“Salisbury” by Uriah Heep
Uriah Heep, also known as the beach boys of heavy metal is a hugely underappreciated band. Their album, Salisbury, was released in 1971 and the title song had a playtime of 16 minutes and 12 seconds. Mick Box, Paul Newton, and Ken Hensley were all credited with writing the lyrics of the song.

Like all other songs of the album, the song was a bit too multidirectional for the average listener, but for the obsessive followers of the rock band, it was a banger. The song and the album, in general, received mixed reviews from the critics.
