Decades later, I'm still amazed. 1. The End 2. When The Musics Over 3. Waiting For The Sun 4. LA Woman 5. 5 to 1 Check out "Palace in the Canyon" - not the best quality on YouTube, but if you imagine it being studio-ized... man.   One of my favourites is Spanish Caravan, that wonderful Spanish flavour! based on "Asturias", a composition by Isaac Albeniz: though this composition sounds like it was written for the guitar it actually was originally a composition for piano. Albeniz tried to imitate a guitar though. I actually played it quite often. on the piano, that is

Annoyingly theatrical or not, they were brilliant at their craft) King Crimson, of course. And others that come really, really close...
