Golf Girl, closely followed by Love to Love You.

Love to Love You...

None of these strike me as inherently bad, but Love To Love You is my least favourite.

The Target I used to work in used to play Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me" as part of a horrendous playlist (also included Meghan Trainor) and I now have a sickening revulsion to anything even remotely similar to that song, and the title of Love to Love You kind of reminds me of it so...
Also LTLY is my least favorite song on the album anyway.
Awful songs heard on repeat in workplaces could be its own forum thread actually. I'm sure it's been done.

Love To Love You is unbearable; Golf Girl is rather nice.

LTLY is the obvious choice.

Love To Love You, even with its 7/8 timing. But, it's fun and doesn't spoil a superb album.

Nine Feet Underground.
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.

You're right, and this proves it beyond all doubt.

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.

Come on, guys! Nine Feet Underground is one of prog's best epics

Golf girl is the only false step on this one...

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.

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.

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.

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

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
