"You" is def a highlight of that pre-Bends era.....they sounded like they were getting close to all the American bands they aped for Pablo

Didn't vote in this, but would definitely have voted for 'Cannonball', because it's perfect!

Both "Let Love Rule" and "Are You Gonna Go My Way" would arguably be above median on this list, though of course as this kind of pastiche goes they are both crushed by Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend"

I actually like more Lenny Kravitz singles than I think I do - "Believe" is kinda cool, and yeah "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" came on in the drug store a while back and I was really digging it, like what is this smooth grownup R&B jam, must be some 80s classic I don't know. I also always was weirdly into "Black Velveteen" though it's basically a different kind of pure cheeseball hipness attempt. Forgot all about "If You Can't Say No." Obviously once "Fly Away" dropped everything else he might have achieved was pretty much blotted out, but looking at his discography on Wiki I'm stunned to realize how many records dude actually put out. Including a single from a KISS tribute album - uh oh.

"Mr. Cab Driver" was a great record in my book. Sounds like Jonathan Richman guitar.
