Mountain: The Best of Mountain [Windfall, 1973]
Mountain Climbing is the only album of theirs I've ever enjoyed even momentarily. This selects all of its enjoyable tracks and adds relatively classy filler like "Nantucket Sleighride" (heavy-metal myth discovers America) and "The Animal Trainer and the Toad" (one of two songs on this record to mention Beethoven). So I guess it's better. But it's not that much better. C+
