One for Rowan Williams, outgoing and first hippy Archbishop of Canterbury on the day his successor has been announced. Rowan Williams wrote the liner notes for their biography Be Glad and his favourite The Hedgehog's Song from their 1967 Album (and my favourite of theirs) The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of The Onion was one of his selections when he appeared on Desert Island Discs.
