Actually, it's "Journey of the Sorceror" From the Eagles' One of These Nights
album.

By the way, another heavily sf group I haven't heard mentioned is the group
Klaatu ... an obscure Canadian band which rocketed to sudden and brief
fame in the late seventies, after their first album, Klaatu, had sat on
shelves gathering dust for a year, when someone started a rumor that they
were the Beatles, secretly reunioned ... and which rocketed back to
obscurity when the rumor was discredited.  Actually, it was a really good
album.  Their second, Hope, was also reasonably good.  The third (and
as far as I know, the last) didn't quite make it, although it did have a
video for a while ...

One of their songs (Calling Occupants of Interstellar Craft, from the Klaatu
album) was later visciously mangled by Helen Reddy.  I think someone else
re-did it, too.

Most of the stuff on the first two albums which wasn't distinctly sf was
distinctly fantasy; with a few mundane items thrown in.
