Sometimes the hits draw you in but the deep cuts keep you around 🤘

There is a difference between not liking a hit, because you just don't like it .... and not liking a Hit, because it was a huge hit, but too overplayed, so much that you just can't stand it anymore.

Two friends used to tell me back in the day that there's more to Blue Oyster Cult than "Don't Fear The Reaper" and more to Priest than "Living After Midnight"

Skynyrd.  Most people only know Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama, but their catalog is so rich.  One of those bands where if you are a fan, every song is a classic.  The deeper the track, the better.

"Roundabout" is worth listening to for Chris Squire's elastic bass work alone. So much fun to hear him go off.

'Roundabout' is good, but 'Heart of the sunrise' is the pinacle on 'Fragile', imho.

As a Queen fan, started with hits, around 10-11 years old, but going deeper in their catalog...so many hidden gems! Also I heard that The Show Must Go On was not very popular hit in US, but here in Europe, especially in eastern Europe it was playing from everywhere! And according to Brian May, his favorite Queen song is The Miracle!

Scorpions....djeee...those late 80's and 90's singalong ballads.

It wouldn't bother me if I never heard "Smoke on the Water" or "Stairway to Heaven" again.

You just knew from the word go that Genesis was gonna be the grand finale of this episode.

Cheap Trick would have to be my pick. We hear the same 2 songs over and over.... yet spin the Dream Police album and every song is a friggin mindblower.

If you want to hear the 70's Genesis material live, check out a Steve Hackett concert.

The band that immediately comes to mind is Genesis. I hated their "hit factory" era, but I loved this band, especially the albums ranging in time period from The Lamb through Duke.

Golden earring is criminally underated being recognized for 2 songs

Genesis TIOA 2007 Tour proved your point, Pete! Watching the fans around me dying & crying waiting for the Collins' hits when the band were dropping Behind the Lines, In the Cage, Ripples, Cinema Show was hilarious! Only wish they played Abacab instead of Domino because the band was never was going to play Supper's Ready in its entirety again....

Thumbs up for deep cuts 👍

I wish I can start my own radio show that plays songs that aren’t played more than once every damn day! Imagine living your life only listening to the hits that bands made...

That reminded me the last Hudson Valley episode - when Pete said he got a compilation by The Cure and hated it. The Cure is that kind of band. The hits are ok (sometimes great), but the deep tracks are the real deal. Although, I don't think Pete would like The Cure for the deep tracks anyways.

Genesis starting in the 80's reminds me of drinking decaff coffee.

I’ve seen various iterations of Yes live around 18 times, and I have all their live albums and DVDs, and for years I was thoroughly bored with “Roundabout”.  But after not seeing them for a couple of years, I’ve finally come back around to enjoying that one.
