Hmm Benedictus beats pretty much any other song by any artist for me.

Benedictus is so magnificent, I cannot vote against it. But that riff on Down by the Sea is so epic as well, so I'm calling it a draw.

Benedictus is so lyrical both in terms of the words and music but I have to vote for the power of Down By the Sea.

Both great songs so a tie! Strawbs deserve more attention here IMO.

I completely agree. Let's do something about it.

It's not an easy task deciding between those two and the easiest way out is just picking the both option, but if I'll have to pick one I'll go with Benedictus, it has that easy going charm that I can't resist. What a beautiful song!

Benedictus.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
