Honorable mention to Making Plans for Nigel, No Thugs in Our House, and Senses Working Overtime.

As for a favorite, I find choosing between Dear God and The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead is a herculean task that will leave me second guessing whatever choice I make. So, I'm calling it a tie.

Holly up on Poppy.

I think Mayor of Simpleton, and whenever I hear the refrain, "Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton" I just don't know what to do. It is ridiculous and awesome and I would probably never come up with something like it.

I also have to pick two, not because I can't decide between them, but because of how they connect: "Ballet for a Rainy Day" and "1,000 Umbrellas."



Honorable mention to "The Wheel and the Maypole." I also love Niveous' pick of "Dear God." Can you believe they didn't even include that song on the first pressing of Skylarking?
