as far as my opinions - i don't care much for Mirage as an album, although i love and adore Hold Me and Eyes of the World.

so Eyes, i've never heard a bad version, and i think it's a great little rocking song. there are several demo versions of the Eyes jam floating around and i adore those.

Can't Go Back is like a Lindsey's throwback Elvis imitation, and i think it's fun.

i don't care for his other Mirage songs. but i disagree that Oh Diane sounds like a Christine song. it's a clear throwback to rockabilly era, and i think it was his tongue-in-cheek response to being forced back in the formula: "you want formula? i'll give you as formula as one can get!"
Agreed... sounds a little rockabilly.. and I believe it was sort of a "up yours" tune..
