I had this at 37, so pretty close to where it finished. I love how this is one of those songs that is unlike anything else the band ever did, and yet is still pretty damn amazing. Neil's drumming, which was so creative and so different from his normal rock approach, goes to another level. Killer stuff all-around.
When I was taking bass lessons, my teacher challenged me to pick a song I didn't like and learn the bass part. This was the song I picked. Having this at #35 is downright shameful. I had it at #132.
