This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Got to go with Stonehenge, which is so perfectly perfect on so many levels. That film created a template by which I watch every single interview with Ron Wood, Robert Plant and a host of others.

Everybodys Happy Nowadays - one of my favourite songs of all time.
3 minutes 12 seconds of perfect guitar pop.
The Raspberries
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

I Saw the Light - I like the descending chords in the chorus. It's a shame that Eric Carmen sold his soul to the musical devil.

Too many to name, but I'll choose "Cronulla Breakdown," a gorgeous little samba-flavored song about love and regret.

muted!
Btw, as promised, here is my favoured Pat Benatar song
Pat Benatar - Promises In The Dark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uCuFidmxQk - I love the sense of drama and heartbreak and passion in most of Pat Benatar's empathetic vocal renderings, but PITD has extra drama and passion and heartbreak. Love the control and building up to hitting the high notes so effortlessly (she is classically trained).
Mostly I love Pat Benatar, I think it's cool how she has never come off all slutty-like, like say Madonna.
back to...

Everybody Move It, from his 2nd album Separate Ways. A great song that should have been played off the radio.

I'm not a Phil Collins fan by any stretch but this one came out during my last year of college and always takes me back to that arcane time and place.

Its got to be the hippy, trippy 'Crimson and Clover' which I sometimes love and sometimes loath, depending on my mood.
