[edit] Adding lead vocal credits

I generally dislike splitting up the flow of the track listing with full-sized individual song notes, preferring to leave them to the end. There are very few album articles that have them, so I'm open-minded. I also prefer "vocal" to "vocals" in this context.

I have a few alternative ideas:

(1) No italics

  1. "Good Times Roll" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  2. "My Best Friend's Girl" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  3. "Just What I Needed" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Benjamin Orr

...

(2) Small Italics

  1. "Good Times Roll" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  2. "My Best Friend's Girl" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  3. "Just What I Needed" – 3:44
    • Lead vocal - Benjamin Orr

...

(3) Small italics in-line with the track

  1. "Good Times Roll" – 3:44 Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  2. "My Best Friend's Girl" – 3:44 Lead vocal - Ric Ocasek
  3. "Just What I Needed" – 3:44 Lead vocal - Benjamin Orr

...

(4) Song notes at the end, kept brief.

[edit] Track listing

  1. "Good Times Roll" – 3:44
  2. "My Best Friend's Girl" – 3:44
  3. "Just What I Needed" – 3:44

[edit] Song notes

  • Lead vocals all by Benjamin Orr, except Ric Ocasek on "Good Times Roll," "I'm in Touch With Your World," "Don't Cha Stop," "You're All I've Got Tonight."
  • The running time for "Moving in Stereo" mislabled on the CD jewel case as 5:15.

My preference would be for 3 or 4. Fantailfan 12:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding lead vocals credits (again)

Please do not change the article again without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit. --Fantailfan 14:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding lead vocals credits (third time)

You have again changed the article without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit again. --Fantailfan 14:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead vocal credit in track listing section again

You have again changed the article without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit again and requesting semi-protection. --Fantailfan 20:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I was looking up "Let the Good times roll" on Dogpile, and saw an ad for Bang Bus Girls, a pornographic site. What vile people are running the internet!? --66.218.12.196 01:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but Neil Diamond had nothing to do with this album. No, he did not sing or write the 9th song All Mixed Up ARCOINS 11:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
