It also represents my hair from then.

My opinion: James Blunt is underrated. He suffered from over exposure in the mid-aughts. The key however, listen in small doses.

I like both but Jerry Jeff's original is not as good as some of the covers.

I'm taking Brooks and Dunn because I saw them in concert and this song was breathtaking.

Day 20:

Emerson Lake and Palmer: From The Beginning

Yes: I've seen all good people

I've seen all good people... It's not even close. Nothing against the ELP song, but... Just say yes.

Day 20:

Emerson Lake and Palmer: From The Beginning

Yes: I've seen all good people

I'm getting old...er...
I've heard both of these songs on classic rock stations in 30 of our beautiful 50 states, and Canada too.
I said ELP. Then I listened to them back to back.

Yes gets my vote.

I am still undecided. This is a struggle for me. I like Prog Rock and these two were pioneers of that I will listen a few more times and see if one moves me more than the other.

From the beginning!
I remember it being one of my favorites when I was 18. Used to request it on the local radio station.
I think I was the only one to ever like Yes until I met someone in the Army who loved them. Both classics!

I find that hard to believe. Anyone who liked prog rock at the time certainly liked yes and that was the "new wave" of the seventies when punk was a bit too "punk" to catch on with anyone but, well, punks.

A lot of people say they liked punk at the time, but the best punk songs didn't become that popular until a few years after they were released.

For me I don't even remember them being taged as Prog Rock when they came out it was just rock. It was different the heavy keyboard play long, guitart and keyboard stints and switches in in the rythmn were not traditional. Accompany that with great lyrics and people either hated it or loved it. A lot of the songs were very long for traditional rock so people, mostly intellectually lazy people found it off putting.

What do you not believe?

Best kind of music to get baked and turn up the headphones back in those long Northern Vermont winters in the 80's.
