Gugnyeyed defitionn of "Great" with an added twist of "True Great." Do you cry yourself to sleep every night knowing that Jeter is one of the greats of the game? Now you have to add a qualifier: "He's not a TRUE great." That gets you to sleep I suppose, right? / Jeter is not one of the all time greats. I'll sleep perfectly well KNOWING that.

He's definitely not in the same league as someone like Ruth, Mayes, Mantle, Gehrig, Aaron, Williams, etc... I do have man fine memories of him though. The 2000 Subway World Series stands out where he hit .409 and won the MVP comes to mind as they completed the three peat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured you as sometime older. Far Behind was released in 1993. Most of us fogeys consider the Classic Rock era to run from the 60's and 70's. As for the song, it's okay for a one-hit wonder.

BuffaloBill Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 15 hours ago, Gugny said: Great song (although "You" is a much better song from the same album). But saying it's one of the greatest rock songs ever is like saying Derek Jeter is one of the greatest baseball players, ever. He was great. Everyone loved him. But he wasn't even in the same universe as the true greats. According to I-Tunes download popularity “you” is second to far behind. Both good songs but the masses speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my first concerts candlebox at UB. Like 93/94, around there sometime. Opening acts were Our Lady Peace and then Sponge. OLP and Sponge were so good that Candlebox basically got booed off the stage. They were crying about the crowd and eventually walked off playing like 20 or 30 mins only. It was a long time ago, my memory is probably fuzzy, but thats how I remember it. The song is OK. But best rock songs of all time? Come on man, get a grip.

The singer did stop the show early on to ask people not to body surf because he knew someone that became paralyzed after falling awkwardly whilst body surfing.
