This has been done quite a lot on the Beatles' Forum. So....what the heck....I'm into stealing ideas. What are your Top 10 Byrds Songs?
Here are mine:
The Obvious
1. MTM
2. TTT

OK, now that I have that out of the way...
5. The World Turns All Around Her
6. She Don't Care About Time
7. Positively 4th St.
8. You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
9. My Back Pages

4. Lady Friend
5. Tiffany Queen
6. Time Between
7. Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man

All but MTM are Byrd originals! I like many of their Dylan covers but favor their self penned stuff more.
