I was going Mountain or Ram Jam until I saw "New York Groove"

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 22:34 (six years ago)

Mountain and Ram Jam are two of my biggest faves too, and I love that they are 2:30 and 2:33. All meat, no filler.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i was thinking this is impossible until i saw "My Sharona" as it might be my first favorite song.

Bee OK, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 01:31 (six years ago)

Voted for the only song here used in a 70s Bigfoot splatter movie.
