were all iconic in different ways & oddly enough seemed spaced out over what felt like a full two year period which is why this album came out in '87 but was still selling like a new record in '89.

Some of the album cuts (Brownstone, My Michelle & Rocket Queen) felt familiar enough to be singles by the end of the run anyway because this album was so huge & had such staying power.

But I'd rather 'Rocket Queen' be what it was/is: the epic closer/fan favorite of a classic rock album.
