https://www.billboard.com/articles/colu ... -hits-list For me it would be (in no particular order): 1. Sentimental Fool 2. A Really Good Time 3. Sunset 4. The Bogus Man 5. Just Like You 6. Stronger Through the Years 7. Nightingale 8. 2HB 9. Mother of Pearl 10. Re-Make/Re-Model I'll probably change my mind in a minute. |

Both yer list and the journo`s list in the link to me is highly debatable and speaks of consensus and received wisdom. Where`s is the list with a personal twist? I think yer A Really Good Time, Sunset, The Bogus Man and Nightingale are a bit dubious. It would never fit in with AM radio. |

These are the Roxy tunes that especially float my boat. |

Phew! Quite a list. However, I`ve never "gotten" Just Another High. -A tedious country song, imo. |

I've always had a soft spot for 'JAH'; great lyrics, rock solid drumming and a very long fade out that brings a fine album to an exquisite end. 'Whirlwind', on the other hand, is a bloody racket!!! |

I really like Just Another High. I read BF saying at the time of the Siren tour that they weren’t able to play (recreate) the best songs from the album live: which would suggest BF thought the best songs were End of the Line, Just Another High and Could it Happen to Me which of course he played live in 1977. |

‘Just Another High’ was played the second night at Leeds University Union. I was there both nights and have recordings of both nights. I do not know if it was played anywhere else on the ‘Siren’ tour. |

Any chance you could share a copy of the recordings? I have always loved Just Another High. Relevant lyrics to me on several fronts. |
