Thats a good point, Nantucket Sleighride was a bit progressive. I think Theme for Imaginary Western was too. With me the biggest point that is ignored or given less than enough recognition is how important the entire band, Mountain, was in bringing hardrock to peoples attention. Even I almost always forget to mention them, hell they were kickin ass and rockin hard in 1970-71 right along side the rest of them that always get mentioned. Felix Pappalardi was a great bass player and producer too. But yes, Leslie was RAW guitar in your face.
