Maybe this could become at least a semi-regular feature. Listing old songs you recently discovered and like! I know Dawn discovers a lot of songs on those TV music stations.
I have three to share below!
1. Tell All the People-Doors
I discovered this on the Legacy 2 disc set. What a good song! I'm not the biggest Doors fan, but I think I like this because it has the "typical" 60's sound, not Jim's way out there sound. I think it gets overlooked because it is on the unpopular Soft Parade album.
2. Sad Cafe-Eagles
Man, I had The Long Run for years on vinyl and never listened to this! The Timeless Rock station MAY have played this, but I really learned it from their 2 disc collection. Cool mellow tune.
3. Hang On to Your Life-Guess Who
Just discovered this over the weekend and inspired this post! On greatest hits where I know most songs, I tend to just listen to those. Well I hit Random on my player on Saturday and heard this one! That was the same way I discovered a cool Buckinghams song. Anyway, this one is awesome and I was so surprised to find out it was a single that just missed the top 40!

Anyway, this one is awesome and I was so surprised to find out it was a single that just missed the top 40! Great Idea  1.Tell All The People - I remember buying the cassette of Soft Parade back in the 80's (I have it on CD now as well) for two reasons 1. Because I didn't have it yet and 2. It was a very reasonable price - woo hoo! My cousin and I really dug this album at the time - and I still really enjoy it now:) 2. The Sad Cafe - Isn't that a great tune? I believe the first time I heard it was on the radio in the 80's ? Even though my brother bought the vinyl back in '79 /'80 - the only songs I paid attention to at that time were the hits. So I borrowed it from him and included it on a mix tape I was making at that time. 3. Hang on To Your Life - I remember my middle brother and my cousin playing the first best of collection of The Guess Who over and over when I was a kid - they wore it out big time! An excellent track from the guys and it gets alot of airplay here:) What best of CD do you have Adam? I have the 2 CD Set from '88 called Track Record - The Guess Who Collection .Which I think was also released in the U.S. |

Cool feature idea!
'Tell All the People' is one I'm not familiar with, but would like to check out. Unfortunately, the classic rock stations pretty much stick with the well-known songs, but I've heard a few lesser-known ones on the Music Choice channels.
'The Sad Cafe' is a great song, but for some reason, I didn't like it much when I first heard it, on their Greatest Hits Vol. 2, back in the mid 80s. It's really grown on me since then.
'Hang on to Your Life' - I can relate about the greatest hits collections! This group had some excellent songs that, like this one, should have done better chartwise than they did. This is on the Anthology I got for Christmas.

It's the one that came out in 99 and has a very young pic of the band on the front. It has 18 of their 21 Hot 100 hits. |

Neat feature.... Tell All The People - I don't like The Doors and even with your reccomendation I highly doubt I'd like it but I may check it out.  Sad Cafe - One of my faves from them actually. I always thought it was pretty popular back when The Long Run was released but I guess not. Hang On To Your Life - Hmmm...I don't know if I know this one. I have a GH collection from them but I don't think this is on it. |
