I don;t like Jimmy Buffet but this is as close as I've come. Levellers has that Scottish sound going which is right up my alley. Not sure how much I like the song per se but it gets my vote.
That is one dull Bruce track. That whole style of his is deadly dull, I can't even finish the track. Deep Purple is Blackmore ripping off his own riff but a solid track nonetheless and an easy winner for me.
