If I get the scoring system correctly it's 10 points a piece with an extra 2 for the best - and then adjustments here and there according to taste. Happy to throw a spanner in the works by scoring Fylingdale Flyer highest of all - there are reasons for this, mainly (a) that A is in my top 5 Tull LPs and Fylingdale Flyer definitely in my top 20 Tull songs; (b) the video is so (un?) intentionally hilarious that I love it and (c) that I've spent the last five years or so studying nuclear war planning (don't ask!) so it's a subject close to my heart. Plus I'm sure I used to have those same Y-fronts!
Moths and Heavy Horses score well for the homemade-ness and warmth of them. Dun Ringill for the gorgeous Skye landscape, ditto Said She Was ... ; TOTRARTYTD scores low as I've never been a fan of the song and Dave's out of time teacup movements irritate me every time. Sweet Dream - pfffff. Kissing Willie - dreadful.
Just to check - should Song For Jeffrey (Rock & Roll Circus) and the animated Solstice Bells promo not count also? Maybe not Jeffrey?

What we do on these polls (and there'll be more to follow) copy/paste the previous vote and add one point to your favourite and deduct one point for your least favourite. Only one post/vote per day.
I've copied the vote before yours again - you can have another go - we're good that way ;D
