"I will Follow", which I got to see live on their first American tour in a club in San Francisco that only held a few hundred people.
They were supposed to come to a small college town in upstate NY but Live UABRS took off and they cancelled as their popularity went stratospheric. Funny story, a girl I dated in the early 80s was gushing over a Cheap Trick concert she had seen in Cleveland but whining about the warm up band--some "Irish band with an airplane name" is how she described them. This was right about the time MTV was playing I will follow, New Years day and Sunday Bloody Sunday videos daily.
Funny you should mention Cheap Trick, because I got to see them before they were famous, too. I lived in Madison Wisc when they were still a local bar band in the area (being from nearby Rockford), and I met Rick Neilson. Well, I'm not sure "met" is really the word, but I was really drunk one night and this weird guy kept talking to me and acting odd, and I didn't actually know who he was until he climbed onstage.
But those arent on the 10 songs I listed that you must choose from. :lol:
well being sort of a libertarian myself, I don't follow silly rules when the answers I have are far superior. I really don't follow even if I like the song
*dropping pill in water*
*putting lemon wedge in water*
*Mixing*
*Pouring*
Hey Turtledude! Heres a glass of water. You look thirsty. :2wave:

my only similar experience was being on a hs committee to get a band for a party and we got a band named WILD CHERRY for about 500 bucks. A few months later they released "Play that Funky music white boy". THe next year I tried to get them again but we didn't have 10,000 bucks to blow
One of my best friends when I was a grad student was the son of a man who owned a night club that featured some up and coming acts in the Queens area. This guy got to be a friend of Joe Strummer-sadly when they played nearby I was out of town since I was the varsity coach as well.
