An odd array of tunes, but lately I've been digging Ladies of The Road the most of these. Like Easy Money, but with Mel Collins slipping in some extra sleaze on that voluptuous sax of his! ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

| I thought about adding "book of saturday" and a few others from the Bruford/Wetton era but ultimately decided not to stretch things out too much. I think the LTIA to Red era should have it's own separate poll. |

| Not a fan of any of these, but "I Talk to the Wind" would be the one I enjoy the most. |

| Aye, "Wind" for me as well. Lake's vocals are superb. |

| As much as I like "cat food" I voted for "I talk to the wind." I like breezy feel of it(pun intended). |

Cat food. It's fun and funky. A good little selection there. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Ladies of the Road for me, the only one of these I would truly enjoy when listening again. Though if Books of Saturdays was included, it would get my vote. ------------- |

I don't like Ladies of the Road that much, but the other three tracks are quite good. I Talk to the Wind gets my vote. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Starless. Oh, sorry, force of habit. Food? Wind? The lovely piece with the slightly silly title. Still not clear I see. The one from ITCOTCK. |

exactly my thoughts, with the addition that "Wind" is by far my favourite. It's an odd poll because Wind is the only one that's not very jazzy. Schizoid might have been a better choice from the first album, but it might have been even more of a front runner in this poll (or maybe not)

Indoor Games for me. Always loved every one of the shorter tracks on Lizard (was never convinced by the side long title 'suite' but I guess it's my loss) -------------

^You on to something there. The long suite seems to be from some other album. Not the go-to song when I'm listening to Lizard. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Ladies has a certain groove to it that makes me come back to it more than any other song on this list. That being said, they are all great songs. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |
