I just love EVERYTHING about Think About Me. The guitar sound is perfect. The drums and tempo are perfect. The DUAL Chris/Linds vocal.

I think it's made every single FM compilation I've ever created.

Have I mentioned how much I love that song?

Just heard "Think About Me" while in the "99 cent store" this past weekend. I usually feel like such a pauper when I shop there, but once I heard it over the store's sound system, I felt like I was meant to be there.

FM kismet!

I do the Dollar Store for a few things. CD cases, hot sauce(I get this killer habenaro sauce, that will melt your face), and household cleaning products. And jars of pepperocini peppers, which are featured prominently in my world famous bloody marys! Which are drank while listening to Think About Me(on topic!!!).

I agree about the two of them (Chris & Linsdey) having a blend of sounds and a delivery of voices and sounds. The need of love past and present in their song subject "think about me", with a drum beat that reflects a heart beat.

IMO

Yes. But without OMH, Rhiannon probably wouldn't have gotten heard. OMH opened the gates and made it possible for American audiences to see FM as a singles band.

It's such a great song. Gritty guitar, seductive vocals. Great drum beats.

And I love the live versions, too, where the song is sped up and the keyboards pushing it forward.
