   My favorite is Ghosts, so that got my vote, but The River/Down by the Sea, and Autumn are also stellar.

	Good one, Steve! I'd never have thought of this poll/thread, but there are some great ones here! Picked "Ghosts" from my favorite Strawbs album.

	Very interesting and difficult poll. I think I'm going to choose an option that almost nobody will choose. So, "The Battle" it is.

	As a huge Strawbs fan, I could say "all of them", because they're all exceptional, but Down by the Sea is my choice. The opening guitar riff (copied by Bleak House on Rainbow Warrior, then by Metallica on Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is just awesome, as is the rest of the song.

	I don't know any of those songs, but I do know that Hero & Heroine is my favourite Strawbs album.
