Yesterday is also the most covered Beatles tune of all-time. Were we all listening to the same radio station Sunday?

I read that in a book on the Beatles waaay back in the day. Always thought it was strange, and for that reason it stuck.

17. What was Aerosmith's first Number 1 hit in America?

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" - from the 'Armageddon' movie soundtrack, in 1998.

It also marked the longest time for a band to have one since their inception.

And was subsequently covered by an East Coast rap group and re-titled "I Don't Want to Miss Miss Thang".

Wait, I forgot, I made the "scroll-wheel list", so I should be good.

BTW, the answer was Mr. Cub for a looooooooooooooong time until those two roid freaks passed him up.

Tough question. It's gotta be someone who threw the ball a lot in his career. Jeff George had a few seasons of decent td/int ratio and he always had a shit load of attempts.

Jeff George?
