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!

(this is a bit off topic but) I am listening to one of the many seventies rock albums that is a total gem beginning-to-end and never got the attention it should - and where not just a song or two flies under the radar:

Lone Star - same (1976)

Give it a listen if you enjoy classic rock!

Love this thread and thanks to whom ever posted about Bowie's "Cracked Actor".

Forgot how much I loved that song. There is an internet radio station called Desert Underground that plays obscure classic rock and came across a Tom Petty song worth mentioning. "Running Mans Bible".
