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!
dz13, I never saw Romeo Void in concert. I caught the song years ago on one of the rock stations in the Bay Area. I bought the CD, and thought it was pretty good for an unknown group. You probably won't find them in Rolling Stone's Top 100. sokogear, One Trick Pony is a favorite, as well as Hearts and Bones. There is no question who the songwriter was in S&G. Good choice! |
@slantgut + 1 - recently got the box set of Electric Ladyland; I don't think I'd heard it since the early 70's, and I forgot how awesome that song (1983) was; Jimi's take on prog (before there was prog?)... That whole album is a masterwork. |
@larsman The box set was not on my radar, thanks for the heads up! |
