Jeff Beck plays on &#8220;Roger The Engineer.&#8221; I think this album had a few songs that were hits at the time. I&#8217;m guessing the one song people may recognize now is &#8220;Over, Under, Sideways, Down.&#8221; Last year I even heard it in an automaker&#8217;s ad for some new car, can&#8217;t remember which.
