"Music produces
a kind of pleasure
which human nature cannot do without."
~Confucius
This is simply a personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds...Classic Rock stations should add to their rotation.
Most from the 70s decade...but not exclusively.
There is no ranking or countdown. Only a number keeping track of how far along I've gotten.
I strongly encourage everyone to purchase the albums for an even better understanding.
Let's begin...
200:-->T. Rex -----------------"Rip Off" (3:40) --------------Electric Warrior (1971)
199:-->Rory Gallagher ---------"Shadow Play" (4:43) ---------Photo-Finish (1978)
Never heard any Rory? This one is a box of matches. Good stuff!
198:-->Steve Walsh -------"That's All Right" (5:23) ---------Schemer Dreamer (1980)
A rockin' boogie number that will keep your car running in a pinch.
197:-->Manfred Mann's Earth Band --"Crossfade" (3:38) -Nightingales and Bombers (1975)
Swirling prog jam. Still fresh and never boring.
196:-->King Crimson --"Pictures Of A City" (8:01)--In The Wake Of Poseidon (1970)
Struck from the same mold as "21st...Schizoid Man". "Pictures..." takes it a step further with one surprise after another. Fantastic!
195:-->Joe Jackson ------------"One More Time" (3:18) -----Look Sharp! (1979)
A terrific guitar-driven number. Wish Joe had done more of this stuff.
194:-->Sweet ----------------"Cockroach" (4:51) -----------Give Us A Wink (1976)
A little more heavy metal thunder from this glam-band.
193:-->Thin Lizzy --"The Hero & The Madman" (6:12)--Vagabonds/Western World (1973)

on the crowd from down below."
192:-->Molly Hatchet - "Fall Of The Peacemakers" (8:07) -No Guts... No Glory (1983)
This is lead singer Danny Joe Brown's...'Free Bird'. 3-guitar blitz. Powerful stuff!
191:-->Barclay James Harvest -----"In My Life" (4:41) --Time Honored Ghosts (1975)

Some were true and some were not what they seemed."
Opening guitar-laden track with a spiritual attitude. My first introduction.
Good stuff! To be continued...
