You're right, MikeW. I souldn't include Smokin In The Boys Room and still call it my "Favorites"... But that was certainly a "big" song. And these are just songs that made the Top 40! And there's tons of other great Top 40 songs from 1973, that I didn't think were really "hard rock"... (That's a hint for the rest of the week, by the way).
