I agree. I love the imagery of the lyrics and the music is way above awesome. Perfect. |

I was in high school when this came out. It fit in with all of the angst of those days. Kind of bittersweet.

Is it 2:30 pm on the west coast? It is! Every day at this time the music slows down right when I need to get some energy. Bill - is it nap time in Paradise? Please rev it back up, I'm struggling here.

I feel so honored to have grown up with music like this... It gave me an unfair music appreciation advantage over those exposed only to the likes of The Osmonds and Leo Sayer  |

Heavy metal goes to college. But still lovable anyway - not in the great sense but what a time it was. Days and tunes gone by....

Oh, yes, by all means, let's retire the old awesome tunes. They're old. And awesome.

Just knew he'd follow with Younger Brother. Love all the choral stuff. It's just so damned original.

A classic—but not particularly good. It sometimes was (still is) not hard to confuse Emerson Lake & Palmer with Yes with King Crimson with Mott the Hoople with...whomever else. All these prog rock jam bands spanned crap to gold. Shit makes me feel old, but I did enjoy listening to some of it back then. I can live without it now, tho.
