Well, Mrs Poacher and I are going to get married very soon (it's a long story - don't ask). We are choosing music and we have to have one for going out of the ceremony. . . I am going to suggest this and see how it goes down with her. 

Any more good suggestions please PM me :)

  Perfect, considering I've heard "Crossroads" about a thousand times in my life and this only about twenty.

Add in "Nevermind" and "Stop Making Sense" and we're off!

{#Think}   {#Yes}  Add in a bit of the Black Keys signature crunch, driven guitar sound in this particular song, and bingo!  {#Roflol}

Nicely done.

OK, for my money, Little Hurricane's cover is more entertaining!  Thanks CC ;-)

I was watching an episode of Rescue Me and this song was used in a bar room scene, very effective I thought. Good series btw.
