Easybeats part two the later years

You can pick up to ten of your favourites. Some songs exist in various versions these are not specified here. So if you pick a title it doesn't matter what version it is that you prefer it's all about the song title.

Thanks to anyone for voting....It's So Easy

I like "Land Of Make Believe" except for the ending which reminds me of something from the Sound Of Music.
Of their later stuff, my favorite is the first side of the Vigil LP. Every track is pretty good and rocks, in a Small Faces R&B sort of way. Unfortunately on side two, they veer into Bee Gees imitation territory ("Hello How Are You"). At other times in their later days they sounded a lot like mid-period Kinks ("Peter"), and sometimes like Beatles white album rejects ("We'll Make It Together").

One thing I'll say about the Easybeats in their later years, is they usually had great taste in the bands they copied. Obviously the Beatles was one. The other influences - Small Faces, Kinks, Who - possibly because of the Easybeats' connection with Shel Talmy?

Do You Have a Soul being dedicated to Talmy...
Plus Steve Marriott on backing vocals on Good Times, awesome song
