Continuing ON with such prepositional madness: here are tunes from my library that begin with the word ON.

MULTIPLE IS  ON, ON, ON!  So choosing ALL of your favorites from the list is encouraged (not just one "winner"--these polls are really just for fun, discussion, and hopefully some discovery more than seeing which track will win).

Comment on any other ON tunes. Make sure your track BEGINS with "On..." (I'll probably do later polls with the word ON in the middle and/or end of the track title).

Here's a few (probably) lesser knowns from the list:
(Unfortunately couldn't find the Hugh Hopper tune, but I suppose many Soft Machine fans will know it)

I was On the Frontier of voting for Renaissance, but On Reflection I voted for On an Island with David Gilmour, although I'd sooner be On an Island with Enya in all honesty. Embarrassed

By the way, I can't believe I'm the first one to comment when sixteen votes have already been cast. Shocked

"On Green Dolphin Street" is a beautiful composition. I wasn't familiar yet with either version of it in this poll but I'm really digging Barbara Long's take on it. That's my favourite song here, but "On The Bus", "On Reflection", "On The Corner" and "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" get a vote from me as well.

Other ON songs that turn me ON are:
- Henry Cow - On The Raft
- Mahavishnu Orchestra - On The Way Home To Earth
- Tame Impala - On Track
- Wha-Ha-Ha - On The Floor

Adrian Belew's "On" from Op Zop Too Wah

also

The Bears "On" from Eureka

Same song.  Great song.  I like the Bears reworking of it better.  But all still the greatness of Adrian Belew.

Well, if that ain't just the perfect song name for this poll!  Clap
Wow, Belew grew his hair out (the only vids I've seen of him are with KC from the 80s)
