RE: 3 Stones albums/Harpsichord/Clavinet/Harmonium

Okay, so why is the Stones "Lady Jane" doing so well and tied for first place (at the moment) in the harpsichord poll? You can hardly even hear the harpsichord in that song! Are fans confusing Brian's wonderful slide dulcimer, the song's main instrument, for the harpsichord?? What else can it be, other than Keith's fine acoustic guitar, that's really the only 2 instruments you mainly hear in that song. The harpsichord can be heard a bit after the 2 minute mark, but not too much. BTW, I listed both Brian and Jack Nitzsche on harpsichord for the song on the list since they were both credited in the session logs, but only one of them actually played it on the final cut and it isn't known whom's playing was used on the final cut for sure (maybe because it's so hard to hear?).

My picks:

Stones 1: "Mona (I Need You Baby)", with "Off the Hook" a close second!

Stones 2: Let It Bleed!!!

Rock 1: Piggies by The Beatles with the harpsichord by Chris Thomas. I mean, IMO, it's light years better than any other choice listed, it made that song... other than "Karn Evil 9" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, with the harpsichord by Keith Emersom, which is almost as good (but the synthesizer on there gets in the way of it's sound, too).... BTW, about 2 weeks ago they played that song on SiriusXM and the deejay called it by the way it's spelled out, which gave me a good laugh! You'd think a top of the line deejay would know the song is pronounced as 'Carnival 9' (it's about a carnival show, after-all), and not as 'karn evil 9', LOL! But going back to my dj days, I do remember one or 2 people requesting the song and asking for 'karn evil 9'... but they weren't DJs and just didn't know.

Rock 2: Ringo's version, I would think of that song whenever me and the first wife would break up, which was often. With that said, the Def Leppard song was excellent too, exactly the feelings so many teenage boys go through.

Beatles: With the Beatles... I'm surprised on just how many votes YS gets each week as it is.
