Both terrific songs. I have to say at this point in time, I'd rather
hear "Street Fighting Man" on the radio, though. Maybe it's partly
overexposure to the Beatles track, but I also think as a piece of
songwriting and as a recording, SFM was more progressive and continues
to be more interesting with its odd timings and instrumental textures.
Musically, Revolution is just early R&R on steroids, which isn't to
knock it - it's great stuff.
