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

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.

Can't Poll yet, but Golf Girl can be a little...goofy.

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.

Golf Girl, closely followed by Love to Love You.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

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

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

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
