Name a song better than this one...
OK, here's how it works. Try and name a better song than the song named by your predecessor. I won't make it easy, because I will lay out the trump card immediately.

Eddie Money - "Take Me Home Tonight"


(I know, I know. Completely unfair as it's the best song ever!)

Dwight Twilley Rocks. I used to have a great album called "Twilley" that I couldn't find for ages which was just released as a twofer with Scuba Divers. Definitely picking this up.

I love U2 as well, but that song doesn't trump the Kraftwerk tune. No way.

The Records "Starry Eyes"

I agree. "Pride" is nowhere near as good as "I'm On Fire" and "The Model" basically trumps all but a handful of songs.
