Excellent song off of one of the greatest albums of the 80's. Definitely the pinnicle of their career, though the follow-up Gold Afternoon Fix was pretty damn good too. But it's all downhill from there...
Wrong you are! Gold Afernoon Fix is well-known to be one of their weakest albums (if not the weakest), as it was an attempt at a commercially viable follow-up to Starfish ---- not the right path for the band. The next album, 1992's Priest = Aura, is without question their best work. Since then they have recorded a number of very good albums, including Magician Among the Spirits, Hologram of Baal, After Everything Now This. There are also several outstanding solo projects by Kilbey and Willson-Piper.
The Chuch is definitely a "cult band"... And it's a cult I'm damn proud to be a member of!
Lift Up Every Stone - John Hiatt

Hiatt's voice is an acquired taste... however, anyone who doesn't know he's one of the two or three greatest living American songwriters needs to get educated.

Beautifully bittersweet.
I'd say my boys from Athens are aging quite well. 
Deborah - Dave Edmunds

Starts out just like the Kinks' Victoria... which would also be very nice to hear!

with almost otherworldly intonation, this song takes the listener on a primitive, ethereal journey; expansive in its mythopoetic beauty and injected with pathos, it portrays an america struggling with the effects of manifest destiny on our cultural and individual consciousness.
Oh please...

These Days - Jackson Browne

you people are all miscreants... 
this is a beautiful sad song, done beautifully by the man who wrote it --- not to mention David Lindley's exquisite slide playing.

The Golden Palominos cover of this (featuring Michael Stipe) would be cool to hear too.

It's good, but unfortunately this song stands way out above the rest.

Show Me the River - Eastmountainsouth

A bittersweet masterpiece. Of course, the teen-angst factor is missing for some.
