I'm sorry I don't listen to anything that's not in english unless it's Magma. If it was in english though then it was definitely The King Will Come by Wishbone Ash.

To respond to the thread's title of "help", we all need some help sometimes. Some more than others it seems. ;)

Hi,

I'm disappointed ... it wasn't the 1920 Fruitgum Company!

You would think that, but I said exactly several years.. in other words 1976. And then I said maybe a prog element, maybe not. Which at that point could only mean 'Take Any Road' by the legendary Dutch band Alquin. I'm surprised only one poster was able to figure it out.

This song, Take Any Road, sounds more or less as if Stephen Stills has just crossed the borders of the prog realm:


 

Indeed, the only song it could possibly be. Good job and thanks a lot. Thank you to everyone.

If it is not this one (which I can hardly imagine), I think it's nice to have heard this .
