Mongoloid, he was a Mongoloid
Nobody even cared.”
I can still hear it to this day...
One of my favorite live performances.

SiriusXM does these all the time but at least they let listeners vote and just tabulate the results.

"Love Over Gold" is their best album, too...although I prefer the live concert version of Telegraph Road.
What is with the flower pots on the heads of those dorks?
Not even close... Maybe 20 out of the 100 listed.
Agree. The other ones are great, too, but Love Over Gold is special. One of the best sides in music history: Telegraph Road and Private Investigations.
Yes I know, but it was the first thing that popped in my head.
lists such as this , are totally subjective, and liking certain music or songs, is in the ear of the beholder.
