All too true. I don't know the entire album, but the 6th part of Eruption on Moving Waves is called Tommy here. This piece, actually the title track of Divergence, was written by Solution's Tom Barlage. According to Solution's website, Divergence was released in 1972, shortly after the Focus album. In this way, Focus owed some tribute to Solution.
interesting, i did not know about that-my lp copy of the Divergence album mentions the year 1971,but maybe that is mistaken
or, maybe recorded in 71 and not released until 72? at any rate, it is a really great record

Blame me, I put it in General because it had a Rod Stewart album My point being that prog and otherwise, many of these bands, and even ol' Rod, were just hitting on all cylinders during this era.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?

Keep 'em coming. The next year or two were no slouches either, for both progressive and rock in general, though I can't help but notice that The Who, The Stones, and Rod Stewart definitely fell off a bit That said, for Mahavishnu, ELP, Yes, Return To Forever...they wuz just getting started....

Yep a pretty good year. I graduated in 1976 and that year sucked for music. But I still like 1973 the best, objectively and all nostalgia aside. Just thought you might be interested.
I agree with the 1976 comment. Out class song for our Prom was the theme from Mahogany. YUCK!
