Selfish, I know. When I hear Pictures Of You, I want to remember seeing The Cure play it in 1989 at a great concert. I don't want to think about printers. My rational brain can tell the difference between the two events, of course, but now there's a memory of a concert, and the memory of a commercial. I didn't want that in there. I'm sure a lot of Stones fans don't want to think about Windows 95 when they hear Start Me Up.
