A perfect song? What are your choices?

@mitchagain - 'I'm On Fire' by Dwight Twilley Band? Great choice - what a wonderful power-pop song that was! 

@vonharaland - ... and that's 'Search and Destroy'....

"I'm a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm...." - Classic....

@bdp24 - I remember that Emmitt Rhodes album - that kind of singer/songwriter stuff was very popular when I was in college in the early 70's, and it did come out around the same time as Macca's first. 

Also agree that 'Starry Eyes' is a classic. My fave power-pop band though was the Smithereens, out of Buffalo, NY.... 

@mitchagain - That's Alan Parker, not Alan Holdsworth.... 

@mitchagain - yeah, I'd just looked at the same Wiki article that you did! 😀 I didn't know that John Bonham was on that session - I like learning things like that! From reading the article, I got the impression that it was Parker, not Holdsworth. In fact, I just looked at the Allen Holdsworth Wiki, and it says:

There has been an urban myth, propagated in part by the singer Donovan, that Holdsworth played the fuzztone solo on Donovan's 1968 hit "Hurdy Gurdy Man", but the solo was actually played by Alan Parker.^[22][23]
