All the posts list him just as a guitarist in the main headlines, which he was but it takes away abit form the fact he sang and wrote more songs than the others. Heneley's tribute about being the engine of the band was right on the money, it's shame all these top ten and top five lists are still mostly his big hit singles rather than rediscovering the other album cuts, surprised there hasn't been a solo top 10. If there was I would probably have it this way;
1.The one you love
2. Part of you Part of me
3. Let's Go Home
4. Lover's Moon
5. Sexy Girl
6. Smuggler's Blues
7. Let's Pretend we're Still in Love
8. Some Kind of Blue
9. I got Love
10. That Girl
Ah well just gripes sorry to be negative, today is the first day I feel more happy hearing his music, losing that sullen feeling, read a few good articles about people who knew as opposed to all the backhanded criticisms some of these obituary articles are.
Got a whole bunch of Glenn song title to describe my feelings now as well;
I'm Some Kind of Blue without Glenn
Keep on singing for the sake of a song after Glenn is gone etc.
