1. "When We Was Fab"

5. "Not Guilty"
6. "Dark Sweet Lady"
7. "Living In The Material World"

Interesting top 10. Two songs off Extra Texture, nice. I've always been particularly fond of "Can't Stop Thinking About You".

Was "Tom Cat" only performed/recorded during the 1974 tour? I don't think it was ever officially released, was it?

The computer info next to "Tom Cat" is "Baton Rouge CD2". It doesn't tell year. George introduces song, he doesn't sing, he & his band get into this cool jam in the stage. It definitely isn't studio. Frankly, I'd switch it with "Bangladesh" & "When We". It's way cool to be just 3.

Harrison was in Baton Rouge for his Dark Horse tour in 1974. I was in High School at the time and went to this concert. Featured sets by Ravi Shankar and Billy Preston (he was excellent), then a very hoarse Harrison .

A nearly impossible task, trying to find a top 10 for Billy Joel. As I would with the Beatles or Beach Boys, can only pick a top 10 for today. A few days from now there would be changes.

In no particular order:

She's Got a Way
Pressure
Allentown
Goodnight Saigon
You're Only Human (Second Wind)
Through the Long Night
Zanzibar
Travelin' Prayer
The Downeaster 'Alexa'
This is the Time

Charles Manson

1. "Invisible Tears" (beautiful song, Charlie sings it beautifully, feel-good backing track (guitar), relaxes people if they hear it I think, like everything's good, everything's fine, really makes you escape the surroundings, what's irl, just 2 minutes & it gives such effect)
2. "Your Home Is Where You're Happy" (DonnyL posted cover in Smilers Who Make Music which means we 2 like it jolly much!)
3. "Ra Hide Away" (too bad it's joined by "Family", those dreadful girl voices. Still it's cool, the Charlie lead)
4. "Eyes Of A Dreamer" (fast, even rushing-like song, really cool)
5. "Look At Your Game Girl" (instant classic, what can I tell ya)
6. "Sick City" (real goodie, that the title repeats many times isn't big issue)
7. "People Say I'm No Good" (big fave)
8. "Arkansas" (y'know, it's real fine song)
9. "Ego" (interesting song, it could be even better with good sonic mixing)
10. "Garbage Dump" (it's fun & Charlie does sing it with jokey intonations)

Stone Temple Pilots (speaking of Scott Weiland)

1    About a Fool
2  Samba Nova
3  Hello It's Late
4 Heed the Water Whisperer
5  Still Remains
6   Song for Sleeping

Buddy Holly

1. "That'll Be The Day"
2. "Peggy Sue"
3. "Wishin'" (version with guitars better but with muted riffing is good too)
4. "Crying Waiting Hoping"
5. "Peggy Sue Got Married"

Solid consensus choices for number 1 and 2. And A personal favorite at #3.

fourth choice is provocative for its own sake, it seems. Unless it's undubbed apartment tape.  Then it's merely provocative. ...very provocative, indeed!
5. I love, love this song! The dubbed version by the ...umm..Fireballs...right?  (From 20 Golden Greats)


I don't know about the bottom 5. Nevertheless, you know where it's at.
