No top ten of Joni's songs would be complete without "Don Juan's
Reckless Daughter", "Off Night Backstreet" and "Judgment of the Moon and
Stars", and "Lesson in Survival/Let the Wind Carry Me" (can't listen to
one without the other, IMO). These would be in my top 10, along with a
few of the faves that are in the top 10 on the website, as well as
"Nothing Can be Done" "Don't Interupt the Sorrow" and "How Do You Stop".
You know, it's funny -- everyone here thinks the sun rises and sets
around Hejira (the album), but I have to tell ya -- I listen to DJRD and
HOSL waaaay more, and they mean more to me than Hejira (but of course, I
still think it is a masterpiece). However, it has taken me years, but
OMG, FTR rocks my world now --- I have been listening to it constantly
the past few months. Damn I wish I had the opportunity to have heard
these works of genius as they were released -- what an exciting time it
must have been.
