It was the weakest track out of a bunch of good ones.


Also, it’s not that great.

Admittedly that poll probably had the most consistent list of good songs out of all the polls but RG is better than City Of The Dead plus RG is great.

Rocker's Galore is both worse than just about every b side that came before it, and better than just about every b side that came after.

Still grieving over Dictator, hardly the worst song on the side.

It isn’t and it isn’t.
Good god, I'm agreeing with you again. City of the Dead is great, a proper song. Whilst I like Mikey's toasting on Living In Fame, Rockers Galore always seemed like a lazy toss off.
