Mott the Hoople has a number of them. Right now I’m thinking of "Drivin’ Sister." Has almost every clique guitar riff in it and it is fun.
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!

@dayglow , You know threads always get a tad sidetracked (or a lot!) or stray from the precise meaning of the thread. Sometimes that's a bad thing, sometimes it's a harmless meandering off the designated path. This is harmless and it's bringing up a bunch of hidden gems that would not otherwise be mentioned. Hope all is well with you. |
