Heard them all before.

1. Things I'd Like to Say
2. You Showed Me
3. Time of the Season
4. This Magic Moment
5. Crimson and Clover

I love the first three, but "Time of the Season" still suffers from a little burn due to radio overplay. "You Showed Me" and "Things I'd Like to Say" are both beautiful and I kept going back and forth on which to list as #1. "This Magic Moment" is perfectly nice, but nothing for which I've ever gone crazy and it also has some burn from overplay. I actually think "Crimson and Clover" is one of the weakest singles released by Tommy James & The Shondells; love them, but I don't think this song is that great. The follow-up ("Sweet Cherry Wine"), on the other hand, I find great.
