I also want to learn what you found so disappointing. What songs did they play?

However, the song didn't grab me or move me as much as my current favorite Polvo song, "Time isn't on my side" from the 1993 album "Today's Active Lifestyles," a song I prefer because I feel it has more sweetness, zip, and jangle than "Beggar's Bowl."

I've been meaning to listen to more Polvo, since the few songs I have heard make me curious about their others. What are other people's favorite Polvo songs?

Polvo - "Time isn't on my side"



EDIT: I just listened to the following song, which has a meaning that I like although the sound doesn't do as much for me as "Time isn't on my side":

Polvo - "Taste of your mind"
