2. A-/B-
3. A/B

I can't complain too much.  But I loved DDirt's tirade this morning.

Isn't it "Mandolin Rain"? Or is that a lame GS joke?

Mostly agree with Rad's ratings, although I'd probably give #10 a better grade on both sides. Maybe C/D. As for the Fab Birds, at least it wasn't "Tuff Enuff".

"Big Time".... yes, if you have to lead with an LN, at least have it catchy.
