I was ready to fight over this one but I suppose you’re right. I didn’t even remember “I do” until I went back and listened to it. That song definitely had a moment.

I think that’s more my point. According to the band, they’ve never really had a hit…except Pull Me Under.

This is the cover to their Greatest Hit compilation.

Your average Joe on the street would not recognize any Dream Theater songs.

I almost broke out Dragon Force “Through the Fire and Flames,” but I think they’ve had a nice string of hits.

I’m not going to remove the heart for Nena, even though she doesn’t really qualify.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the English version has a cleaner melody but worse lyrics?

Was this a cover??

You might want to research it. It might be on my Christmas quiz.

The Verve developed “Bitter Sweet Symphony” from a sample from a 1965 version of the Rolling Stones song “The Last Time” by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra, adding vocals, strings, guitar and percussion. After a lawsuit by the Rolling Stones’ former manager, Allen Klein, the Verve relinquished all royalties and the Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were added to the songwriting credits. In 2019, ten years after Klein’s death, Jagger, Richards, and Klein’s son ceded the rights to the Verve songwriter, Richard Ashcroft.

So it was. Then it wasn’t. Now it is. Very interesting.
