I like the song too. To me, the crap tunes are Cruise Control, Only The Good Die Young and Come Undone.

What's wrong with Only The Good Die Young? Apart from the lyrics?!

Love and C'mon C'mon are my favorites. Sav is simultaneously the best and worst writer ever.

Only The Good Die Young strikes me as being very ordinary. A reasonable song, but nothing really that stands out about it

C'mon C'mon sounds like classic Def Leppard, which is why I don't think it fits too brilliantly on the album, which for the most part seems to be making more of a statement. I know you said that people don't listen to Leppard to hear meaningful songs, but I'd say that a lot of the other songs on the album are more ambitious than Nine Lives and C'mon C'mon, which is why I don't like that those two songs are pushed together

Those are horrible numbers, I hope you weren't posting them to further validate your point.

Damn the USA, that should be the chart number in the UK!

Not that growing up in a certain country should mean you should be more popular there but I just wanted to...err...add a new post to my post count?

Oh I didn't mean that; I meant if you equate "pointless" with "bad", I just can't imagine how you could like enough Leppard to consider yourself a fan.
