I'm with DD. It's a stunningly beautiful song. It might not be the most immediate song, but by God has it got some class.
Light some candles, sit in your most comfortable armchair, turn it up.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup Match 10
Oh wow The lead singer of REO has one of my least favourite voices in all rockdom, so they are starting behind the black ball already, but the track itself is a good example of competent '70s FM radio rock. The guitarist earned his pay, nice break. But B is more my thing, a sleeper on the album but a track i really like.

One of George's most beautiful songs (counting for the Beatles, yes) vs. every Midwestern Rock Cliche. I think I'll go with B.
The scary thing is that's one of the better REO songs I've heard.

B is my favourite George track, full stop. A mighty tune.

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

B's an obvious pick and all, but I cannot in good conscience vote against it here.

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup Match 10
I was prepared to hate A, of course, but it's actually not half bad. No contest against one of my favourite Harrisongs, though.

Oh boy!!! I'm a sucker for The Wagon and their ilk; I even have a single by them somewhere. George Harrison's voice is the only Beatles one I actually like, and "Here Comes The Sun" is far far far x 25 and away my top Beatles track. Fuck.
I'll have to go with the classy pick ( unusually )

Re: 70s KnockOut Cup Match 10
A - only good thing about that REO song is the album name. My friend at the time played that album to death. Haven't really listened to it in 30 years. okay pop song I guess
B- Lovely George song although low on the All Thing Must Pass sessions.

i would just like to note at this particular juncture that this comment made me splort like a bitchbastard.
i meant what i said in this thread about liking this speedwagon track. in my very first car, i had an 8 track player. i also had an 8 track of you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish. as my two fave songs lived on the same track, i played it over and over and over.
two months later, my new car (the one my ma sold her baby grand to get for me) was totalled. my own fault. i let a jealous friend drive.
no real point here.
... except maybe, am i the only one who is in shock protocol becuz jumper k picked an reo song??
