Frankly, I’m surprised “Squeeze Box” made it this far. And _shocked_ that “Pinball Wizard” didn’t. ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Frankly, I’m surprised “Squeeze Box” made it this far. And _shocked_ that “Pinball Wizard” didn’t. [/QUOTE] Well Pinball Wizard got a bad beat. But Squeeze Box is a way better song than I Can See for Miles. Maybe it wouldn’t last if it was up against something else, but come on! Love, Reign O’er Me is sad for me. It is a greatly under rated song, but I do think Behind Blue Eyes is better. The Seeker and Magic Bus too. Great songs going up against titans. ---

Squeeze Box=meh. ICSFM: The best [mostly] one-note guitar solo on record. Pinball Wizard: Never one of my faves, even live. However, I must say that it was their performance of PW on “This is Tom Jones” that made me a fan. LROM: Sad song? Perhaps. I cry when I hear them play it live, knowing it may be the very last time. In Quad, though, I believe that the song is an affirmation of life. Jimmy didn’t die at the end, you know. ---

Damn, I missed this one until just now. Though to me, the only hard choice was between _5:15_ and _Long Live Rock_. **Pete Townshend bracket** 5. Who Are You 2.
