What's So Great 'Bout "Close To The Edge?"

   I dunno, I used to love it, and then I stopped loving it. If only I remembered why I used to love it, I might be able to explain why it's great. Or maybe if I listened to it again. I had a bad experience last listen, which was like 2 years ago, but since then I've become significantly more accepting of all music, so I might "get" it more now. It's probably a great pop song first and foremost, which explains why I started hating it during my avant-garde/extreme metal phase. I'm vaguely recalling the melodies, and it sounds good inside my head, so I guess you just have to treat it like the 70's pop that it is, and not take it too seriously. Meticulously designed to be fun.
