I first became aware of this song around 1975, when I was 14. I've listened to it ever since and it still sends chills down my spine. This song oozes emotion in every way possible: awesome melody, killer lyrics, Rod's raspy voice soulfully tugging at your heartstrings, great band, and, wow, the way that mandolin is layered on top of the suspended rhythm at the end is the perfect way to allow the listener to reflect upon the feelings he/she has lived in the previous 2 mins.
Maggie May show her age, but her song hasn't aged a day since the moment it was released.
