There are some great classics that are a bit over hyped in my opinion, and I may get bashed for saying this - #40 - for one (I love it, but it gets too much hype for what a tiny song it really is)
But The Dreaming Tree deserves all of its hype. It is intricate and masterful. Everything from its composition, to the bass line, the drum work, the woodwinds, Dave’s guitar parts, the lyrics. It’s a wonderful and very progressive song. Maybe people who don’t see it aren’t into “prog” rock, but damn. To me this is the type of song that made me go “Okay, this band is deep. They are more than just some standard rock band.”
