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!

Warren Zevon: "Desperados under the Eaves" - Warren Zevon

"Tenderness on the Block" - Excitable Boy

The Kinks: The entire Face to Face album gets overlooked compared to the Pye/Reprise albums that follow it, but it has always been my favorite.

Carly Simon: "Embrace Me, You Child" - No Secrets
