Mystery Song Mania!!

Posted over 4 years ago
A few days back, Zenpop hit us with a mystery song post. I failed. http://mog.com/ZenPop/blog_post/120659I even have the song, knew I’d heard it, and still failed. But, it is a great idea to challenge the old synapsii like that. Oh well, onward and upward. In penance, I now offer up a mystery song of my own. Take a listen to this early 70s piano driven psych ballad. Who is it?I'll put the answer in comments - eventually

    scotfree says Clue #1 - it's *NOT* Albert Einstein, even though you did here the term "relativity" mentioned.

    scotfree says Hint #b - It's not Marc Bolan or any of The Popes, or any one else who might hang out in "the Bishop's room"

    scotfree says Cody, that is an absolutely hilarious comment, as I just read an interview on this band the other night. They once snuck into a concert where Soft Machine was the supporting band by claiming they were Soft Machine!!!

    scotfree says Alright, I've messed around long enough. The answer is *ALICE COOPER* !! That's right, same vocalist as in Zenpop's challenge. Thisone is from the original band's second lp "Easy Action"

    ZenPop says I didn't look, I swear... my guess would be either Mott The Hoople or The Kinks... I'm probably waaaaaaaaaay off.... ...now to take a look.... ....doh!.... ...ahh... revenge... a dish best served cold... I kept hearing a british accent... Nice one, Scotty!

    scotfree says Well, that second lp - Easy Action - is prior to them finding their shock value but post learning to play. Some real cool songs sandwiched between rather painful memories.

    poebegone says i was actually very surprised - it sounded like a lot of the proggish bands i dig from back in the '70s. i think i am checking out Easy Action, i am dying of curiosity for this side of AC i never saw before. IOU!
