| | Overlooked Albums Of The 70's Pt. 4 | | 1 |  | Steve Hackett
Spectral Mornings
Former Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett has one of the largest back catologues in progressive rock and his third solo album, Spectral Mornings is
undoubtedly one of the highlights. It features some of his finest guitar playing, most notably during, the album's opening track, Every Day and
the instrumental title track, which closes the album. | | 2 |  | Paul Kossoff
Back Street Crawler
Back Street Crawler is without doubt Kossoff's finest achievement outside of Free. Opening with the heavy blues rock jam, Tuesday Morning, this
mostly instrumental album shows just how good a guitarist Kossoff was. The album features a guest appearance by Paul Rodgers on the song
Molten Gold. | | 3 |  | Skid Row (IRE)
34 Hours
Skid Row was Gary Moore's first professional band and at one point also included Moore's childhood friend Phil Lynott who left the band early on
to form Thin Lizzy. The band's second album is a fairly experimental blues rock album that features elemtents of jazz fusion, a genre Moore
would go on to explore fully when joining Colosseum II. | | 4 |  | Fuzzy Duck
Fuzzy Duck
Excellent psychedelic rock from a criminally underrated band who unfortunately only released this one album. What a great album it is though. | | 5 |  | Caravan
If I Could Do It All Over Again...
If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (to give it it's full title) is often overlooked in favour of the band's following album, In The
Land of Grey and Pink but, despite lacking some of the laid back charm of the aforementioned follow up, is every bit as enjoyable. In fact it
benefits from the jam sections being somewhat more intense and exciting than on In The Land of Grey and Pink. | |

11.07.11 | Bump. | AngelofDeath
11.07.11 | 5 has the best album title ever. | JamieTwort
11.07.11 | Agreed. | Jethro42
11.07.11 | I need to relisten to 5 carefully. I have heard it once lonnng ago at a cd store that recd me it. All I remember is its spacey, sloppy vibe and it didnt do much for me. But now my taste in music has evolved since then, so let's give another try.
Also, I'm sooo glad to see Spectral Mornings on here. Your desc is really spot on. Keep these lists coming, JT. | sumyunguy
11.07.11 | 1 is amazing, although I probably prefer Acolyte by a hair. And if 9 Feet Underground weren't so damn perfect, I'd say 5 was better than Grey and Pink. | Jethro42
11.07.11 | @sumy, Spectral morning is more overlooked than Voyage. And if you want to take a look, ProgJect (my prog project along with Nagrarok) covered both of these. | JamieTwort
11.07.11 | @sumyunguy: I also slightly prefer Voyage but like Jethro said SP seems to be more overlooked. And yes Nine Feet
Underground is incredible. | TheNotrap
11.07.11 | Good call on 34 Hours JT.
I had a Skid Row live tape ages ago. Need to recheck this. Also Caravan. | JamieTwort
11.07.11 | ^Yeah Skid Row were great, unfortunately I haven't heard any live stuff from them. | seifer
