"You Wear It Well" is IMO better than "Maggie May", so I went for that.

Among his later Warner era singles, "The Killing of Georgie" stands out as the superior one.

No arg from me on that one!

I can't fuck with "Maggie May/Reason to Believe," but I'll rep for "You Wear It Well," "I Was Only Joking," and "The Killing of Georgie." The latter is so serious that I still think it's underrated.

I prefer the 1989 version of "This Old Heart of Mine" with Ronald Isley.

I voted for "Hot Legs" juuuust over "Maggie May/Reason to Believe". Rod's cover of "Angel" is great; Hendrix was a great pop songwriter but that tends to get lost in the "guitar god" business. And the b-side is excellent too (I think of it as a Jerry Lee Lewis song but evidently he didn't write it).

but "Hot Legs" may be my favorite single of the 70s by anyone. Just trying to write about it is making me a physical wreck. I love the video too.

Maggie May/Reason To Believe

That is one of the alltime great Aside/Bside singles

I was going to #1's, but made it Top 10 just to get Hot Legs in there.
