This is Rod Stewart, "Young Turks". I always think that it's name is young hearts, because that's the hit line in the song. Now thinking back, the other song was Forever Young and I can't believe that I didn't know that then.

Correct on both. Probably his 2 best songs, but I'm sure there would be some disagreements as to which were his 2 best.

That's them. For some reason, the 3 of them decided to name themselves after 2 characters from "Tintin." I imagined the 3 members of the Pizzicato Five did much the same. However, they actually started as 5, whereas the Thompson Twins started as more than 2, and both were famous with 3 members. Show business is strange.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

A shame. Some people (I would expect a lot) think this was his best song.

Seasons change with the scenery,
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

That is incorrect. But I find it hilarious that you think that.
Actually, technically, this is a showtune. But it got LOTS of mainstream airplay.

I thought it may be that song too WordWolfie. I couldn't get my head around cloister, instead all I heard was "the world's your oyster". Good job.

"I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?"

Who Are You? That's not a question, that's the name of the song by The Who.
I'm going.
Whatever happened to all this season's
Loser's of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where' d they disappear
Then I woke up Mom and Dad
All rollin' on the couch
Rollin' numbers rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
