30.19 | No half right? |
StarlessCore
09.30.19 | 6 is the best song ever made |
DoofDoof
09.30.19 | Top 10:
1. Angeles
2. Between the Bars
3. Pitseleh
4. King’s Crossing
5. Waltz no. 1
6. Say Yes
7. Needle in the Hay
8. Memory Lane
9. Ballad of Big Nothing
10. Sweet Adeline |
Pheromone
09.30.19 | It's definitely top 5 Elliott - I'll probably make this list too one day when I have a day free. Truly the greatest of all time, in each melody - 'high on amphetamines...' chills |
Pheromone
09.30.19 | Doof, (albeit generic ;)) but great list. I think any combination of 10 Elliott songs would be justifiable. |
StarlessCore
09.30.19 | THE MOON IS A LLLLIGHTBULBB |
Rowan5215
10.01.19 | my usual coffee shop, which generally would never play anything less mainstream than Let It Be era Beatles, was spinning Waltz #2 when I went to pay yesterday. nearly cried into my coffee |
Sinternet
10.01.19 | 1 is 1 for sure
would've had between the bars, son of sam and needle in the hay top 10 though |
DoofDoof
10.01.19 | Are Memory Lane, Pitseleh and Ballad of Big Nothing generic picks?
I have no idea what are considered his obvious favourites beyond my picks for 1,2,6 and 7...but they're essential picks also |
Pheromone
10.01.19 | I was only messing, mine is probably quite similar. Pitseleh is definitely a regular pick, though I’ve never entirely felt the love for it like the rest of his classics. I do think Elliott is one artist who’s most known songs paint a good portrait of his best work. In terms of underrated, I think Clementine, Half Right, Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud would make my top 10. |
unclereich
10.01.19 | 44 is a killer track man, for some reason that one always stands out in his catalogue to me |
DoofDoof
10.01.19 | Phero - Clementine is a great one, Mama I'm not super fond of but it's decent
I'd say other 'deep cuts' picks for me would be: Alphabet Town, Going Nowhere and Punch & Judy, all three have very Elliott atmospheres, nostalgic for me |
klap
10.04.19 | half right doesn't do it for me, not sure why. between the bars and needle in the hay are obviously classics but never been my faves, although i think they're fairly high here
this as a surprisingly pleasant bump tho! |
Rowan5215
10.04.19 | ok I'm in a different cafe a few towns over and they're fucking playing Waltz #2 as well! fairly sure this is a conspiracy |
