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.

Almost everything by the Kinks is under the radar. Try This Time Tomorrow or Get Back In Line. 

Because Randy Meisner was the unsung hero of the band. His voice and bass were essential to their success. A beautiful song. 

Rolling Stones, "Sister Morphine" and  "Moonlight Mile" from Sticky Fingers.

Catch a good buzz,turn off the lights and enjoy. Hell,the entire album is a trip.

I have three:

The Shape I'm In - The Band

Industrial Disease - Dire Straits

Hotel California - Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
