"Tell Me Something Good" would have been a better choice, IMO.
>> 142. Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

A classic! Knopfler's a guitarist's guitar god, and this shows his
style wonderfully, as opposed to "Money For Nothing", which is
self-referential.
>> 149. Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

"Sunshine Superman" is a better song (to me), and it charted higher.
>> 164. Elton John - Bennie and the Jets

What's wrong with that one?
>> 219. Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

I'd have preferred one or two of the songs from the Graham Nash era.
>> 330. Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

"Lithium". "Or Rape Me."

Queens were a much more popular singles band than Yes. You have to act
like a douchebag in every thread do you. I have always maintained that
Queen was the better singles band. And Yes was the better album band.

So far away- Dire Straits. Great tone that Knopfler gets on that one.

What's wrong with "Hurdy Gurdy Man"? Was the guitar solo too long for
you? :)

No joke. Awesome song... Makes other blues crooning songs pale in
comparison...
