Jayhawks - Blue

[Slinky]

Well, I just went to the chart archive site (www2.uta.edu/hunt/charts/chart.html) to figure out where Collective Soul's "Gel" peaked for that topic, and I noticed that the front page said that the Jayhawks "Blue" was the first ever #50 song on R&R.

This, to me, was shocking, as I thought the Jayhawks were relatively obscure, only getting play on AAA.  I can't believe this song was a top 50 hit!  It only got to #49, but the idea of any CHR playing this is amazing to me. 

Anyway, I think this is an excellent song.  I'm not a huge fan of alt-country, but this song sticks out to me as incredibly sad and passionate.  It's only in the last couple years that I've discovered this song, thanks to Philly's AAA, 88.5 XPN.

I forgot all about this song. I really like this song.

Don't like anything else I've heard by them

This one wasn't bad. It's too bad that the Thorns had to completely ruin it.

I don't like it.

McDonald's used to play this A LOT. Didn't know it was that big at all on CHR, only thought they were New and Active in 1993 or so with "Take Me With You".
