Deep album cuts you still like to hear

25 years or so, radio used to play album tracks besides just the "hit". Name some you haven't heard in a good while that occasionally come back to mind and you think, "wow, I haven't heard that in a long time!" Here's a few:

"City to City" - Gerry Rafferty
"Day After Day (The Show Must Go On)" - Alan Parsons Project
"The Sad Cafe" - Eagles
"Holiday" Nazareth
"Wouldn't It Be Good" Nik Kershaw (early 80's)
"Who's Behind The Door" Zebra
"I'm Mandy, Fly Me" 10cc
"Both Ends Burning" Roxy Music
"Night In The City" ELO
"Champagne Jam" ARS

I could do this a while...and I'll probably come back and add some.

 

Day of the Eagle: Robin Trower

Love You To: The Beatles

Bold as Love: Jimi

 

I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
Where to Now, St. Peter? - Elton John
Elderberry Wine - Elton John
The Ark - Gerry Rafferty

 

Devil's Bite - Todd R. (Not that they play the "hit" much either.)

 

Creedence- "Feelin' Blue"
Squeeze- "In Quintessence"
Beach Boys- "Let The Wind Blow"
Pete Townshend- "I Am An Animal"

 

BTO's Blue Collar. Sadly, just a sampling of what Randy Bachman was capable of that was never to be repeated.

 

I Can Feel Him in the Morning-Grand Funk
DOA and Fancy Space Odyssey-Bloodrock

 

From around the same period, as those...

13 Questions - Seatrain

Evil Woman - Crow (not the Santana song - this is more an obscure AM hit than an album cut)

Get It On - Chase

One Fine Morning - Lighthouse

 

Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John

Pathway To Glory - Loggins & Messina

I love all of these, I was wondering if ther were any Crow fans out there. I really loved their stuff.

 

"Dialogues (Pt. I and II)" and "I'm A Man"-Chicago
"Home and Dry"-Gerry Rafferty
"I'll Turn To Stone"-The Four Tops
"Connie-O"-The 4 Seasons
"The Happening"-The Supremes

Admittedly, I think these were all singles, either edited A-sides or B-sides, but you never hear them on the radio anymore, do you?

 

Heard "Xanadu" by Rush last week on the local Classic Rock radio station in NY.

Thats pretty deep!!

 

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Father Of Day Father Of Night
Genesis - Cinema Show
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Take A Pebble
Status Quo - Softer Ride
James Gang - Alexis
Wishboe Ash - FUBB
Stampeders - Ride In The Wind
REO Speedwagon - Being Kind Can Hurt Someone Sometimes
Tommy Bolin - Savanah Woman
Nektar - Remember The Future
Triumvirat - March To The Eternal City
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - Bumpin On Sunset
Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized
Moddy Blues - Isn't Life Strange
Rare Bird - As Your Mind Flies By , Sympathy

I could go on forever

 

Sad that there is virtually nothing out on CD by these guys...

Three studio albums, one greatest hits package, and one solo by David Wagner and nothing in print today.

I do have the "Evil Woman-The Best of Crow" Cd that was released by KTel in '92. Decent sound and very nice 8 page booklet. Must have been somebody's labor of love...I'm sure it didn't move many copies.

 

Entire albums
Grand Funk - Survival
Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House (one of my favorites accidentally bought it looking for "Oh Well")

 

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" - Stones
"The End" From Abby Road - Beatles
"Positively 4th. Street" - Dylan

 

For those in Canada or Buffalo it's fairly common, but for the rest of you........

Max Webster-Battlescar (featuring Geddy Lee of Rush)

 

Assuming we're discussing artists that otherwise get played a lot, I chose the following songs that are as good as anything the artist released, but for some reason don't get the attention they deserve, though they may not be obscure by any means:

The Cars - "It's All I Can Do" (from CANDY O)

Fleetwood Mac - "One More Night" (from LIVE)

Marvin Gaye - "Anger" (from HERE, MY DEAR)

Led Zeppelin - "Gallows Pole" (from III)

Rolling Stones - "Dead Flowers" (from STICKY FINGERS)

Paul Simon - "Duncan" (from PAUL SIMON)

Bruce Springsteen - "Local Hero" (from BETTER DAYS)

Talking Heads - "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" from SPEAKING IN TONGUES

The Who - "Young Man Blues" (from LIVE AT LEEDS)

 

"Better By You Better Than Me"-Spooky Tooth

 

"Breakfast for Two" - Country Joe McDonald

"Valentine" - Nils Lofgrin

"Late Great Johnny Ace" - Paul Simon

"Harmony" - Elton John

"When You're A Free Man" - Moody Blues

"Love Comes to Everyone" - George Harrison

"Name of the Game" - Badfinger

"Pink Cadillac" - Bruce Springsteen

"You and I, Pt. II" - Fleetwood Mac

I swear Duncan hasn't gotten any airplay in this market since 1972.

Too good of a song to be forgotten.
