Not too surprising, I guess. Compelling jams seem to flow more readily (though not always) from simpler song forms (Tweezer, Gin, Simple, Ghost, Mike's, Jim, Piper, Twist) than those with complex composed sections (Reba, Melt, Hood, Stash, Slave, etc.), the Providence Bowie and Albany YEM notwithstanding.
Anyway, great stuff, @therealburnham. (Curious: did the Coventry Melt rank anywhere?)
