In no particular order, they are:

MTM
TTT
8 mi. hi
R and R Star
Renaissance Fair
Everybody's Been Burned
Mr. Spaceman
Why
Goin' Back
Lady Friend
Triad
Old John Robertson
Time Between
Girl with no name

I'm a big fan of Younger that Yesterday. It's my favorite Byrds album. I also like the guitars on Back From Rio, which is an underappreciated album.

Funny, I don't see any posts for Mind Gardens, the Lear Jet Song or CTA 102

I love all of the songs everyone mentioned especially "the world turns all around her".

So much so, that I even like pretty much dig all the versions on the Byrds Tribute "Time Between"!!! :mrgreen:

If this goes to 4pages + I may have to try to put together a RRF Compilation of a Byrds Tribute of our own!! :wink:
