I guess I'm primarily reverting back to my phase of listening to non-stop "Classic Rock" and that's essentially what Santana is... A CLASSIC!

I selected "Santana III" because it contains my all-time favorite song by them "No One To Depend On", but the entire album comprises of an excellent flair of "psychadelia" with all the Latino mixture of sound which was really ahead of its time back then.....

Carlos Santana has to be among one of the most underrated guitarist of any era and the best line-up was the Woodstock era one which also consisted of then guitar prodigy Neal Schon and Gregg Rolle's masterful keyboard playing (both later figured prominently into the earlier greatness of Journey)...

Listening to "Santana III" makes one remember what "rock music" should be like and also makes you realize what a vital role they had in ushering a sound that still exist today.....

This album is from 1971. That is the year I was born. I suppose that means I didn't know that line my whole life. I may need to ask you about some Zeppelin lyrics. How much time you have?

To quote The Styx... "I have too much time on my hands" at the moment!
Which song in question?

Heartbreaker, I think. "With a purple operater and a fifth cent head?

I'll just post the entire song to play it safe!

Heartbreaker
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you.
I try to make love but it ain't no use.

Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.
