But if you don't like their more Rock n Roll-y stuff, I guess I can understand why you'd dislike them.
Rockaria! annoys me because I hate opera, and yer wan's voice puts my teeth on edge. Jungle is ok, but it's a little out of place I feel on OOTB.

Pet_Sounds started; you should get together with him and maybe collaborate.

As for Roll Over, well it is a cover (two really: Beethoven and Berry ) but yeah, Calling America will be in my top ten. Excellent song that shows them at close to their best.
