Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Revolution --- The Beatles. Let's you know where it's going. John slamming and screaming Thunder Road --- Bruce Springsteen. The Harmonica and Piano set a mood. Damn but if you can't actually see that screen door and the teenage goddess named Mary. Tangled up in Blue --- The way the guitars chime is...well...fucking sublime Quote Link to post Share on other sites
