How interesting. But I would have chosen HOLD ME as exemplifying those particular characteristics more closely than does GO YOUR OWN WAY, where the vocal harmonies aren't by any stretch of the imagination "subtle" & the major-key tonality is compromised by the powerful chorus in a minor "key" (really a modal or natural minor that continues through the fade-out).

Incidentally, is HOLD ME the only tune from the band's stage shows that ended on the dominant?
