Jacksonville City Nights vs. Every Other RA album

[BH]

OK, I don't have them all, but I do have quite a few now, and they are all great, don't get me wrong.  But none of them compare to Jacksonville City Nights.  Top to bottom, just spectacular.

If you don't agree, please tell me which one you think is better and why?
If you do agree, give me a "hells yeah"  

(Yes, I'm a tad bit bored today.)

SCORE
Jacksonville City Nights      1
The Rest of R.A. Catalog    0

Well, I can't really cast a vote here, but if JCN is as good as you say it is, I'll have to pick it up. I have Heartbreaker and Cold Roses, and they both fall under the "pretty damn good, but not great" category. Ryan Adams has some GREAT songs, but neither of those two albums really blow me away as a whole.

(Back to the voting...)

wow, i don't have them all, so my vote could change with time. i'd say my favorite disc would be cold roses disc 2, because of the Dead like sound to it, but as a whole its not better than JCN.

so my vote: hells yeah Jacksonville City Nights!!

[ManNamedTruth]

My favorite that i have is Cold Roses.

[BH]

Well I guess so far we have a low scoring "fuut"ball match going....

Cold Roses is good, but not good enough.   There is something slightly wrong with the production on Cold Roses (IMO)  Again, don't get me wrong, great album.

[Penny Lane]

i know they're his most popular but GOLD and HEARTBREAKER are classic albums--that said, JCN is probably a 3rd favorite.

[Coltrane]

agreed. Heartbreaker and Gold are pobably one and two respectively. With Cold Roses and JCN right behind.......and Easy Tiger, which i just picked up, right behind them.



Heartbreaker is essential, in my opinion. "Come Pick Me Up" and "Oh My Sweet Carolina" are as perfect as perfect gets....



baba-booey.

[BH]

Ouch, two quick strikes against!  

Actually Heartbreaker is one of the few I don't have so there ya go.  I'm learning here.  I must purchase this supposed challenger and see what she's got!  Bring it!

I grew very close to Heartbreaker and still think it's one of the most awesome collection of songs ever by anyone.

But Jacksonville City Nights hit me at a time in my life where it spoke to me on every level.  It didn't come out of my CD player for about 4 months.  Simply amazing.  

I vote for JCN.

[corey]

Hmmm... off the top of my head, I would say that "Easy Tiger" is better, but it's been a while since I've listened to JCN from top to bottom... so I'll have to give it a listen again before I cast my vote.

On another note, I listened to my copy of "Cold Roses" on vinyl this weekend and it was a much better album than I remembered it being.

[aMD]

I'd put Easy Tiger and Cold Roses in front of Jacksonville City Nights.

[BH]

Ohhh, I thought I might get a vote from Dylan.  However, a nice shot from Triple G!  Corey, you can tie it back up later tonight.  Listen good my friend.  Listen good. ;)

Cold Roses and Love is Hell I'd rank above Gold...Cold Roses is my favorite album. Sweet Illusions alone makes it great. Heartbreaker is excellent, too.

As of right now...this minute...(cold roses never changes though)

Cold Roses is a darn good Grateful Dead record, but Jacksonville City Nights is all Ryan, and it's a minor masterpiece.

[primushead]

I'd put Easy Tiger and Cold Roses in front of Jacksonville City Nights.

You boggle my mind sometimes aMD :o

No WAY I put Easy Tiger in front of JCN...I put Easy Tiger in front of Gold, though, so I guess an argument could be made for both.

WHAT?! Listen again, my friend. Two, I taught myself how to grow old, goodnight rose, oh my god whatever etc, etc, etc.  That record is amazing!  I have been revisiting Jacksonville City Nights a lot recently and it's a great record.  Number three on a list of RA records is pretty good.

[kyjed48]

I'd put Easy Tiger and Cold Roses in front of Jacksonville City Nights.

I agree with you completely.  Not to diminish JCN at all, I just prefer Easy Tiger and Cold Roses myself.
