Stone Cold Yesterday performed by The Connells ()
This is a fairly straight-ahead rocker with a well-defined beat, which some have called the Connells' best song.

Very inventive! It reminds me of the shorter guitar line that leads into the chorus on "Upside Down" from their previous LP "Fun and Games".
This LP seemed to see the band influenced by grunge and moving in a direction featuring a harder guitar sound, but I don't think it was an improvement at all, and I do have most of their CDs ... |
