So, it appears that this thread went from "hidden gems" to "list all the songs that got over eleventy million plays on FM radio in the 70s, and everyone over the age of 50 knows the lyrics".

Had no idea so many hair band fans lurked on this site

reliving songs nobody really liked in the first place... is not as fun. maybe that's why those songs were "hidden".

Absolutely right Joe. Back to hidden gems....

Pop/top 40 radio has a limited playlist. Album oriented rock stations back in the day did indeed play many of these songs.

[FargenBastich]

 

[rudd1]

[FargenBastich]

I consider this a hidden gem from my favorite band and favorite album.

 

[TortElvisII]

Are you ready Steve?...

Uh-huh...

Nappanee Indiana version

 

[ShoesSwayedBlue]

Another lesser known gem from a superstar. Uh, pretty damned nice video too.

 

[rudd1]

-popular song from a lesser known act, great tune:

 

[mdlUK.1]

Temptations!

Dear Casey,

I'm writing you to you as a fan of the University of Kentucky basketball team. I know you're only supposed to play songs that are hidden and from the 70's but this song is at least from the 1970s. Casey, I want to dedicate this song to the basketball coach at the University of Kentucky. Unless he's willing to change his ways. Which he isn't.

 

[Catman100]

Another lesser known gem from a superstar. Uh, pretty damned nice video too.

Liked it a lot more before I found out it was about Jane Fonda.

Winner!

 

[kafka0117]

One of a short list of The Who that I like

 

[wildcatdon]

Not necessarily hidden but pretty low key.

Great song

 

[Get Buckets]

Great song

I like the foo fighters cover also.

 

[WilmoreCat]

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryna forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back!!!!!!!!!

I believe the dude in the red ended up acting on General Hospital.

 

[DSmith21]

Winner!

I am going to possibly ruin the song for you. Seger wrote "Her Strut" with Jane Fonda as the inspiration. He liked her political moxie.

Her Strut - Wikipedia

 

[JDHoss]

My favorite Kansas song....

 

[JDHoss]

Hidden gem from Deep Purple....

 

[JDHoss]

This entire BOC album was pretty good, but Astronomy and Dominance & Submission were my favorites on that album. Metallica has a great cover of this song as well...

 

[rick64]

Off the Wall was a great album. Every bit as good as Thriller IMO.
