    I've always loved Again and Again and Again.

    It was a tough call between Don't Let It Bring You Down and Deliver Your Children.
    Ultimately I went with Don't Let It Bring You Down as it is a more complete song (Deliver Your Children starts out great, but it is clear they have no idea how to end it musically or lyrically).
    Looking at the results I can only conclude many voters have never heard LONDON TOWN as neither of these songs has many votes.
    (Children Children doesn't have many votes either, though that is not surprising as it is a pretty wimpy song).

    They’re all great, and I call “Time to Hide” for the easy popular vote.

    I went with “Children, Children.” It’s so fruity...and I mean that in the best possible way.

    Just saw Denny Laine this past week in Pittsburgh, highly recommend the show. It was fantastic.

  10. "I Lie Around" got my vote, because it had the least votes of my 3 absolute faves- all of which I love equally... onwards to the two others...

    Most Honorable Mention: "No Words" and "Again & Again & Again"

    Wish we could have voted for more than one!! "Time To Hide" & "The Note You Never Wrote" are both terrific too.

    I love all of those songs but Again And Again And Again is power pop perfection.

    "Again And Again And Again" for me is a highlight on a rather underrated record. I quite enjoy Back To The Egg, although I don't seem to be in the majority based on people I've spoken to. "Spirits" comes in at a close second.

    I voted for Spirits of Ancient Egypt as it's the only one I know.

    Like the previous poll on Denny's songs in Wings, this one again omits "Weep for Love" and "Send Me the Heart". The former would have been my choice. From this poll, the best song is "Don't Let It Bring You Down", but that isn't a Denny vocal, so I went for "Deliver Your Children".

    But none of the tracks come close to being bad, with the possible exception of "Picasso".

    I totally forgot about those songs but I would have put them in.

    Now I know for sure, it's I Would Only Smile.

    Can't hear Denny's vocal on Don't Let It Bring You Down — it's a news for me he is singing on it.

    All really great tunes and hard to pick just one, but I went with Again and Again and Again.

    Here’s a question, how would you sequence a ‘Denny Laine and Wings’ album using these tracks? I’ve added the two Japanese Tears songs for a total of 12 cuts.

    1. I lie Around

    2. I Would Only Smile

    3. No Words

    4. Picasso's Last Words

    5. Send Me the Heart

    6. Spirits of Ancient Egypt

    7. The Note You Never Wrote

    8. Time to Hide

    9. Children Children

    10. Deliver Your Children
    11. Weep for Love
    12. Again and Again and Again

    I LOVE "Time to Hide," and even got to tell Denny in person, but I am just loving "I Would Only Smile" and voted that. I think it's that good and absolutely would have held up to the McCartney songs on Red Rose Speedway.

    The two BOTR and WATSOS are my favorites, will pick Picasso and Time to Hide for the tie.

    The Note You Never Wrote--but that is as much for Jimmy's solo as Denny's vocal.
    I like almost all the songs a great deal (renewed appreciation for Picasso after I recently listened to BOTR on the way in from work). However, I just do not care for "Again And Again And Again". I always hated that "you don't wanna be the little woman" part--it just seemed to condescending to me.

    Your list looks chronological. But I think any album would need to start with Time To Hide, as that one rocks out. Then have Spirits of Ancient Egypt, another rocker, to open up side 2.
