- 3 is a Magic Number. Outstanding soft rock song, stands up well today

- Figure Eight. Hauntingly beautiful; I'd love to see a cover with Enya on vocals and Yo Yo Ma performing the minor chords on cello.

Have to agree with you on Figure Eight; it is positively haunting. Most beautiful of all, though, is the coda:
Place it on its side and it's the figure meaning INFINITY!
Thirty-five years later, that still floors me.

*No More Kings ("Oh they were missing Mother England" - very pretty piece of the song)
*My Hero Zero
*Preamble (In 8th grade, we learned the Constitution. On our Preamble quiz, I nailed it because I remembered this song, still do.)
*Conjunction Function (To this day, my sister remembers this one!)
*Elbow Room
*Verb: That's What's Happening
*Fireworks
*I'm Just a Bill'
*Mother Necessity
*Three is a Magic Number
*I Got Six
*Ready or Not, Here I Come
*The Shot Heard Round the World
*Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
