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!

Elton John- "Tumbleweed Connection"

Ten great classic songs. No throwaways. My favorites are "Where to now St. Peter?" and "Burn Down the Mission". I liked this album so much I sprang for the MFSL Ultradisc, many years ago.

Jethro Tull- "Thick as a Brick"

Just one long song, but definitely worth a listen if you aren't familiar with it.

Romeo Void’s album "warm in your coat". My favorite song is #7. "A Girl In Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing)" No political statement intended.

dz13,

I never saw Romeo Void in concert. I caught the song years ago on one of the rock stations in the Bay Area. I bought the CD, and thought it was pretty good for an unknown group. You probably won't find them in Rolling Stone's Top 100.

sokogear,

One Trick Pony is a favorite, as well as Hearts and Bones. There is no question who the songwriter was in S&G. Good choice!
