I’m So Tired of Being Alone (Al Green) 6 vs. Love Train (O Jays) 7
Jacob, no love for the The River? It’s one of Springsteen’s best songs, and not just because of High Fidelity–great harmonica, great bridge, and as bleak as anything not on Nebraska. I like Sounds of Silence but the The River just blows it out of the water.
Mr. Press, you work fast! Have you voted on yesterday’s match-ups? Hungry Heart is great, but some peeps are already giving me flak for having too many of the Boss’s tunes.
