As I have time on my hands I was thinking of compiling a chart of favourite Garage Band songs. This doesn't quite qualify as it's a conscious change of direction from a band that at one point would have fitted under that category. A very fine song, standing almost exactly on the line between Pop and Rock. Strangely the song it sounds closest to to me is Sweet Jane, by The Velvet Underground which came out a year later. very American song somehow. It was a huge Number 1 there and a big hit virtually everywhere else except for the UK. Our loss!
