The great “Ghost Suite” was featured on the 1975 album Ghosts. The album spawned two singles, “Grace Darling” and “Lemon Pie,” which we would have liked to include on this list, but I guess we just did.

The Strawbs, “Part Of The Union,” enough said! Well, okay, just a little more. The classic Strawbs song “Part of the Union” was released on the album Bursting at the Seams in 1973.

It’s tough to pick a song at the number one position from a band that has been recording for close to fifty years. Nonetheless, that’s what makes these lists so much fun to do.
