Shades of Gray (2007 Remaster)

YouTube
@jeridansky Easy to be Hard was the best song from Hair, hands down
@dave_heumann I'm also very fond of Good Morning Starshine — and I like the whole album — but I won't argue with Easy to be Hard being the best. 😀

@jeridansky That's a good one too, as is Let the Sunshine In/Age of Aquarius.

The reason Easy to be Hard has my vote is mostly because of the lyrical content. No other popular song of that era expressed that sentiment that I can think of.
