This week's Classic Rock Album was the great self-titled debut from Southern California's Ambrosia. Some progressive trivia for you: Alan Parsons engineered this album, and all four members of Ambrosia subsequently played on the first Alan Parsons Project LP 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Alan Poe'. Here's the opening cut from their 1975 prog-pop classic, featuring lyrics adapted from 'Cat's Cradle' by Kurt Vonnegut (it's an unofficial video from a fan... the only other video we could find had been shut down by idiot record company executives):
