RushFanForever Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I listen to 'classic rock' radio periodically. However I've grown tired of hearing the same predictable playlists of songs being played. I'm more intrigued with discovering underrated and under the radar songs and/or albums. Two of the above examples I'm referring to are 'Back From Rio' (1991) by Roger McGuinn and 'Out Of The Cradle' (1992) by Lindsey Buckingham. These albums should've been huge hits. Regardless they're great. Edited December 18, 2018 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Cold Chisel is one of those bands that never really caught on in the US. Their third album, East, featured the song "Cheap Wine", which became a hit of sorts for them. The international version of the album added the track "Khe Sahn", one of Cold Chisel's most iconic tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) this classic album from 1975 features Keith Relf from the Yardbirds on vocals. He unfortunately was electrocuted shortly after its release Armageddon was the last band to feature The Yardbirds' (the band that launched Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page) vocalist Keith Relf. He had founded Renaissance after the dissolution of The Yardbirds in 1968, and left Renaissance after two albums (actually half way through the second album) - to produce bands like Medicine Head (for whom he also played bass), Hunter Muskett and Saturnalia.[2]Pugh and Cennamo had broken up Steamhammer in 1973 - they then decided, with Relf (who had assisted them in the production of the final Steamhammer LP), to leave England for L.A. They tried out a few drummers in California, and decided upon drummer Bobby Caldwell to complete the Armageddon lineup.[3]According to the booklet in the Repertoire Records CD reissue of the album in 2001, Frampton and Dee Anthony recommended Armageddon to A&M Records, and it is likely that because he was their top selling artist at the time, they agreed to sign the band.[4]Although the group's self-titled album was well received by critics and fans, the band did not tour to support it - consequently, sales suffered,[5] and Relf returned to England due to poor health shortly after the album was released. He died shortly after returning to England, when he was electrocuted while playing guitar,[6] although he did record one more song "All the Falling Angels" that is included on an album by Illusion called Enchanted Caress. (Illusion was the name the original members of Renaissance chose when they reunited, as the Annie Haslam incarnation of that band was still active at that time). After Armageddon folded, bassist Cennamo reunited with his Renaissance bandmates (the aforementioned Illusion), and later worked with Jim McCarty in the bands Stairway and Renaissance Illusion. Drummer Caldwell returned to Captain Beyond for an album and tour[7] - and although guitarist Pugh appears to have retired from music after 1975, he did emerge to play guitar on sessions alongside legendary American rock guitarist Geoff Thorpe[8] of Vicious Rumors in American rock & roll band, 7th Order[9] on their debut CD, The Lake of Memory - released on the Big Island Sounds label in 2007.[10] Edited January 7, 2019 by Rushman14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandir Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 How under the radar is Traffic's debut, Mr. Fantasy? Because it was very under the radar for me until recently, and I think it's fantastic!For a band with very talented musicians, I think that this album is under the radar. Other than the title cut, I have never heard any of the other songs on the radio. I love the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
