1. "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways
from THE RUNAWAYS (1976)

Is this the best opening track of a debut album of all time? Sure. Yeah. I think it might be. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change my mind.

NEW 📀 Vehicle - Ides Of March {1970} Stereo YouTube video by Smurfstools Oldies Music Time Machine

I was going to post something else but going with this one hit wonder from 1970. Ides of March also from Chicago tried to mimic the group Chicago’s sound.
