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!
1 - Procol Harum - Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Salty Dog and Conquistador. Probably the best live recording ever!! 2 - John Mayall - Jazz Blues Fusion. Country Road. Another incredible live performance. 3 - Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams. Blue Bayou. Her cover of Blue Bayou is worth the price of the album. 4 - Johnny Winter - Progressive Blues Experiment. Tribute to Muddy. Texas blues at its finest. |
@sgreg1 With any type of best of lists your going to have some with extreme biases towards a specific genre. Here are some solid examples of a top 100 classic rock albums list. Most-Pink Floyd DSOTM Many-The Cars ST Some-Dire Straits Brothers In Arms Few-U2 Joshua Tree |
