An astonishing mix of jazz, hard rock, and psychedelia from their debut in 1969- absolutely killer playing from all concerned. Yeah, I'd say lyrics like this from Peter Sinfield would be pretty good proof it belongs on this list:
Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
