"Don't Take Me Alive" makes for a great TOTHC.

BOS, Neil Young, Long May You Run.

As much as I pretend to dislike country, this hick is my kind of country.

I'd be happy with *anything* from Hotel Calif besides the three hit singles.  And I think I've previously sung the praises of Tanya Tucker's cover of "After The Thrill is Gone".

Woo Hoo! Sweet Lou! BOS2.  

"Gone but not forgotten, up in Soul Heaven", as KPOO's JJ would say.

BOS3 Boston, 'cause it's sounding good to me this AM, and at least it's not "More Than a Telstar".

Seconding the BOS.  Even though I just learned recently that the song really is about a car, rather than an aging hippie rockstar.

Right down to the clear running stream.

If she'd been more shameless, Lita Ford could've had a massive hit ratcheting this up even a few more notches c. 1989.
