Its level pegging between Empire State Human by The Human League and The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme



The Human League: Empire State Human »

 

Guitar Man--Bread

 

BTW Live-
U2 whole set

Joni "Shades of Scarlett Conquering" and "A Case of You"

 

Our Love Was Is
I Can't Reach You

These two songs from The Who Sell Out always make me stop and listen, with al their youthful shimmering power pop energy.
I guess some of the appeal to me is they lack the constant attention of the Meaty Beaty Big Bouncy and Who's Next songs, and don't require a deeper understanding of the "thematic structural context" that songs from Tommy or Quadrophenia may need.

If you've ever felt that yearning, then these songs hit that spot.
