The first two songs are from the 1973 soundtrack for The Wicker Man composed by Paul Giovanni and the third is Wicker Man by Iron Maiden. Which gets your bonfire going the most?
I'm a folky at heart, and vote for "Willow's Song", which is one of the songs that made me fall in love with folk music as that film has been a fave of mine since I was a kid. I like "Gently Johnny" a lot too, and Iron Maiden's is fun, but I've always preferred more pastoral music to metal.
------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

"How a maid can milk a bull, And every stroke a bucketful."
I wasn't expecting much interest even though I know that there are some fans of the film here, but 'tis nice for me to see another vote for "Willow's Song". I find it beautiful, and there's more going on there than one may notice at first (especially if one is playing it through crappy computer speakers).

I enjoy all three songs and own both the OST and the Maiden album. I did vote for Willow's Song however and consider it to be a fave from the dark folk / prog folk genre.

I do love Willow's Song, but I cast the lone vote for Gently Johnny. I love the movie, in fact, it's an all-time favorite and so is the soundtrack. I have the DVD box and the s/t CD.
