On the other hand, I just had an 8:30 meeting cancelled, so I'm in earlier than I've been for a long time.

She comes down Yellow Mountain...on a cold Nebraska night.  Wait, there are mountains in Nebraska!?

BOS "Wildfire" anyway.

ELO's Fire On High gets HM from me, if only b/c it's the song they used to use on a ride at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester:  they put a "Scrambler" ride inside an inflatable dome, projected weird slides and graphics and played this song.   It was a trippy expereince for a 12 year old.

Bet there were any number of kids just a few years older than you were who thought it was even trippier than you did. But they had help. ;)

I'm so sorry to have missed that  -- and thrilled to see you both BOS it.  It shows up on many "Jukebox from Hell" lists and I've never understood why. It's clearly a song about death and loss; the symbolism is quite striking and beautifully rendered IMHO.
