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!

"Station Man" and "Tell Me All The Things You Do", on Mac's Kiln House album.

(this is a bit off topic but) I am listening to one of the many seventies rock albums that is a total gem beginning-to-end and never got the attention it should - and where not just a song or two flies under the radar:

Lone Star - same (1976)

Give it a listen if you enjoy classic rock!

Love this thread and thanks to whom ever posted about Bowie's "Cracked Actor".

Forgot how much I loved that song. There is an internet radio station called Desert Underground that plays obscure classic rock and came across a Tom Petty song worth mentioning. "Running Mans Bible".
