If it's SQ in rock you're after I was suppressed by "Melody" by the Stones on Black and Blue.
I also find Richey Balckmore's guitar work well recorded. He leaves lots of space between his notes which gives you a chance to peek behind the lead.
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 for the Kinks, 1966-70 +1 for the Band, The Shape I’m In, add Daniel and the Magic Harp Nilsson, Pandemonium Shadow Show (She Sang Hymns Out of Tune, 1941). Aerial Ballet (Good Old Desk, The Wailing of the Willow). Nilsson Schmilsson (everything, though Jump into the Fire may not be hidden) Yoko Ono, Run, Run, Run from Feeling the Space, which along with Approximately Infinite Universe and Fly include several hidden gems. Faces, Debris, Fly in the Ointment, Glad and Sorry West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, some disturbing themes and lyrics, but all three lps include genuine gems

@thecarpathian - totally agree about 'Roland' - brilliant song!! I dunno about 'overlooked' though; seems like it's a lot of folks' favorite on there.. Of course, one could say that whole album was overlooked by too many people... |
