1. I Want You To Want Me.....Probably everyone's top song. It's a beauty.
2. Surrender.....One of their greatest live tunes.
3. Ain't That a Shame.....A Fats Domino original from 1955, but perfected by this band.
4. Gonna Raise Hell.....I like it because it doesn't sound like anything else they've done.
5. Dream Police.....Unmistakable signature song.
6. She's Tight.....More Bun E. Carlos, please.
7. The Flame.....Robin Zander sings it well.
8. If You Want My Love.....Some great lyrics, indeed.
9. Stop This Game.....Great tune, time after time.
10. Southern Girls.....A Budokan classic. Go listen to it and thank me later.
11. Tonight It's You.....More great singing by one of the best in the biz.
12. Voices.....Is it creepy? Maybe, but it's so cool.
13. Come On, Come On.....Some good bass guitar by one of my favorite bass players, Tom Pederson, the unsung hero of the band.
14. Can't Stop Falling Into Love.....Stop already. It's a dynamic melody.
15. Heaven Tonight.....An early hit from the self titled album.
UNDERRATED SONG: I Can't Take It.....First track from the little heard from "Next Position Please" record.
OVERRATED SONG: Don't Be Cruel.....Never liked it when Elvis was all thrusty hips with it.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: I'm Losing You.....It's an old song by The Faces and it features John Lennon on vocals. It's a slightly hidden gem that really shines.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: I just gotta have me some "Live at Budokan". It got me through the high school years. Strong consideration was given to "Heaven Tonight" and "In Color" also.
