This is a band way ahead of its time both musically and lyrically.

Mark was a damn good vocalist. He had a voice with some gravel and guts and gave the band an edge it wouldn't have had otherwise. What was written for them musically was pretty lightweight but his vocals gave them a distinction that would have made most edgier bands proud to have had him as a front man. Kicks one of my all time favorite songs.

To my knowledge this was the first big anti-drug hit. Meanwhile in Oct. 2011, a Gallup poll stated, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans supported the legalization of marijuana. The times have certainly changed - and not always for the better.

Yes, this band should be in the RR HOF, without doubt. One of the great 60s bands, but also, somehow, largely forgotten. (Thanks YouTube.)
