Say there's a limit there, we can't POLL past that - The Byrds, Younger Than Yesterday

Maybe I haven't listened to "mind gardens" too closely... but I recall it just being an awesome tuneless haze of backwards guitars

You see, it's about minds...in gardens, get it?

wow I am consistent!

Euler’s constant

I love Mind Gardens! Don't really get the hate. Okay, maybe I do, it's probably the best example of Crosby's all-figured-out hippy soul poetry pretentiousness. But it still sounds great to me.

I'm not voting for it though. Having a hard time deciding which one to go for. I often think of 5D as their best, but this one probably is (and the next one's great as well) - and I'm saying that while I'm a massive Gene Clark fan.

Contenders: All four Hillman's songs (why did the OP only say "three great songs"?); CTA (McGuinn is my second fave Byrd after Clark after all); Everybody's Been Burned. Every song I didn't mention is great too!

The bonus tracks on this album are amazing: It Happens Each Day; Don't Make Waves; Lady Friend and Old John Robertson are all fantastic. The two alternate versions of album tracks are also really good - provided you actually like Mind Gardens.

I went with Time Between.

the best Byrds album. the best! has the same quicksilver amphetamine sound of blonde on blonde. I don't even mind the alien bit anymore, CTA is a great song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

*must ...pick...one*

i remember loving "Everybody's Been Burned" so that.

Time Between. Heaven in just under 2 minutes.

'Thoughts and Words', because I love its melody and descending chord progression and also backwards 12 string ftw.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

good winning choice

I think that maybe I'm dreaming becuz I'm having a hard time accepting that Renaissance Fair only got one stinkin' vote. It's the greatest song ever about Renassance Fairs.

the Renaissance song 'Trip To The Fair' is one of the best songs ever

but yeah point taken

unfair but at least it got something, "the girl with no name" wound up behind the challops vote :(

I feel sad for the girl with no name, also being the girl with no vote. It's a lovely song.
I like that someone voted for Mind Gardens.

"Lady Friend" (terrible title) is one of their greatest, I think.

"Don't Make Waves" is not as bad as Crosby said it was but neither is it a classic.

agree, it's not awful but it is completely disposable

I was the ren faire voter
