Who compilation poll...of sorts...

[Chris Frate]

I was just re-reading this to see Scott's picks and noticed that Odds & Sods 
was excluded too. That isn't really a true compilation, because none of the 
tunes show up elsewhere, so I think you have to let that one in. Besides, 
you will cause grievous harm to everyone on the list because no one will get 
to pick their consensus all-time favorite song (which I alone seem to 
disagree with): "Naked Eye"!
