     Well, obviously I'm in agreement there.  Though I consider _Pieces,
Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones_ in the top three as well.  And as a major
Nezhead, I gotta support all those tracks like "You Told Me", "You Just May
Be the One", "Sunny Girlfriend" (or "Scroungy Girlfriend" on the live album
:) , "Salesman", "Circle Sky" ....

     _Head_.  Trouble covered "Porpoise Song".  Gary Ramon (Sundial)
covered "Circle Sky".  Frank Zappa appears briefly in it.  'Nuff said :)

    IMO, the show remains pretty good fun (I mean, _every_ 60s sitcom
reuses the same plot over and over again!) and certainly at the time it was
incredibly innovative in many ways.


Cheers,
Carl
