Did not know about I'm Gonna make You Feel It (awful choice), Father OSA (good song, but not a pop single), Winner Take All (Would have been great with DDY on lead vox and maybe a hit single), or Unfinished song!?!? (wish they had promoted that one!).

And is it just me or did RCA have a bit of a "Blue Collar Man" fetish with "Best Thing"? Could you try to release that song a few more times?

Always thought 'What Has Come Between U's and' Young Man' were two of Styx's best on Wooden Nickel.
