Put me down for "Paint it Black" or "Sympathy For The Devil."<BR/><BR/>This is probably common. I bet most bands' "signature" is one that has lost luster with hard-core to dedicated fans, either because it's widespread success was due to some simplistic or lowest-common-denominator element of the song, or just by over-use. <BR/><BR/>Best "Fletch" line is, of course:<BR/><BR/>"I hate Tommy LaSorda!"Julius_Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01265326822534167730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988004.post-61653983120239149872008-11-23T11:13:00.000-05:002008-11-23T11:13:00.000-05:00nice post..I'd say Satisfaction, followed by Start...nice post..<BR/><BR/>I'd say Satisfaction, followed by Start Me Up..
