OK moving on to shorter tracks (< ~6 min.) with ON in the middle of the title. There are enough in my library for four polls, but I really only want to do one more for the ON middling, so for the most part I've focused on the well-known and/or proggiest tracks. Again, MULTIPLE IS ON, so select any and all you like. Sorry if one or some of your faves didn't make the
cut (can't include them all), but just click the 'other' option and comment on any others you
really like. FYI: here are some of the other ones I considered here: Lay it On the Line - Triumph Frog On My Toe and Cloud On my Tongue - Tori Amos (the first gets a vote from me) Hang On St. Christopher - Tom Waits A Dream Goes On Forever - Todd Rundgren Shadows On the Mountainside - The Tea Party All On a Sunday - Spock's Beard Man On The Silver Mountain - Rainbow Lazing On a Sunday Afternoon - Queen Hanging On a String - Psychotic Waltz Banking On A Myth - Andrew Bird (also gets a vote from me) Out On the Tiles - Led Zeppelin Wandering On The Milky Way - Jean Luc Ponty Turn it On Again/Hold On my Heart - Genesis ...and a few more (maybe need another poll?....Nah). ------------- Z |

Blood On The Rooftops, followed very closely by Running On Three. I also threw in a vote for Starlight On Seaweed because I appreciate the mention a lot and it's probably gonna get no votes from anyone else.

| The Doors in this poll, but I'm saving ELP's "Still You Turn Me On" for the poll when "On" is the last word in the song title. |

Yesterday I've heard Break On Through on the radio. This is my vote. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Surprising that Pink Floyd hasn't gotten any votes. Too short, I guess. ------------- Z |

True: cute and mysterious, but I thought at first I was listening to Thinking Plague. The style and vocals at the start seem similar. ------------- Z |

| Gone with Spock's this time... softened towards this album over the years; initially dismissed it a 'Beach Boys go Prog' when it first came out, but I tend to find much to enjoy when it gets a spin... |
