Clap and A Venture are the fillers here, still listenable songs though.

There's nothing "wrong" with it at all, it's just overshadowed by a whole load of brilliant songs.

A Venture would be the one I skip over the most.

I find it difficult to believe that The Clap could be in the running for any 'weakest' song list. It is one of Howe's best-ever guitar songs, an incredible display of guitar virtuosity, and I would have to say one of the best short songs on any album, period. So influential for many guitarists, and so original a style - it is the tune that really perked up listeners to Howe's unique talent. It provides a perfect break in between Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper.

Clap or the Clap/Strawbs or the Strawbs, what's the difference?

Hamill or Gilmoure is much more annoying afaic.

The Clap is an STD. Clap is a Steve Howe solo

This mistake has been made in far worse places than this forum.

I like The Clap, but the other ones are so much better I guess. It's a great album and it's hard to say that the clap is the weakest one, but it is.

Never been all that sold on I’ve Seen All Good People.

The Clap, on the other hand, is very catchy.

Probably have to go with A Venture. I don't hate it, just my least favorite track on one of my favorite albums.

I think "Clap" is great. "A Venture" has always felt unnecessary to me, though it's fine.

Venture blows. Clap is actually a challenge to play.
