28. NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN-- Three Dog Night #5 A comment: Joined the Navy in 1978 and went on a Mediterranean cruise. Stopped in Roto, Spain. "Couple of us went into a bar for a beer and there's a jukebox and the first song out of it was "Never Been to Spain." What a great way to be 18 and in a foreign country for the first time." What a great memory.
27. FAMILY AFFAIR-- Sly & the Family Stone #1 Interracial psychedelic soul group from San Francisco.
26. *STAY WITH ME-- Faces #17 Recorded "Itchycoo Park" as Small Faces. Watching the video, I'd have to say Rod wasn't stage shy anymore.
