  1. High and Mighty

    High and Mighty is the ninth studio album released by British progressive rock band Uriah Heep. "High and Mighty" was the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist and founding member David Byron, who was subsequently fired due to his troubles with alcohol. The album was not terribly well-received, as stylistically it veers from the vein of experimental rock and ventures into slightly more mainstream territory, i.e. no overly lengthy compositions and a decided lack of songs dealing with fantastical subject matter. John Wetton and Ken Hensley share vocal duties on One Way or Another. The original vinyl release was a single sleeve, with the lyrics reproduced on the inner-liner.

    It seems high and mighty of the Huffington Post to decide who is and who isn't a real candidate when Donald Trump is leading in the Republican polls right now, they wouldn't have taken kindly if the rest of the media had treated Arianna Huffington's run for governor of California as a sideshow. I would say it's up to the voters to decide who is a real candidate and who is not.
