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!

I was listening to some Great White yesterday and "Rock ME" and "House of Broken Love" were very well recorded.

I guess with any Zeppelin song you could argue how "hidden" it is, but I think Fool In the Rain from In Through the Out Door is one of their best songs, especially for system demo. I can't vouch for the digital release, but on vinyl, it's a great, lively presentation.

@jwei. You nailed it...

A lot of the comments here sort of miss the mark though... naming things that were huge

Whoever mentioned The Kinks gets it but Eagles, Santana...  IDK, maybe it's just the differences in people's ages being revealed...
