Driver's Seat - Sniff 'N' The Tears

Great late 70s song.  The chord progression is a rel-minor, 5,4 (e.g. Cmin, Bb, Ab) which is a staple of mine.  It's the hookiest progression in pop/rock.  The use of keyboards/synthesizers and their fusion with the guitar track, so that both are vital but neither dominates, is adept.  The understated vocal and the effects on the vocal track combine with the rest to make for one very atmospheric rock song, as well as an excellent driving song, of course.
