"Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon" disqualified.

My pick:

"Out and In" (from To Our Children's Children's Children)

― Joe, Saturday, 27 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Love & Beauty','Another Morning','Ride my See Saw',I'll have to check out 'Out & In',it's easy to get lost with them as they've got such a large repertoire.

― Paul R, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Ride My See-Saw" or "I'm just a Singer in a Rock'n'Roll Band" (i think that's the title).

What about "The Voice" on LONG DISTANT VOYAGER (my sister had that record, I believe)?

― Alex in NYC, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Story In Your Eyes", at least its pace isn't crawling, and it's got some distortion in the guitars. Catchy, too!

― Matt Riedl (veal), Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Go Now...pop classic, I reckon.

Gemini Dream

― bris, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Really? "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n 'Roll Band" makes me giggle, as does "Ride My See-Saw" (though at least in a good way, for the latter).

― Joe, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with either "The Voice" or "Gemini Dream" too. Both are exceptionally cheese-tastic, but they still make me smile. (I mean, jeeze, "Gemini Dream" could have been a lot more rocking, but what the fuck were they thinking when they threw in the honky tonk piano?)

three years pass...

"To Share Our Love" off On the Threshold of a Dream. So inspirational and euphoric. And it's surprisingly funky.

Blue Guitar (on the Justin Hayward/John Lodge solo album)

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

The Story In Your Eyes, easy

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

"Question"

― Lotta Continua (Damian), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 17:05 (twenty years ago)

I'd go with "Question," too, if I only get one. But "Story in Your Eyes" and "Ride My See-Saw" are excellent.

― pleased to mitya (mitya), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

No doubt Question is great, as are all of their lead offs 68-71, and I almost went with Dear Diary for it's trippy vox and sheer flutiness, but Tuesday Afternoon it is, now that I've had a moment to sort this out.

three weeks pass...

"New Horizons" or "Your Wildest Dreams"

― Phoebe Sabbatini (Feebee), Saturday, 17 June 2006 08:56 (twenty years ago)

"Your Wildest Dreams"

― John Fredland (jfredland), Saturday, 17 June 2006 09:52 (twenty years ago)

I agree, "Your Wildest Dreams" tends to get unjustly dismissed or passed-over. "New Horizons" is quite fabulous; the very end with just the piano and the airy mellotron strings just socks me in the stomach each time...

― Joe (Joe), Saturday, 17 June 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

I might have been unoriginal and picked "Legend Of a Mind" (which is a great track too", but I choose "Melancholy Man"

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 17 June 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)

eleven years pass...

"after you came"

― reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 16:03 (nine years ago)

five months pass...

"are you sitting comfortably?"

― reggie (qualmsley), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 17:11 (eight years ago)
