Great song from a great album. Their 2nd release and it really showed that they all had a great deal of talent.

Ever hear of Hendrix and a group called the Beatles ? Ever listen to what Dylan put out in the 60's, or Zeppelin.If Rock music was a flower it bloomed in the 60's and was plasticized in the 70's and 80's.Mirror balls and disco just didn't qualify. |

Hey, Traffic is playing on KPIG right now! I couldn't figure out what station I was on for a second. Except I'm hearing "Light Up or Leave Me Alone". Funny. 40,000 Headmen is great too  |

I'm 45 and I still think it's crap. Never liked Traffic, but I did like Winwood's pop stuff in the 80's. Stick that in your bong and smoke it, hippie zealots! There was good music that came out of the 60s, but the stuff in the early 70's was the best. The folks with bell bottoms and wide lapels made a hell of a lot better music than the tie-dyed, flower children.  |

Thgese guys would disagree http://www.music-map.com/traffic.html In fact you'll find Bruce Hornsby on that list and you gave one of his songs a 9. |

And the elbows going flying up in defence of Traffic. LOL! Who said Canadian hockey players were the only ones who played rough? Great set Bill, all of it. |

This is an awesome band, song, genre. But it has a hint of Jethro Tull in it and it's not just the flute, its the whole mystery, travelling quality to it. Like venturing down an English road waiting to be ambushed by the local robbers. Traffic always created a great atmosphere to their tunes.

If you mean that your IQ has to be over 30, then yes. Sorry if that automatically rules you out. |
