Kudos to Fred Erickson and ParaMhor, both of whom had a jolly good stab at playing the guru with Sparks noms, but the tracks I’d have picked would have been Forever Young or Young Girls (sadly, the latter has not aged well since its release in 1980, on account of lyrics that would undoubtedly have seen Ron ‘cancelled’ had it been released within the last few years).
Guru’s Wildcard Picks:
Patience And Prudence – A Smile and a Ribbon
Sparks – Forever Young
