Not to say I disagree, but I'd like to hear your take on this album.

That's one of those songs off of one of those albums that I have heard often enough for my lifetime.  Not trashing it.  It is what it is.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

How can it be that one of the greatest prog band ever do something like this?!

I love that song.
Me too.

Saying that I love that song is an understatement.

Last and by no means least, many prog fan's blinkered attitudes to music that lies outside the cramped cosmos of 'accredited' Prog.




I cringe at just the mention of Zappa's Joe's Garage-the others mentioned i have not actually heard, except Hawkwind, who are kind of hit or miss with me (i love Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music and In Search Of Space, but quite a few of the others  leave me cold)

I agree with Epping Forest. Terrible, terrible song. A skipper, but then again there are only three songs on Selling England I don't skip. (Dancing, I Know What I Like, The Cinema Show)

Most songs mentioned I can do without (with "Cat Food" the exception), but what is really a crime is to recycle riffs and ideas. Jon Anderson is a particular criminal with "Boundaries" on Animation essentially repeated as "Somehow, Someday" on Open Your Eyes and "O'er" on The Promise Ring. This is supposed to be progressive music?!
