Despite what many may think about 70s progressive rock, there exists in this fertile crevasse of tempo changes and colorful stretch pants the possibility for obvious jams.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but one of the hallmarks of prog-rock was how it teetered on that fine edge between the unpredictable progressions of jazz and the accessible power chords of mainstream rock. Rick Wakemen couldn't really maintain this all-encompassing truth, nor could King Crimson successfully bridge this divide for very long.
And though this group was certainly light on the 'hits', the Edgar Winter group did make one important contribution to the golden age of music that was the 70s: Frankenstein.
Btdubs...Edgar Winters was not an albino, though he is a Scientologist. In fact, Winter's Mission Earth was written by L. Ron Hubbard himself! Read the wikipedia...it's bananas.
