Banquet is the fourth album by progressive rock band Lucifer's Friend, released in 1974. By this time there was no heavy metal sound, it was now strictly progressive rock and a lot of jazz fusion. The song "Our World Is A Rock N' Roll Band" was the opening track on some versions (i.e. the U.S. version) of the original LP release, but the only CD releases to date do not include this track, which can instead be found as a bonus track on the Repertoire Records CD release of their self-titled debut.
