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!
@dayglow , You know threads always get a tad sidetracked (or a lot!) or stray from the precise meaning of the thread. Sometimes that's a bad thing, sometimes it's a harmless meandering off the designated path. This is harmless and it's bringing up a bunch of hidden gems that would not otherwise be mentioned. Hope all is well with you. |
