200 Lost Gems & Forgotten Diamonds:--> Pt 3
"Everybody should be able to make some music...That's the cosmic dance!"
~ Harold & Maude ~
This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" - part 3.
A reminder...songs will be from the 70s decade...but not exclusively. No ranking or countdown. Only a number to keep track of how far along I've gotten. I strongly encourage everyone to purchase the albums for an even better understanding.

Let's continue...
180:--> "Megalomania" - Black Sabbath / "Sabotage" (1975)
"Why don't you just get out of my life now?"
Great vocals & churning guitar, awesome tempo change midway, and some well-placed cowbell.
179:--> "Carried Away" - Crosby, Stills & Nash / "CSN" (1977)
"Moving through my changes as fast as I can."
Harmonies and reflection run through your mind long after. Their last truly great album.
178:--> "I'm Mandy Fly Me" - 10cc / "How Dare You" (1976)
177:--> "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be" - AC/DC / "Let There Be Rock (1977)
"Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot.
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not."
Not about "Hell" exactly, but simply a crappy relationship...with benefits! Infectious, of course.
176:--> "Forty-Five Hundred Times" - Status Quo / "Hello!" (1973)
"There's nobody on the end of my line
I'm in time but somebody's missing."
Blistering boogie rock at its finest and sure to improve a tepid mood.
175:--> "Captain Bobby Stout" - Jerry Hahn Brotherhood / "Jerry Hahn Brotherhood" (1970)
"When I first came down to Wichita town
I had a pocket full of Mexican smoke."
Good bluesy-jazz-rocker. Turn it up and go for a drive.
174:--> "Snow Blind' - Ace Frehley / "Ace Frehley" (1978)
"Lookin' out my window, sometimes I wonder.
Am I ever gonna get to where I'm gonna go home?"
The greatest from the solo bunch. Can't be replaced.
173:--> "Silver Shoes" - Wishbone Ash / "There's The Rub" (1974)
"Silver shoes and see-through blues
Hit me right between the eyes."
Opening track with jaw-dropping double guitar work.
172:--> "The Railroad" - Grand Funk / "We're An American Band" (1973)
"The railroad is a mighty good line.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time."
Pulls you closer and closer toward the speeding train. Don't stand on the tracks, my babies.
"I saw the day of the locust
at the time when that grasshopper flew."
Cosmic vocalist/guitarist Bob Welch..creating some deliciously nasty hard rock.
