is it really? it's almost never cited as such on almost any best songs list? (did see it during fakebooks tour once, which i don't think was a coincidence, and then there's the list in this thread). usually GYOW is by far highest ranked FM song. then there are few others, and Dreams doesn't even make the list of 200 or 500 best classic rock songs. GYOW makes almost every single one.


My ranking:

1. Second Hand News
2. The Chain
3. GYOW
4. Gold Dust Woman
5. Don’t Stop
5. IDWK
5. YMLF
5. NGBA
5. Songbird
10. Dreams
11. Oh Daddy
