#1 is Waiting on a Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago.

For me, DeGuello was their last great album.

They often had live bands and if you didn't have money to pay the cover charge or you were underaged like I was, you could stand along the sides and dance. I didn't have good memories from this place mostly because I was too young and stuck on the outside, but I remember it well.

I just always loved the hook, and singing along to "IIII remember Ruby, She always dressed in red!"
