What’s So Great About Certain Songs All White Guys My Age Love

Up Around the Bend - Credence Clearwater Revival
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT IT, XMASTIME? There’s no break after the first chorus; you’re expecting one but he goes right back into the verse which is exhilarating; like getting shot out of the log flume tunnel.

Stone Cold Yesterday - The Connells
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT IT, XMASTIME? These motherfuckers knew how to hide a weak lead singer with some well-placed backups; also, the slide back into the final pre-chorus is a great rip-off of the exact same part during Left of the Dial, which is my favorite moment of any Replacements song.

Feel - Big Star
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT IT, XMASTIME? If the the horns and piano never appeared I’m pretty sure I never would have given this a second listen.
