Black sheep of an excellent album otherwise

Also "More Fool Me" which doesn't really fit between 2 epic prog tracks imo.   btw - the Steve Howe guitar instrumental on The Yes Album is supposed to be called "Clap", not "The Clap". Oh my god! Another sorehead!

Spock's Beard's Snow a two-disc masterpiece but one track is really hard for me to get through.  Looking For Answers.

Eureka! That´s it!

there are no"facultative" tracks on albums for me, just as I don't look at three quarters of a painting or watch three quarters of a movie. "I don'#t like the way da Vinci painted the hands of the Mona Lisa, so I never look at them". nonsense. an album is a work of art; to fully get its meaning you have to listen to it in full, so I never  skip anything

I do believe he threw a racial slur at you there, Snow Dog.



Sir Gandalf, I like the idea of your thread, but your insults towards others do nothing to help your arguments. Were I to pick "black sheep" the most obvious that come to mind are

Yellow Submarine from Beatles - Revolver
Octopus's Garden from Beatles - Abbey Road

and that's for silliness among some of the band's most accomplished works... same works for

I Think I'm Going Bald from Rush - Caress Of Steel

^^^ On the original vinyl "Her Majesty" was an unlisted, hidden track. Don't like it? Just uncheck it from your iTunes

There's a "Stop" button

well then don't discount "hidden tracks"
