    No Led Zep "All of My Love". I'm heavy on ELP. If you don't like it EMFA.

    Got really fucked up in CDA and may have done coke with the bassist for Head East in the 80's

    At least he said he was the bassist for Head East.

    Life During Wartime was a good sleeper pick.

    I just went with my favorite song of the bunch.

    I always though Pete Townshend invent synths on rock records in 1971 with Who's Next. But Emmerson appears to have beat him to the punch on Lucky Man in 1970.

    The last 2 mins of Won't Get Fooled Again is the greatest 2 mins in the history of rock.

    Baba O' Reilly - The Who
    The ultimate stoner song making out in the van smoking weed and talking shit

    Would have gone Close to the Edge had it been an option. A few acid trips

    It's a good list considering the guitar hero mania of the era

    It is the power chord on top of the synth that makes Baba

    Early air guitar favorite

    I know ELP a lot better than Yes, so I played it safe with the obvious early synth hit.
