Pinging to those from the previous threads. This one seemingly came out of nowhere to appear so high on this list among some all-time classics. There's a story behind it, as it was part of a regular rotation of slow, mellow tunes I used to play while driving home trying to unwind after late-night hockey games. Seems like I still can remember every small town I drove through on my way home in the wee hours of the morning in the early 2000s.

"Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street ... where I'm just another rider burned to the ground."

Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed from the ping list!

Really enjoying this list, thank you!

What I like about "Sullivan Street" are the background vocals by Maria McKee, solo artist and former lead singer of Lone Justice. She can also be heard again on "A Murder Of One," also on August and Everything After.

McKee had a few hits in the 80s and early 90s--very promising voice, but perhaps a little too artistic, a little too angst-y to really break out into the mainstream.
