The classic-era lineup of the group was Leslie West on guitar, Felix Pappalardi on bass, Corky Laing on drums (the original drummer was N. D. Smart), and Steve Knight on piano and organ. West's raw vocals, Laing's flowing drumming, and Pappalardi's heavy but not overly imposing bass lines were the elements of Mountain's distinctive sound.
Mountain played at the Woodstock Festival but the band did not appear in the film of the event nor was it included on the first album. The group's first album, Climbing! was released in 1970 and featured the band's best-known song, "Mississippi Queen"; the song reached the middle of the top-40 charts and the album reached the top 20 on the US album charts.
The follow-up album Nantucket Sleighride (1971) also reached the top 20 on the US albums chart but failed to yield a hit single. (The title track from Nantucket Sleighride was used as the theme tune to the UK political and current affairs television program Weekend World, which was aired between 1972 and 1986). After these early releases the band continued to receive a certain measure of critical acclaim but never achieved great commercial success.
The band was inspired by legendary power trio Cream, which Pappalardi was an "unofficial" member of; he was featured heavily on Cream's second LP, Disraeli Gears. Following Mountain's initial breakup in 1972, West and Laing formed West, Bruce and Laing with Cream bassist Jack Bruce. They produced three albums.
In 1974 West and Pappalardi reformed Mountain with Allan Schwartzberg on drums and Robert Mann on keyboards. A tour yielded the live Twin Peaks followed by the studio album Avalanche, with Laing and rhythm guitarist David Perry, who as an African American was also credited for "added color." It was the last heard of from Mountain until the mid 1980s when West, sometimes with and sometimes without Laing, has worked under the name Mountain, New Mountain or the Leslie West Band.
On April 17, 1983 Gail Collins Pappalardi, Felix's wife and songwriting partner, shot him once in the neck in their fifth-floor East Side Manhattan apartment. He was pronounced dead at the scene and Gail was charged with second-degree murder, but acquitted. Richie Scarlet has taken over as bass player on the band's recent tours.

The lyrics of Mountain's song "Respect" carry a powerful message about the importance of respecting and nurturing children. The repetition of the phrase "Must respect the child" emphasizes the urgency and significance of this message. The lyrics suggest that abusing or manipulating children is against the natural order of things, as it goes against the creation of Jah (God). The song condemns violence towards children, stating that it is a tool of oppression and should not be tolerated. It expresses a determination to move forward and never return to a society that allows such violence.
The lyrics also touch upon the issue of gender inequality, specifically regarding the treatment of young girls. It highlights that Jah (God) has not given anyone the right to oppress or trample upon the dreams of little girls. The reference to Babylon is a metaphorical representation of corrupt systems or powers that try to suppress the hopes and voices of the voiceless. The lyrics call for unity and a refusal to compromise on the rights of children and vulnerable individuals.
Overall, the song "Respect" by Mountain advocates for a society that respects, nurtures, and protects children. It denounces violence, manipulation, and oppression, urging listeners to listen and learn before teaching. The lyrics urge for an end to corrupt systems and a shift towards a future culture of love, respect, and wisdom.

This is absolutely amazing!
Also, you can see other sentient rocks and such.
Also also, the story is loopable!
And amazingly as I noticed, at the start of the animation, you can see animals. Later, you’ll see fossils of the animals!
