Almost everything by the Kinks is under the radar. Try This Time Tomorrow or Get Back In Line.
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.

Want to just add one more group of classics (beyond the Kinks) and that is Pink Floyd. 2 albums that aren't really known that well (at least in my opinion) are Relics (which has early Syd stuff and showcases members such as Rick Wright) and The Valley Obscured by Clouds which was a soundtrack and an album (like Echoes) that showed the band was on its way to do DSOTM and more importantly, is Nick Mason's favorite Pink Floyd album. |
@tonykay I saw Romeo Void live back in the day and it was one of the best concerts I remember seeing. The guitar, bass and drums were just locked in and could create incredible tension just with dynamics since there really wasn't any solos played by the guitarist. |
