I rep hard for all of the quartet's original albums. And I unaccountably enjoy Pool It! even while acknowledging that (but also largely because) it's irredeemably awful.

Would have voted for "Pleasant Valley Sunday," which I'd easily take over "A Well Respected Man" or "Ballad of a Thin Man" or "Nowhere Man," but I also keep "The Door Into Summer" on my hard-drive.

Funny, I was just listening to this a couple of days ago. Was talking with a friend about the introductory guitar lead of "Pleasant Valley Sunday," which is just so sophisticated. Sort of a backwards "Paperback Writer."

I thought I read once that the riff actually WAS based on "Paperback Writer," but wiki says it was "I Want To Tell You."
