Here's some obscurity, with a British flavor. Wishbone Ash never made it to the big time but this song just might jar a memory for some. They made up for their relatively weak vocals with raw guitar power.
Trivia time. King Crimson was probably best known for this song but lead singer John Wetton became famous for his vocals in a later group called Asia. In between he joined a neat little 3-man band called "UK" with virtuoso keyboardist Eddie Jobson.
Looking back it's amazing to see how many 60s and 70s rock groups were classically influenced (all those violin and piano lessons actually came in handy). Modern music doesn't seem to carry that influence anymore.
