"Our Town" is a masterpiece, I think the best think he ever wrote and recorded. People bashed Steve Lillywhite's production, but it's genius on that tune. I remember telling Marshall how much I loved size of the thing and the sound of the chimes, and him saying how there were no chimes and trying to explain to a layman how that they got that sound. Great stuff!

Are there any others?
As for Stones tracks, I might go a bit psychedelic with 'Dandelion'. Always loved that tune.
Marshall Crenshaw? "Our Town" or "Monday Morning Rock", both from Field Day.
How could I not mention the Who? "I Can't Reach You" or "Our Love Was". So much of Sell Out is ignored by radio, (except 'I Can See For Miles'), and that entire CD is just incredible.
Pete (after the failure of Miles as a single): "I spat on the English record buyer!"
