A very valid assessment. My own opinion has long been that the claim to the title of "most underrated rock guitarist" is a tie between Billy Duffy of The Cult and Ian Thornley of Big Wreck. I’ll make *no* claims here that either of them are the _best,_ just the most _underrated._ However, I have to admit that I had never previously considered Alvin Lee as one who would also fit that same bill. Because he’s just *so damned talented and/or skilled,* it never occurred to me that he could be underrated. I realize now, though, that the very same principle applies to Ian Thornley, so while I still hold on-narrowly-to my Duffy/Thornley claim, I definitely agree that Alvin Lee is a strong contender as well.

For this song, the feel of its music and the musicianship that produced it is what makes it one of the highlights of its era. I always took the lyrics as different voices listing an array of the day's problems and the message is a lament that each of us shrug our shoulders saying "don't know what to do". So the problems don't get tackled and, years later, we have the same problems getting worse. The beauty of good lyrics is that each of us can interpret in our own way.

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. And the lyrics are a bit of a mystery. People hear things that make them uncomfortable, but it seems like he's not supporting anything suggested. For example, was he advocating taxing the rich to feed the poor until there are no rich left? Some people will find that line threatening. Yet, he doesn't actually seem to be supporting that idea. After all, when he said that, he had just questioned the sanity of the ideas/world. And, later, he proposes one solution as ending the war between different groups, including the war between the rich and the poor. So, to me, I hear him throwing out a lot of ideas that people propose, calling them crazy, and suggesting instead something like love, peace, cooperation, etc., while remaining humble about the best concrete approach to implementing that. But what do I know? haha Regardless, the 'sound of the song', like you said, is incredible.
