Where does Best of What's Around rank?

Top 3 song for me, always has been and always will be one of my favorites... and hearing it last weekend in Camden and looking around in the pit and seeing everyone with a huge smile on their face singing and dancing along to this song... just a great sight


Where does this song rank and thoughts towards the song?

    Haven't really thought about it. Maybe top 20. Could be top 30.

    Top 30? It's not one of my must-have favorites, but it's far from being in the dislike pile.

    Top 10, probably one of the best side A/track 1's in my collection. Yes, I'm dating myself :-)

    Never thought it to be top anything for me, but after buying UTTAD (recently) and seeing others post, I bump it up on my list

    The Live recording from 7/28/1992 with Peter Griesar on the keyboards is incredible- a bit of a slower tempo, great cadence. That song is one that just reaffirms my initial impression of the band that they were and are like nothing I had heard before.

    Feel the same way, voted top 20. And I was just thinking the other day how far up the ranks this song has moved up for me. Love it

    Who voted "not a fan"? I've honestly never heard anyone say they didn't like BOWA. Just curious why.
