No Picture Average	#1 by Fig at Mar 14, 1972 at 12:06 AM EST
	Unbelievable song. I don't quite understand all the lyrics, but the song is inspiring. The instrumentation is amazing! The part where he sings "Out of the close and into the fire" - unbelievable.

No Picture Mike Average	#2 by Mike Fraguglia at May 30, 1982 at 5:24 AM EST
	This is depressing, but an awesome song.

No Picture Lex Average	#3 by Lex Nafrodosze at Jan 30, 1987 at 11:47 PM EST
	Navigating the windward passge. Go Fuck yourself, thats what it means. The song name means "navigating the ARSE"

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Beach at Jan 19, 1992 at 12:29 PM EST
