Mountain is an American rock band, popular in the early 1970s. The band broke up in 1972, reformed shortly thereafter, broke up soon after that, and now has begun touring again in recent years. Mountain remains popular in some circles despite having fallen out of the mainstream during the seventies. Mountain was influential during the development of hard rock, and their hit song "Mississippi Queen" became a radio hit and a hard rock classic. VH1 ranked Mountain as number 98 on its 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

Mountain is an American rock band mainly active in the early 1970s. The band still tours and had a number of UK and US dates scheduled in 2006. 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. Mountai
