Top 100 Best Singles Of All Time! (The Best Of Music)

5:25 That transition from What's Going On to Pagan Poetry was extremely smooth

[@jackstrawful]

ha, i noticed that too. And just a couple songs later at 5:42 from Joga to Enjoy the Silence, even though the very end of the word is cut off, since it blends into the guitar note. One going into Bjork, the other coming out of Bjork.
