Best acoustic piece under 2 minutes. Same rules as before - add a point each day to your favourite, deduct a point from your least favourite.
There are nine in total...(so far, anyway).
Who-Ha! Let's go!
Cheap Day Return (1.21) - 10 Wond'ring Aloud (1:53) - 10 Slipstream (1:13) - 10 Only Solitaire (1:28:) - 10 Just Trying to Be (1:36) - 10 Nursie (1:38) - 10 Grace (0:37) - 10 March the Mad Scientist (1:48) - 10 Set-Aside" (1:29) - 10

What if we just set these up as regular polls? We're not necessarily trying to find a loser, are we? And everybody'd only have to vote once? Or do we not want it to be over that quick?

I then, am summoned to perform the beheading of Grace. I will remain unaware whether it is my job to remove its remains from sight, or jam the severed head on a spike such as at Culloden Moor. Aye. As a son of Argyll in the Strathclyde I shall opt for the public display.

Now this is getting difficult. How can I deduct a point off any of these gems? Grace and Set-Aside are also gems. Some of these gems shine a little brighter than others I suppose...nevertheless, they are all gems.
nonrabbit, totally agree with you about Cheap Day Return. I love the subtle wind section in that song. Beautiful intro indeed. Those notes Ian plays at the start of the song - they are sort of like snare drum paradiddles only played on the guitar. Masterful guitar playing as always.
rebecca, i agree to an extent with what you wrote earlier. We are not trying to find a losing song. The reason I like these polls is that they make me think more about the songs on a daily basis instead of just voting once in a poll. I also like to see how this voting changes every day.
I think my vote today will go to Wond'ring Aloud. Slipstream loses a point. Slipstream is a great - however, as an isolated song...well, for me it doesn't shine as brightly as the other tunes. In the context of the Aqualung album the song works much better; coming after Hymn 43 and just before Locomotive Breath. Those drunken strings at the close of Slipstream are a great contrast to Locomotive Breath.
Only two of these songs made it to the Best Of Acoustic Jethro Tull album - Cheap Day Return and Wond'ring Aloud.
