I lOVE JUST ABOUT EVERY SONG ALREADY NOMINATED.

Sir Patrick being a big favourite, but for me its;

Bank of the sweet Primroses with Swarb singing.

And I in turn agree with your opening statement and also love the two songs you mentioned.

Far too many good ones to choose from. I'd happily vote for any and all nominated so far.
But , because it fits with the mood I'm in at the moment I'm going with  Genesis Hall

Funny. It's one of my least favourites.  Undecided it just drags on.
IMHO of course ...

Drags on?!?!?!  It's barely longer than two minutes, for God's sake!!   Shocked  

This coming from a woman who listens to prog albums by Genesis.  I'm gobsmacked.

I think you are going to find yourself alone on this one Bridgj. It is a much beloved cornerstone of the Fairport catalogue and a song of such lightness of touch that it floats on gossamer wings, passing briefly but enthrallingly like an iridescent damsel fly on a summer's day.

I'm far too much of a coward lady to type what I want to in response!  

I'm happy to be alone in this case. I see no point in saying I like it if I don't, however, I have just spent 30 minutes listening to various versions to make sure I'm not missing something vital.
And IMHO I'm not. Funny, though, as I love Sloth!

Love it! (Although I did first read it as "indecent mayfly")
