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 - Procol Harum - Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Salty Dog and Conquistador. Probably the best live recording ever!!

2 - John Mayall - Jazz Blues Fusion.  Country Road. Another incredible live performance.

3 - Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams.  Blue Bayou.  Her cover of Blue Bayou is worth the price of the album.

4 - Johnny Winter - Progressive Blues Experiment.  Tribute to Muddy. Texas blues at its finest.
