I think this one fits ALL of the prerequisites to a tee!
It is a classic YES song, all but forgotten, unfortunately. There are only three known live recordings of this song, all done in the 1970s, and all bootleg. They haven't played live it since, which I believe is most unfortunate, since I believe it was their finest work. It's long, melodic, yet has jammin riffs, mind numbing harmonies, and unsurpassed guitar and keyboard passages. Definitely NOT top 40.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
