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!

@thecarpathian - totally agree about 'Roland' - brilliant song!! I dunno about 'overlooked' though; seems like it's a lot of folks' favorite on there.. Of course, one could say that whole album was overlooked by too many people... 

Pink Floyd - Terminal Frost (Momentary Lapse of Reason)

Weezer - Island in the Sun

Buffalo Springfield - On My Way Home 

@larsman ,

Very true! I suppose you can't really consider his 'Excitable Boy' album to be a rock classic either. Nonetheless, I'm with you- great song, great album.
