Re my list - I often have live versions I prefer to the studio track.

Twilight Zone before it was recorded and they had the final title:



With Radar Love, I like to watch their music video:



With Vanilla Queen, I like this video from Winterland, 1975:



I don't watch the horrible video for When The Lady Smiles, prefer this live performance in 1986:



For Back Home and Another 45 Miles, I like their promo films for TV:

This was #1 for 5 weeks in the Netherlands:



This peaked at #3 but was on the charts more than 2 months.



Peaked at #4, but spent 3 months on the charts:



Just A Little Bit Of Peace In My Heart is a great song, but the 1968 version was horribly overproduced and George didn't sing it well. It was still a big hit, and a concert staple for decades. I greatly prefer this 2018 version, by George's supergroup trio, Vreemde Kostgangers.



Turn The World Around was another top 10 hit, but I don't like the music video. I do like this 1993 performance.



Just Like Vince Taylor rocked so much harder live than on the studio track...



And those covers were so good...
