    "Psycho Reaction" doesn't get played on oldies radio as often as it should. And IIRC, Byrne wrote the B-side, "They're Gonna Get You"...a fond farewell to 1/5 of the band that made this powerful 45 happen.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Now don't get all record-collectorish and start running that old raers-better-than-hits game...that line of jive has gotta go. You're right, there are other cool songs on that LP ("Peace Of Mind" is pure fire). Not arguing, but don't go underestimating the cut that made 'em famous. "Psychotic Reaction" deserved to be a hit.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Oh i wasn't at all. I just really loved that album. Thought that was a great single or whatever but the album was just very solid all the way through.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21You're right, specially at a time when a lot of bands were filling out their albums with tepid "jukebox" covers of other people's songs. It's cool that the Count Five didn't go that route.
