Ha...always liked that Ummagumma track:
"Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion,
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my
Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

...and the wind cried back.

[In English] Thank you."

There are a bunch of great Moody Blues songs. Check out The Story in Your Eyes and the In The Beginning/Lovely to See You Again set.

[First Man:] I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

[Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

[First Man:] I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

[Gibson]

Despite it being so gay, one of my favorite songs of the period...that opening guitar lead is one of the most soulful ever.

Moody Blues - Knights in White Satin (because I like to think it's a song dedicated to the Klan)

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom..."

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Our House

Written by Graham Nash about cohabitating with Joni Mitchell...too bad they fought over the piano instead of co-writing songs.

[MsMojoRisin]

Pink Floyd - Shine On
The Doors - Wintertime Love, Flow River Flow, People are Strange... and more
David Bowie - See other.

OK... Intersteller overdrive, Wish you were here, Shine on Crazy Diamond(contained the very best saxaphone solo ever by Dick Perry) , Arnold Lane, Us and Them, Time, Money, Great Gig in the Sky, Echos, A gathering of several species of small furry animals..., Welcome to the machine, Free Four

ZZ Top: Its only love, Give me all your lovin'

David Bowie, Space Oddity, Ashes to Ashes, Starman, Sufferegette City, Life on Mars, Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs.

Jimi Hendrix, Machine Gun, Are you experienced, The Star Spangled Banner performmed live at Woodstock.

Elton John, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, Your Song, Guess thats why they call it the blues, Hercules, The (b-word) is back
