Had a thread like this before and nothing has changed for me, It's still the excellent *Blowin' Free* by Wishbone Ash, Gibson Flying V and Fender Stratocaster. Awesome Intro and Middle and the best absolute best guitar outro you will ever hear.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Great, seriously underrated band. The whole album ('Argus') is a real gem

I found this song randomly a while back and it starts like some pleasant innocuous ditty, at 2 minutes it's cantering up to a crescendo by around 3 minutes and by the end it's like some sort of epiphany and I don't even believe in that sort of thing - great tune

“Oh, west London …”
West London. Great tune but very dated and embarrassing lyrics. Sounds like something to amuse teenage boys. Not great listening for the increasing number of female fans .

My New Year’s resolution: learn how to express ‘irony’.

This is a high bar. I think a lot of these songs end up being the ones that threaten to eclipse an album.
The example I've been using of that for the last 3 or more decades is "...in much the same way as Mary's Prayer eclipsed the 'Meet Danny Wilson' album".
This one is a bit like that, and the album feels quite similar in a strange way. If you don't want to deal with the slightly distracting home video I'd just listen - 'I'm Still Trying' by Matthew Fowler.

I’m surprised the Beatles’ ‘A Day In The Life’ hasn’t been mentioned yet. Paul’s ‘middle’ bit certainly fits the bill (no idea if it’s a ‘middle eight’) and you can’t get more of a ‘crescendo’ than the orchestra going berserk at the end …

Nearly 11 minutes of it….
One of the bands I was in as a teenager used to rehearse every Monday night in Camelsdale village hall. Drums, bass, 2 guitarists (I was one of those). We kept auditioning singers but never found a good one. We only ever learnt to play 1 song which was Marquee Moon. We had all 10 minutes of it absolutely nailed but we never found a singer and never played a gig.

One little couplet that often enters my head is: “She was big, having a baby, She said are you hungry ? I said maybe” Gawd knows what song that's from - we haven't had a couplet thread for years.
