Storyville-A Piece of Your Soul is really good to my ears, Don't Make Me Cry, Cynical, Share That Smile are standouts even thought the entire album is great.
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!

@charliech You got a couple of my favorites... Everything from Life's Rich Pageant. Truly majestic Rock and Roll. Cream's Swlabr. Clapton comes up with an A+ level lead guitar hook. |
+1 @hifiguy42 Absolutely love "Accidently Like a Martyr". @milo0812 "Night Train" is a great song and an equally great demonstration cut for percussion and high frequency response. Some really good tracks mentioned here--keep them coming. How about "Easy Wind" off Workingman's Dead or "You Tell Me" off Damn the Torpedos. Both classic albums and both excellent cuts that fly under the radar. |
