a mellow-prog start with "Us & Them". Still can't believe this flopped as a single.

relatively rare Doobs, "Without You", and now the nice surprise of Seals & Crofts' "Hummingbird". (They belonged to a religion that believed hummingbirds were sacred, or something. Seriously!)

This is the first tangible thing I've ever learned about Ba'hai.

BOS, at any rate.  Just arrived - who/what is "Us & Them"?

No, that's "Tuesday's Gone."  I can't get with the message of "Simple Man," though it's not obnoxious like some of their other songs.

I'm largely indifferent to Floyd, and in any case only recognize a few of their songs by title.

I never knew.

"Us'n'Them", "You'n'Me" -- it's all good.  BOS2 Chicago.

"Saturday in the Park" wasn't exactly heavy metal.  ;)

But they were all over the map then.  From JYNM on, they were more or less a ballad machine (well, except "Street Player," but that didn't sell).

I'm going to forget that Uncle Kracker ever defiled this song.
