I also voted for GP. I think Grievous Angel has a few better songs, but GP is better overall. Sweetheart and Burrito's 1st could get my vote any day too.

I am interested in music that side of the pond
Just not the ersatz wank that Parsons made.
I hate him.

All varying shades of wonderful.

I am with The Slider on this. I don'te hate Parsons, I suppose, as he doesn't really impinge on my consciousness all that much, but I do think his music is corny, hackneyed bobbins.

It is, except the inclusion of that remixed version of Return of the Grievous Angel, lacking the last repetition of the chorus, is a BIG mistake.

So do I, but Gram + Emmylou is a thing of wonder approaching No Other.
On his own, though, or in the Byrds or Burritos, he slips back into the swirling mob of Not Bad

Edit: Which means I voted for Grievous Angel.

The Gilded Palace of Sin is the best, but followed up closely by Grievous Angel. Nice to see some Gram Parsons threads on the board. :D

I picked Grievous Angel but it's virtually a toss-up between that and Gilded Palace.

Hard to pick one, but I went with 'Grievous Angel.' I'd pick most of the choices there over 'Sweetheart,' actually.

Surprised you guys like Grievous Angel more than GP. Both are great, of course, but I prefer the latter.

"Fuckin' Hippie," but Safe at Home has "Blue Eyes" on it, and "Gilded Palace" is pretty damned good.
