I’m countering King Crimson’s magnificence with a surpringly beautiful song from the otherwise heavy metal Pantera.

“Planet Caravan”

Or the original by Black Sabbath, if you prefer.

Both beautiful...haunting...melancholic.

I saw Tull at Merriweather Post Pavilion with ELP and again with Procul Harum.

I bought the Pantera CD for that song! Hated the rest of the CD & I was actually in a heavy metal phase at the time. I had a Black Sabbath album in high school, but not the one with Planet Caravan. I prefer Pantera’s rendition & agree, haunting.

Same time frame (if memory serves), different sound:

Scratch the second song in my last post. Same band, same album, better song:
