I always loved when The Moody Blues would have a flute solo.  Flute was one of my first instruments, and hearing it used it rock and roll on the radio gave me hope.

Good to see you dig it, Orbert, but, you and I aside, the lack of appreciation from others for this song makes me sad.  :|

Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers

From what I've been told about this song, while it was popular here in St. Louis, it didn't catch on in a lot of other places, mainly because it was 1983 and this kind of southern rock really wasn't what people wanted anymore, but to me, it sounds like vintage 70s southern rock and is a fantastic song.  I am not even that big a fan of southern rock, but this band has a handful of songs I really like, and this is one of them.

hefdaddy42

Never heard it.

Not a big fan of Molly Hatchett, though.  But certainly never heard it on any classic rock radio around here.  But knowing what I do about that band, it doesn't surprise me in the least that it sounds like something older than what it is.

Favorite Molly Hatchet song, even if by 1983 a near nine minute long variation on the Free Bird structure (ballad start-long uptempo guitar coda) was basically doomed to failure. Pretty fair to call this traditional Southern Rock's last gasp, since Hatchet took the synths and pop songs track on their next album. But what a way for an era to go  :metal

That song title sounds like something from Blind Guardian.

Jaq, I figured you and/or Orbert would be the only other ones who knew this one. :lol :coolio

Jaq

I would've went with me myself.  Molly Hatchet just seems more up my alley  :lol

Orbert

It is, certainly more than mine.  I've heard some Molly Hatchet, even checked out an album of theirs once (I don't remember which one) and it was good.  Some nice, tasty guitar work.  But I guess they just didn't stick with me.

Ozzy Osbourne - Revelation (Mother Earth)

I have no idea how much this was played on the radio back in the day, if at all, but I know that this is undoubtedly the best solo song Ozzy ever did, IMO.  It has a little bit of everything, and does it all extremely well.  Outstanding tune. :metal

Pretty good song, but I've certainly never heard it on the radio around here.

Never played on the radio here-deepest local radio got here with that album was Mr. Crowley, which isn't really what you'd call deep.  :lol Great song, though.

Supertramp - Rudy

I don't think I've ever heard this on the radio, but it's on like every greatest hits they released, so it must have been a popular song of some sort back in the day.  It doesn't hurt that it's from Crime of the Century, which is mostly pretty terrific.  I've never really went out of my way to figure out what my favorite Supertramp song is, but if I did, this song might be it; it's that great.  It's a song that if I start listening to it, I never feel like not listening to it; I'll always listen to all of it.  And for being nearly 7 1/2 minutes, it doesn't feel like it. 

Jaq

Love me some early Supertramp, but I also never could figure out just why Rudy was on so many bloody compilation albums.  :lol The band's said Crime of the Century was their artistic high point, so maybe they just want the album properly represented since for most people Supertramp is Give A Little Bit and the whole of Breakfast in America, and if you asked most people they'd think Give A Little Bit was on that album too.  :lol

hefdaddy42

Yeah, another good song that I've never heard on the radio.  :biggrin:

Love some Supertramp.

You have all been cheated by life itself.  The FM station in Lansing, MI in the 70's had Rudy in its regular rotation for a while.  Great song!

Never played on the radio here but of course I played the crap out of the first 2 albums.  Good tune but on the lower end for the first album.

Great album and such a great tune.  I wish I could have seen them in the late 70's.
