Oh nooooo.
What have been been missing since I've Been away!? Fender's got his list onboard and it's great so far buddy! 
CCR's best track ever, great late 70's singles from Squeeze and the Buggles too. And Bowie's best track to boot. I can't complain about anything so far mate, keep 'em rolling.

But in 1981, they were thrust into the limelight with their feel good anthem Don’t Stop Believing. Although the song cropped up in TV shows and movies, the band never quite recaptured that initial success.
That was until 2009 when the popular TV show Glee covered the song. While the Glee version performed well, the original Journey track rocketed up the charts, peaking at number 9 in the UK.
It continues to perform well in digital downloads, consistently being one of the most downloaded songs not of the 21st Century.
(Copied from an article in the Sun)
Great band, and I must confess that Don't Stop Believin' would have been the first song I ever heard by this great band Journey, though not from Glee I hasten to add! It was in a pub in Hull called the Trog Bar circa 1981-82 I think.
Bought the single, then the album and gradually got them all after that

Re: Fenders Top 20
No.7 Rock This Town - The Stray CatsI just love this song and especially this live version.
Setzer remains my favourite guitarist of all time. They are also unique in being one of the few bands that the drummer stands up and a double bass is used. Slim always manages to get a big sound from so very few drums. Often just the bass & snare, with a couple of cymbals.
Enjoy........
