Essential Hidden Treasure Albums of the 70's.
A clarifying variation on the theme we started last week!! Love how this works sometimes... Here's two hidden treasure albums from the 70's. Now I know its hard to find hidden treasure albums from the crew on here, but I try! The one caveat to my posting is that these are albums I think not many people own but ones I think that they should! That's why they're essential... Enjoy!

Hey, now I have access once again.
No need to write other comments, than those I just wrote on FB:
Once in a while, I don't know what music to listen to, and since I had one of those days yesterday, I listened to both these albums, that is, I only got to hear two songs from the AC-album, but I will continue later today, when/if I get the time. Starting with those songs from AC, they are awesome! Especially the second track on that album. I don't remember which songs, you've picked from the album, Scott. Both the Nugent- and Cooper-albums I remember from way back, not because I bought them myself, but a friend of mine did, and he especially listened to the AC-album for years and years. But in both cases, I wasn't that impressed at the time. I guess it was around the time, I was listening to Maiden and Priest, but listening to the Nugent-album today, I can hear some early Priest in the sound. The Nugent-album is definitely better than the couple of Nugent-albums I bought in the mid-80's, but I can't see myself as a coming fan of Nugent (or former). AC on the other hand only seems to impress me, the more I hear his "early" albums. Again I made the mistake buying albums (by AC) in the mid-80s. A couple of years ago, I listened to most of the early AC-albums, but I don't think I got to this one, especially because I remembered listening to it a lot around the beginning of the 80's. But actually, I don't really remember hearing those two first songs on this album, and I'm really looking forward to be hearing the rest later on. Much better than last week, Scott, not surprisingly, since I'm more of a 70's-man than 80's.
Oh, and a couple of essential "hidden" albums from the 70's: Jethro Tull (off course) - Songs From The Wood (or my favorite live-double album of all time, yes better than KISS Alive!: Bursting Out)
Nazareth- No Mean city
and City Boy (off course) - Book Early
I'd love to see some Deluxe Editions coming from the AC catalog... From The Inside would make a great one!
If you were looking for someone to not own these two albums, you've come to the right place. Actually, that's not true, as I forgot that I recently bought a five cd set from Uncle Ted.
Speaking of Ted, I thought the songs from his album were fair, but nothing that knocked me out. My favorite album of his is still Free-For-All. Maybe because Meat Loaf sang on some of it. I'm pretty sure Stranglehold is on this one, and that is one fantastic song.
I have wanted the Alice Cooper album for sometime, I just haven't bought it. I believer the song How You Gonna See Me Now is on it, and I really do like that song. But these three tracks were very interesting. It's very 70's, therefore I like it. Nurse Rosetta brings to mind One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Not sure why, there really is no connection other that "nurse".
Good picks this week. I'm gonna get that AC album one of these days.
That's Jon's web reference, I need to know what wikipedia says about it...
From Wikipedia:
Ted Nugent was born on some date, somewhere. He was in a group, it could have been The Beatles but I'm not too sure. He ran over the other members of the band with a Schwinn bicycle because they didn't want him to put out solo records and he's still on the run. His first album came out somewhere around 1996 and he's put out another 50 or so albums since. I like eggs.
Sounds more like Jon'smindopedia...
I would think most everyone would have that TN album, just because of "Stranglehold" (or "Strangleland" as WMP titles it). I have it as well as most of the others you mentioned, but no longer have "Penetrator". Had it on vinyl and the only reason I picked it up was because the cover was cool. Don't even know if it's even in-print on CD any longer, but I don't believe it was that good of an album. Maybe a couple songs. Maybe I'll look for it. Maybe not.
What's funny is that track #3 flies under the radar. It's familiar but not THAT familiar and I actually had to pull out the album and see if you were pulling a fast one. Yep, definitely a song on the album that's there but I never really, REALLY noticed it before and, even though it's something that really doesn't "fit", it's a good song.
As for AC, this is quite good. The only AC albums I have are from the 90's and 00's, not including a greatest hits package. Have no idea why I've never bothered to buy any of his 70's albums since the songs I've heard from them are, at the very least interesting. I've just never had the urge to go on an AC album-buying bender like with other artists. Maybe one day I will and I'll pick this one up fo sho.
