"Future Games" is the only one I'd ever listen to again.

Oh wait, "Hypnotized" is good too. I mistook it for "Emerald Eyes," possible because the titles rhyme, hah.

*possibly

Haha I love this poll. “Future Games” is beautiful, if maybe a bit too languorous. “Bermuda” seems to try too hard to write another “Hypnotized,” although I still like it. “Hypnotized “ it is.

oh man, my go-to here is "Hypnotized" but now I gotta re-listen to the other two

Still went with "Future Games" because of Danny Kirwan, but FWIW, here's the post-Welch lineup doing "Hypnotized":

Hypnotized is great, but this Future Games is all time.

I basically agree with Dan Peterson's take:

"Future Games" is a nice enough tune that starts losing its stuffing a quarter of the way through, though it's impressive that he was still a neophyte songwriter at the time.
"Hypnotized" has a great mysterioso atmosphere where the song and performances come together perfectly, you don't even have to have read or believe Castaneda to enjoy it.
"Bermuda Triangle" is an obvious carbon copy of "Hypnotized", it's like he decided going forward he'd get his lyric ideas from In Search Of. Undoubtedly he had songs entitled "Sasquatch" and "Killer Bees" in line for the next Mac album.

Hypnotized is the one

where is the thread for drummers/musicians making the face? because damn, 0:10 - 0:39 in the video just above is the platonic ideal of the face

we get that you are having sex with the idea of you playing on this tasty song, mick, but it's gone too far

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

“Bermuda Triangle” is still good imo, but then again it doesn’t really bother me that it’s hypnotized pt 2, I would have been fine with a full Welch album of that kind of stuff.
