There were many famous songs of Smithereens available. Smithereens was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Smithereens and Rare together. There is so much to love about Smithereens, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Rare is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Ball & Chain is one of these floating songs. Get Rare and turn on Behind the Wall of Sleep (live with Graham Parker) if you are going to sip your wine late at night. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. One After 909 defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Ruler of My Heart is the most memorable and amazing. Shakin’ All Over sets the tone for the entire album. Stay as a highlight of Rare contains a ton of marvelous melodies. The Seeker (Live) is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. You Really Got Me (live with The Kinks) have really caught my ear and imagination. You Really Got Me - To me, this is the best song on the Rare. I hope to keep hearing Smithereens works for a long time to come. I can’t stop playing blue period (acoustic). It’s a great pleasure to listen to time and time again from the beginning to the end. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. hang ten high presents the exquisite mix of instruments on Rare. Although poor little pitiful one (Top of the Pops) is very melodic it is far from sad. the seeker is pretty funky and mellow. world keeps going round is a very catchy tune.
