Vote for which grouping you like best.

I am going with 1, as I am big fan of all three of those songs.

5 would be good except for that Lakeshore Drive song.

Even though both Renegade and Hot Blooded are decent songs, Life's Been Good is the absolute worst song ever made by anyone. So I definitely can't pick that group.

All the other groups also have 1 song that I can't stand.....hmmm, I suppose group 2 would be the lesser of 4 evils...

Derek Sherinian probably stands 10 feet away from the urinal, shoots from downtown, and announces loudly that he's making history.

That song REALLY blows, so I'm with you there.

From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

It's a great song, but the rest of the album it is from is total and utter trash.  Very much a one-hit wonder, albeit a regional one.

I don't hate Life's Been Good, but I definitely do not like it very much.  There are parts of it I like, but it's a bit too tedious for me.  I get why many love it, but I don't.

Worse than the Pina Colada Song (Rupert Holmes "Escape")?   That's a horse race, right there!!

If I was forced to listen to one song for the rest of my life and had to pick between those 2 songs, I'd pick the Pina Colada song.

Goddamn. I never would have called that.  Hmm.   I'd rather listen to someone chew for four minutes than hear that Pina Colada song again.

Wow lots of hate for Life's Been Good. Wouldn't have predicted that. I recall liking it a lot back in the day, and I didn't care of any of Walsh's other hits or songs I knew.

Don't Look Back 5
Surrender 2
Dreams I've Never Seen 1
Total 8

Sultans of Swing 3
Baker Street 3
Who Do You Love? 2
Total 8

Renegade 4
Hot Blooded 3
Life's Been Good 3
Total 10

Who Are You 3
Hold the Line 4
Werewolves of London 4
Total 11

Wheel in the Sky 4
Roll with the Changes 4
Lake Shore Drive 1
Total 9

1, 3 and 4 all have two really strong songs.  Group 4 has the strongest pair, but that awful Zevon song drags that group down.  I went with 3.
