 Topic: 'Worst' track on...In The Land Of Grey And Pink
Posted: October 12 2016 at 08:13 |
I like everything on this album - you should read my friend Sean Trane's review for an apt assessment - but I choose Golf Girl. The only other one that I might choose is "Love to Love you" but it fills a need on that album better than Golf Girl, and is so likeable besides.
While I can imagine someone choosing "Nine Fee Underground" even though I think it's great, I am having trouble understanding how Winter Wine could be the worst track in ANY competition, so maybe someone can explain  |

Just because some one says, or implies there is a bad track doesn't mean we have to fall into the trap. Excellent album.

It's between the opener and the closer and I really can't decide!

Golf Girl, closely followed by Love to Love You.

Exactly this, although I've never really understood the love for this album.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I guess its Love to Love You but its not awful or anything and I won't bother to vote. Still had I much rather they had included the stunning Frozen Rose - Don't Know Its Name (Alias The Word) over it.

Love to Love You, but I'm not crazy 'bout any of the first four tracks.

The whole first side is perfect, whimsical Canterbury platinum, even the much derided Love To Love You. Nine Feet Underground is also very good, but not perfect. It goes on a bit too long.

Nine Feet Underground, although not perfect either, is what makes this album worthwile.

Love to Love You belongs on their first album - it's that dated sounding.

Golf Girl wouldn't have made it onto a Bay City Rollers album....... it's that bad (IMHO).
I cringe every time I hear it.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I like love to love you. Golf girl is pretty cheesy though and I'd replace that with the awesome Frozen rose
|

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
