Terrific back catalog with lots and lots of great songs. So why nothing besides this song in the RP library? I like this tune, but will remain suspicious of others they've done. |

This band is not quite what they used to be. Giving this one a 5. Their older stuff is definitely worth checking out.

Sometime in the early 90's I went to see the Lemonheads during their It's a Shame About Ray tour and Sloan opened up. I don't remember much other than I had a great time at the concert, but it's weird seeing Sloan's name again. I haven't seen it since that show so I'm glad to see they are still at. Love the driving beat of this song! They're big in Canada, but have had a hard time breaking the US market. |

Even if this was/ is their only one to crack the surface of indifference out there, it is a monumentally rocking track, and I hold it worthy of worship!

They are of course pretty well known in Canada  for anyone wanting more I'd suggest their live Double CD, "4 Nights At the Palais Royale." Much better than a Royale with Cheese.  |

Well ozzie1313, it sounds like we got us a demographic going. I did my first marathon at 50, and now at 56 I'm also in my last semester of graduate school. And once again working away on a Saturday night to finish off a paper (grumble, gripe)... The only thing that keeps me groovin' through these papers is the cool beat of RP. Cheers |

Yes, love organs in rock. Add Traffic, the Allman Bros, Brian Auger, Deep Purple. This is great on first listen. Love the intro. 8 on first listen. |
