I suppose it's personal and subjective..songs/ music very personal to me and provide a veritable soundtrack to my up & down life...and what my station at that time was.
Beast of Burden...came to me slowly, When The Whip Comes Down appealed more...but i was at Art College then and mashed most times. I hear it today and..yeah it ain't bad- but i prefer Shattered!
Comfortably Numb..was about 11 months after Some Girls...i was straight and heading to work in the docks in Holland..so i had a Dutch version out there...and Comfortably Numb became a bedroom track as opposed to a bar room one. Hey You touches a few nerves of folks gone...1979 was a year of such diverse music....Brick In The Wall nicely dovetailed between My Sharona and London Calling.
