Ten Years After has many terrific songs with electrifying musicianship, I'd Love To Change The World was the most popular. If you've never checked out their album, Cricklewood Green, I think it's even better than A Space In Time.

That's true and there are plenty of bands guilty of that, but I fail to see the relevance here. Alvin Lee played well both slowly and quickly and one only has to listen to I'd Love To Change The World to hear it. The acoustic parts are just as well played and brilliant as the electric parts and the slow parts are as evocative as the quick ones. No random flailing there, the notes are chosen carefully.

Another great song by Ten Years After from their Live At The Fillmore album. The now late great Alvin Lee really cuts loose vocally and on guitar in this one, the whole thing is like a rolling freight train. "Take me home, babe!" The studio version is on Cricklewood Green, one of their best albums for my taste.
