Since it has been the theme this month on this here board. "Dance This Mess Around."

"Brass In Pocket" is in another universe and one of the best songs ever made.

Perhaps it is, but not in the one I live.

To be clear, I do not not like Brass In Pocket, but it's my least favorite among the first 3-4 years' worth of Pretenders singles.

On the Sunday morning sidewalks
wishing Lord that I was stoned
'cause there's something in a Sunday
that makes a body feel alone
and there's nothin' short of dyin'
half as lonesome as the sound
on the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down

1. BOC 2. Stevie Wonder

my controversial opinion is that I think "Jolene" as a song is just okay and it annoys me how much people elevate it other country music. I feel this way about Johnny Cash too. Obv nothing against Dolly Parton & her excellent chops.

I voted for "I Wish" even though Stevie has a bunch of 70s tracks I'd rate higher.

You might be on to something, but I've loved that song since I was a wee boy.

Since I did a one-per-artist thing for the list, narrowing it down to a single Stevie song was difficult. But I never don't want to listen to I Wish all the way through, and it's been like that for years.

Easy. Boulder to Birmingham.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The right 1-2 punch as far as I'm concerned!

All the songs that received zero votes are still amazing btw.
