Getting away from Skin Whitening - Monk rumbles - Attractive mates, Badgers, Gerbils, Pattaya/Nana Munching Habitats for awhile.....

With apologies to patsycat for the genre......

Everybody remembers Stairway to Heaven and seems to have it near the top of their list......with many others to chose from......

But there's a lot of hidden over looked/forgotten tunes out there that have the great, heavy rock beat, soulful lyrics, great intrumental solos that embody the true spirit of Rock & Roll........

I'm not a great Rod Stewert fan but this song checks all the boxes.....

Bob Seger has some great stuff too......Curious to see what others come up with....

The late great Link, RIP.

The most under rated band in the world ever, why this band isnt massive is beyond me.

Contains probably the best live ever,

"Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway"

Not in the 'great' category but I did enjoy their 'B' sides..

A classic in my book

LOL.

One of the first things I was taught, admit to nothing.

The guy has the talent and the licks, he makes the right noises, but sorry it dont float my boat, just another boring west coast hippy forever in the shadow of the Great Man.

Why eat a hamburger when you can eat a steak?

The only time Rod Stewart is ever heard in my humble abode.

Loggins & Messina Pathway to Glory (1973)

Linked to the boys above

To have an outstanding voice,:Joe Cocker, Paul Rodgers, Sandy Denny, etc, how blessed they are...., no need to learn the instrument, guitar, piano, in all its ways,..... just keep those vocal chords in good condition

No doubting this bands contribution to the British music scene:-

A couple of legends here:-

^^^^^^, massive likes, brilliant stuff
