@thecarpathian - totally agree about 'Roland' - brilliant song!! I dunno about 'overlooked' though; seems like it's a lot of folks' favorite on there.. Of course, one could say that whole album was overlooked by too many people...
Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
Please share songs you love that get overlooked on classic albums that most consider among the best ever--for example, those that regularly appear on the Rolling Stone top 100 list. Last weekend I played "Hotel California" all the way through and was really digging "Try and Love Again". Can't get it out of my head. Oddly, a Randy Meisner tune with great bass guitar and unique bass drum work by Don Henley--pumping it twice rather than once not sure why. There is some really great stabbing guitar lines, awesome rhythm guitar licks and a nice lead guitar. As always, great harmony vocals to boot. A really great song that seems to fly under the radar because it is on an LP that has so many "hits" and really great songs.
Share yours!

@larsman , Very true! I suppose you can't really consider his 'Excitable Boy' album to be a rock classic either. Nonetheless, I'm with you- great song, great album. |
I came across a song recently by Electric Light Orchestra. It was in the movie American hustle. The song is called Long Black Road and allegedly it’s from a 2001 album called Zoom but it doesn’t show up on the track listings. I don’t know whether 2001 qualifies as “classic rock“, but the song definitely has a 1970s feel. On Apple Music it does show up on the Japan release version of this album, but I can’t find it anywhere else. It’s an awesome song. I was shocked that I had never heard it before. |
