Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums

I don't want to rain on the parade of enthusiastic posts here but this thread is a good example of why people should be a bit circumspect when coming here for advice on how to choose gear. As someone mentioned, the original post was pretty clear about the narrow range of LPs the recommendations should come from--just the top 100 or so classic rock and roll albums. The idea was to uncover some hidden gems on albums that many people own so they would be inspired to pull them out and have a listen to some classic rock favorites with an ear toward songs that don't often get air play on the radio. Instead folks just chimed in with random rock and roll songs (or albums, or bands) that they like, some of which are less well known. At the end of the day that's fine--I've enjoyed learning about a few tunes that I didn't know about before that I will look for next time I'm out at the record shop. But carry this mentality over to a post about recommendations for equipment and what we routinely see are folks who respond to very specific questions (such as: What are the best high efficiency floorstanders below $4K?) with a list of their own favorites which may or may not fall within the parameters of the post with speakers that are often well above the price point or that are bookshelf type or low sensitivity designs. Kinda makes for a lot of static that doesn't really help people get where they are trying to go. Again, thanks for the enthusiastic response and maybe try to keep your suggestions to songs that appear on the most popular classic rock LPs.

@dodgealum -- Thread drift is a fact of life in these modern times. Succumb to it. Revel in it. It doesn't hurt that loose fingers sometimes yield valuable insights.

Yeah, what @edcyn said!

No harm done and a lot of great song suggestions.

Everyone is as civil as can be and sharing some of their favorites.

A dandy of a thread!
