Another more straight-forward track on London Calling leaves us. This one is almost New Wave-ish. I quite like it!

“Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” / “Right On” / “Wholy Holy” /
“Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)”

"Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky)" is another track that has almost no focus on rhythm! I definitely love this song more than "Wholy Holy" because it has some amazing percussion and Marvin's vocals are all together way better.

I quite like Death or Glory, but I understand it's placement.
Pet Sounds is the best album in the rate, but it doesn't have the peaks that some of the others do, imo, so I get that it might not have a lot in the top ten, but it should have more songs left in the rate. I'm STILL pressed over I Just Wasn't Made For These Times being eliminated so early.

I guess I'll never understand the love for IJWMFTT.  It was easily my least favorite on the album. I think the best are Marvin and Miles

Damn The Beach Boys + The Clash are getting OUT! I like Marvin's album a lot but I feel like he still has some less-stellar tracks that can leave before these two bands get more removals.

I may have forgotten to post this in the tracklist section for The Clash posts.  It's a good song though and has grown on me a lot since I first listened to it. It's a lot less heavy on the reggae influences than a lot of the album, but it's still a great straightforward punk track.

It's like the only non-amazing song on the whole album. 
That's what I call a greatest of all time.

They all need to go 'cept for the GOAT pop entertainer and the GOAT soul singer.

Flyin High is my favorite song on the album, I love the lyrics. I dont really care for the remaining Marvin songs that much, they can go.
The Clash or Miles FTW

All my 10's from Pet Sounds are gone now...
"Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky)" deserved better, but I think it was too much mood, not enough action for voters.
