It's hard for me to pick just one, but my favorite pick is Fleetwood Mac's song Station Man from the album Kiln House. That song's rolling twin guitars just hit me the right way. It has a JJ Cale type of vibe with a biting lead guitar. I have liked that song since I was in college in the mid seventies. I borrowed Kiln House from a room mate and never gave it back to him. Granted, I much prefer the earlier Peter Green Fleetwood Mac albums, but the Jeremy Spencer/Danny Kirwin era Fleetwood Mac created a some excellent songs on middling albums.
I am interested in learning what your favorites are.
Almost anything from Steely Dan but in answer to your query, hard to narrow down to one so here’s a random pick, from Caravan to Midnight by Robin Trower, I’m Out to get You. Nice little boogie!
This is basically the second Jeff Beck Group without Jeff. The first Hummingbird album was released in 75 while I was working at a record store and it has been a favorite ever since. This is the first song:
Kudos to UZJ100 for nominating McGuiness Flint’s - When I’m Dead and Gone. I found it on Qobuz and heard it for the first time since high school 1970! Unfortunately it became an earworm and I found myself humming the chorus all day until I went to sleep!
I noticed many songs described here were fodder back in the ‘underground’ FM radio days. Fascinating!
My contribution is The Sad Cafe (Not the Eagles version) by Holy Moses!! -Also on Qobuz
Here’s another obscure Fleetwood Mac song from the Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac. Like Crying might be an obscure song, but Peter Green is playing Greeny, one of the most famous guitars in Rock and Roll history.
How about Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band, Dare to Be Fat, You Broke My Mood Ring, Boogie Til You Puke. Great live band in the DC area years ago.
Also, Tonio K. just about anything off the album Life In the Food Chain but especially The Funky Western Civilization and H-A-T-R-E-D but the whole album is great.
I've got several that tie for favorite; Fire by Aurthur Brown (crazy world of Aurthur Brown) and Heavy Metal by Dan Felder. There are so many really good songs that still give me chills when I crank up the sound It's hard to choose.
