And if I were to pick a least favorite track on SMiLE, I guess it'd be... well if I were counting the Sessions box set, there are a bunch of snippets and such I'd pick but to me they're not really true SMiLE tracks, so my answer would be, as with Pet Sounds, nothing.

Grab the popcorn and debate, because this one is a doozy...
