Indeed. Fixed my mistitling.

I think this link should work ?

This is actually a demo only released in 2003.

Spaceman 3 – Walkin’ with Jesus: 8
Spacey and dreamy, while also being slight chilly. Very good.

Henry has made Todd Rundgren an unavoidable force of Biggest Fan and today he helps his idol become the most appearing artist in this game, although he still tied with Jeff Tweedy (through both Uncle Tupelo and Wilco) and Prince. This is the first appearance of Rundgren out of Utopia though. The song is bubblin’ under on AM.

417. Todd Rundgren – A Dream Goes on Forever
Year: 1974
Album: Todd
Biggest Fan: Henry (#76)

Todd Rundgren – A Dream Goes on Forever: 6
There is a good song in here, but I can't help feeling that it is unnecessarily busy.

417. Todd Rundgren – A Dream Goes on Forever: 9.9

The busy observation is spot on. But, the song has some harmonies, synth and percussion ornamentation that work for me.

Perhaps the "With a twist" version would be preferred by Rob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NZAll4YwfI

Candyman has a crush on Jennifer Paige, or is it the other way around? Whatever the case, the critics loved her and her song too, but if it is only for a position of #7916 is it really a crush?

418. Jennifer Paige - Crush
Year: 1998
Album: Jennifer Paige
Biggest Fan: candyman (#173)

Same as Gillingham, the name and title didn't ring a bell, but the song is turned out to be easily recognizable. Got a lot of airplay in the day, although I never thought about it much. It's kind of fun pop in a specific mold of its time.

Well, there are McCartney songs I dislike more, including some actual hits, but there are many more songs of his that I like more than Driving Rain, to say the least.

Daryl Hall & John Oates – Sara Smile: 5
I never got the appeal of this duo and painfully slow and schmalzy songs like this don't do them any favor.

Wailing Souls – Shark Attack: 7
Not the most aggressive shark attack, but a fun one. And it fits any tropical island that might actually have sharks.

M24 bring us another big song today, with over 300.000.000 streams on Spotify alone. In contrast to most hits we get in this game this isn’t some pop, but an example of the always popular on AM nu-metal genre. It ranks on AM at #6534.

423. Slipknot – Wait and Bleed
Year: 1999

Barclay James Harvest – Mocking Bird: 8
One of the more natural sounding prog songs of the era, earning it's grand pay-off by carefully working up to it. A satisfying song.
