Great pick, Spidey. :yes:

Fresh-Garbage from Spirit by Spirit

 

[BlindBoyGrnt]

The Pretenders - Precious

That's a good'un. Now I'm going to get everyone upset. "More Than a Feeling" - Boston. Even though this is not the greatest single out there, it was pretty damn good, and it encapsulated all of what Boston was (or ever was later). It had all the attributes of a great AM and FM single, and anything after that doesn't count.

 

[spideyjack]

Great pick, Spidey. :yes:

thanks! i know it's a big favorite for you also

Great choice, Spidey. I'm going to give this some thought. Maybe "Born to be Wild". Maybe "Piece of my Heart". This requires research, and sober second thought, worthy of the senate.
