Sabbath's "Changes" was pretty uncharacteristic too...especially with its
mellotron string arrangement which gave it more of a "Nights In White Satin"
feel.
The Killer Dwarfs' "Doesn't Matter" was a Top40 hit here in Canada....nearly
won them a Juno Award but Jethro Tull took it for metal album that year (oh,
wait that was the Grammy's :-)
