I know it..It's legendary, but I stand fast by god Only Knows.
With 'Sky Blue and Black' (Jackson Browne) running a close 2nd

(FYI the first verse of Sky Blue and Black adorns the entry to the rock and roll hall of fame, credited as the greatest lyrics ever written, as far as the rock and roll hall of fame think)
I'm biased, I was brought up with Jackson all my life thanks to my mother, he's my idol musically.

Don't make me listen to more stuff! I just spent 10 minutes rummaging around for my copy of "Surf's Up", which I'm now listening to.("Disney Girls 1957" and the title track being highlights, but it's got some truly dreadful stuff on it too)
