A Hollies track I was not familiar with, until I stumbled upon this video clip several months back. Kind of similiar to Long Cool Woman, I really like it! As always, solid drumming from the great Bobby Elliot!   It reached #24 in 1973. |

It combines the driving rock sound of Long Cool Woman with the more traditional Hollies' harmony - which is missing in Long Cool Woman. But I was suprised to see the song hit #24. I checked on Wiki. It was #24 in the UK, but didn't chart at all on this side of the Atlantic - Canada or US. It really shoud have! |

Here's a couple from The Moody Blues: Those seven (I think) concept albums (these songs are from Every Good Boy and Seventh Sojourn, aren't they?) that the Moodies put together are ones that I can listen to non stop, one after the other. In fact, I have. Yeah, they're referred to as the "Classic Seven". I have them all, but so far I'm only REALLY familiar with "Seventh Sojourn" and "Days Of Future Passed" (we had both on 8-track when I was growing up). "Seventh Sojourn" I've always liked a lot. "Days Of Future Passed" on the other hand, I have a tough time with. I think the concept is brilliant, but I don't think the material is that good. It seems like they had two really great songs (the two hits), a couple of mediocre ones, and filled in the rest with the orchestra. I just think that a concept album that takes you through the course of an average day could have been done better. |

I agree with Ed that it's a shame it wasn't a bigger hit outside of the UK. |

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything but a live performance of this.

Hey Ed, I agree 100% I figured that chart position had to be for the U.K. I don't remember ever noticing the song listed in any of the Whitburn Billboard books. |

Everytime I watch the clip, I can't believe that the song didn't chart in Canada or the U.S. It should have been huge! |

This is one of my favorite tracks off The Eagles 2007 album "Long Road Out of Eden" I couldn't find anything except three different bootlegs of live performances that were part of their Long Road Out of Eden tour. The quality is not that great on them - this is probably the best.
Listen to the lyrics, and you'll think that - despite some very interesting imagery - is the simple story of a guy who lost a girl to a richer/more appealing guy, and is just biding his time until she comes to her senses. But Don Henley says that it's not about a typical girl, Here, Henley is singing to Music -- music as it was when he was a younger man, and the genre was his. But the genre moved on to a "flashier" style that he could not acommodate - nor did he want to. So now, he's waiting for the cycle to complete itself, and for music to return to the style of his youth. Try to listen to the lyrics and see if you agree - this song is a love song to the music that we all loved.

Don Henley is a great storyteller, and I like the way his lyrics are multi-layered and open to interpretation. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the day will ever come when music will come back full circle - it seems to have strayed so far away for the most part. Still, you never know. |

Here's a couple from Genesis: Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything but a live performance of this. Two great early ones! Trespass and Nursery Cryme are both underrated albums, with some very interesting and inventive tracks. |

This is an old Rush song that I got turned onto a few years ago. The song, "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" is originally from their Fly By Night album. I couldn't find that on You Tube. This version is a live version from their Exit Stage Left Concert.

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to burn "The Music Click Presents: Great Album Tracks Vol 1" and I need about one or two more songs (I have about 10 or so minutes open.) I want different artists though. Only one song per artist on Vol 1. ;D

This is a good one. |
