I'm fascinated by this song - I love it and love the album, though I definitely know that most people don't feel that way. I can still listen to the album straight through and enjoy though.

As in worst song, ever!!<br><br>I'm convinced Neil is hugely ashamed by this stereophonically swooshing synth dreck. Did he demand his background music mimic the 1984 stylings of the Pointer Sisters? "Hey, I sure loved those gals' "Neutron Dance!" But he pens lame-o lines like, "We're headed for the future, and the future's now! Show you how."<br><br>Some of the worst stuff of his or anyone's career. I wish he had paid Diane Warren to help him do better. Maybe she was to busy fending off calls from Frank Stallone.

Gave it the initial listen upon purchasing and I do remember that it was way better than I expected, but I don't think I've ever went back to it. Between this and the Dire Straits albums, looks like I need to pull out a few LP's and get listening. I do own Yo Frankie.

As much as I heard it growing up and despite the fact it was really the first piece of the collection - I never really thought of this as more than a simple novelty. I don't want to smash it, but there's nothing about "Spirit in the Sky" that makes me want to dig any deeper. I never actually bothered going beyond this song.

I've listened to “Skateaway” a few times today and I like it more and more each time I listen to it. It's never really been on my radar before, but I'm getting it now. I think I might have to go and give these albums a few good listens again.
