i like to see all these replacement tracks... i was planning on putting "i will dare" but i could be convinced otherwise.

billy, i appreciate the "not my favorites, but good for this exercise" comment... that's what this is really kinda about, i guess, some tracks i feel people should hear and not necessarily tracks they'll love.

there's so many '80s college radio favorites on these lists...

i need to choose an elvis track.

I would say that "Little Sister" is more toward the beginning.
