#54 - Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery

For prog rock peeps like myself, ELP is at the pinnacle of brilliance and this is a fantastic album. My father had this in his collection and I remember him listening to it often while wasted on various substances.

1973 for the win. All the best things were born that year.
 
Including my theme song

'Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the Sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the Sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Wooohoooooo
