Well, I'm a classics fan and I think these should be played on the classic rock stations more often than they are, which is not much.
SMOKE FROM A DISTANT FIRE- Sanford-Townsend Band (my favorite song!)
THE VOICE- Moody Blues
CONQUISTADOR- Procol Harum
DRIVER'S SEAT- Sniff 'N The Tears
THE STORY IN YOUR EYES- Moody Blues
Sorry, I didn't know specifically what "hit" indicated.. only one of these were top 10 but they were all in the low top 20's or higher.  Anyways..

Name 5 songs that were 2 words long, with each word starting with the same letter.  Example: Black Betty- Ram Jam
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

"Black Bird" - The Beautiful Girls
"Bye, Bye" - Marcy Playground
"Double Dutch" - Malcolm McLaren

Next: GIMME FIVE songs that have a movie title in the lyrics
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
