100 Greatest Rock Songs Of The 1970s

I will argue for the rest of my life that the 1970s delivered the most incredible rock music of all time. Many will claim it was the 1960s, and I have to admit they have a pretty good point.

We’re talking about The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, and so many other greats from the 1960s. If you went to high school during that decade, you’ll probably argue that the sixties were better. I graduated high school in 1979, so I grew up in the ’70s, and I connected deeply with that music.

I’ve always believed the music you grew up with in high school is the music you’ll love most. Yet, as a historian, when I look back at every decade of rock music since the 1950s and try to separate my emotional ties to the 1970s, I still believe the ’70s delivered the most iconic rock and roll songs and albums of all time.

We had Led Zeppelin, the greatest rock and roll band of all time. We lived through the days of Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Grand Funk, Styx, Foreigner, Heart, Boston, and so many others.

In the end, this is all about fun. Whatever music you like, you like. Here are my favorites!

This is a subjective list of my hundred favorite rock songs from the 1970s, also chosen with their impact on music culture in mind. The order is somewhat random except for the top 10 because you can’t really argue that one great song is definitively better than another. We also hope to introduce younger listeners to music they may have never heard while celebrating these songs with longtime fans.

I wrote most of this list right off the top of my head. These are the songs that have been the most memorable for me, the ones that have stayed with me all these years. I thought that was the most genuine way to do it, not by researching or going through albums, but by thinking about the songs I have remembered the most. I’m in my 60s now, but I still feel like I’m 15 whenever I hear these songs.

What are your favorites?

# 100 – Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting – Elton John

This list opens with none other than the great Elton John. He may have been the single greatest solo artist of the 1970s. He has plenty of competition, but if I had to pick one individual artist rather than a band, it would be Elton John. So it seemed right to open the list with one of his most rocking tunes. Do you remember how much people loved this song? It was all over AM and FM radio when it first came out. The band was on fire.

The song was released on his 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It was a real challenge to pick the songs from that album to place on this list because so many of them belong here. Just think about the big hits on this album. Of course you have this one, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” and then there was “Bennie and the Jets,” “Candle in the Wind,” the incredible opening track of “Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding,” and then the fan favorite “Harmony,” and so many more. What a spectacular album.

# 99 – Peace Of Mind – Boston

Is there a better debut album in rock and roll history than Boston’s debut? Do you remember the first time you heard the song “More Than a Feeling?” The sound of that guitar, the sound of the vocals? It was unlike anything we ever heard before. And it pretty much was, because Tom Scholz was using the Rockman guitar effect which he invented himself. Guitars had never sounded like that before.

“Peace of Mind” was the second track on Side A. What a song to follow “More Than a Feeling!” and then close the side with “Foreplay/ Long Time.” It’s easy to argue that this is one of the greatest first sides of any album. And we were talking about one of the greatest debut albums of all time, but then when you just take a look at that side one and those three songs- “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” and then “Foreplay/Long Time,” there’s not a second of downtime.

# 98 – The Wall – Kansas

This was my favorite song on the legendary Leftoverture album that put Kansas on the map in a big way. It might not have been as big as “Carry On Wayward Son,” but this one always had something special. The band needed something strong to follow up the opening track. And of course it couldn’t sound anything like the opening track. So this was perfection. The group had fans before this album was released obviously, but the impact that this album had on finding the group on an entire new audience was astonishing.

Kansas would become one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Even here in 2026 people still follow the band. It’s tough for progressive rock bands to find large audiences outside of just progressive rock fans. Yet Kansas learned how to do it. Their follow-up album was very successful too, with the single ” Point of No Return” and, of course, the huge hit “Dust in the Wind.”

# 97 – New Rose – The Damned

This was one of the most significant moments at the start of ’70s punk. These guys could write, and they could play.

I didn’t want this list to be just traditional rock songs. I can’t really use the term classic because they’ve all become classics, and they weren’t considered classic in the seventies. There were different styles of music, and of course the mainstream was the most popular, up until the punk scene started to rise out of the underground of New York City and the streets of London. This band was very special.

# 96 – Carry On – Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Jumping from the Damned to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young shows just how musically diverse the 1970s were. This is one reason fans who grew up in the ’70s learned to love so many different types of music. “Carry On” opened the legendary Déjà Vu album in 1970.

There were so many different lineups between these four musicians: David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. Yet this was really the only studio album the four of them put out together in the early 1970s. Yes, there was the album So Far, but it was kind of a greatest-hits package with some additional tracks. There are plenty of Crosby, Stills, and Nash albums, but I wish the four of them recorded more studio work in the beginning of the decade. But Neil Young was pretty busy putting out his own stuff, and creating one of the most legendary rock and roll catalogs of all time.

# 95 – The Rover – Led Zeppelin

The first of many Led Zeppelin songs on this list appeared on my favorite Led Zeppelin album, Physical Graffiti. The album was a two-record set released in 1975. It followed Houses of the Holy, which followed Led Zeppelin IV, which was titled Led Zeppelin. Imagine living in 1975, I’m going to the store and buying a brand new led Zeppelin album that was two records filled with some of the most incredible rock and roll music you are ever going to hear. Well I don’t have to imagine, because that’s what I did.

Two years later, I would see Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden in 1977. It was the most incredible constant experience of my life. I’ve written about it many times on this site. I highly recommend that you check it out because, to me, that was the Pinnacle of rock and roll in the 1970s.

# 94 – Torn and Frayed – Rolling Stones

Many will argue that the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St. was their greatest album. This deep cut comes from that spectacular two-record set.

# 93 – Listen To The Music – The Doobie Brothers

“Listen to the Music” was released on the Doobie Brothers’ second album, Toulouse Street, in 1972. If that opening guitar riff didn’t get you first, that sweet-sounding chorus would finish the job.

# 92 – My Sharona – The Knack

I was in high school in my senior year in 1979 when this song came out. That bass line still knocks me out. I still have the 45 single with that very cool cover.

# 91 – Jet – Paul McCartney & Wings

The Band on the Run album opens with the title track, one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written, then it goes right into “Jet.” What a moment that was. I still believe those two opening songs on that album are Paul McCartney’s greatest moment as a solo artist.

# 90 – Mississippi Queen – Mountain

Easily one of the greatest rock guitar licks of all time. Leslie West was also one of the most underrated rock guitarists ever to live.

# 89 – Rock ‘n’ Roll High School – The Ramones

The title track to one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s when you leave common sense at the door and just have fun.

# 88 – Cleveland Rocks – Ian Hunter

If we wanted to put a face on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then it should be Ian Hunter. And of course we all know where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is; it’s in Cleveland. This song definitely rocks. Easily my favorite Ian Hunter song.

# 87 – Tangled up in Blue – Bob Dylan

Dylan wrote some of the most legendary songs of the 1960s, but I really enjoyed his mid-’70s work most. I especially enjoyed albums like Blood on the Tracks, which this song is from, and of course the follow-up, Desire.

# 86 – Tie Your Mother Down – Queen

Queen was the first rock band I ever saw in concert when they toured with Thin Lizzy. They opened with this song. This one rocks so hard.

# 85 – Cowboy Song – Thin Lizzy

Everyone knows “The Boys Are Back in Town,” but I think this is one of their most underrated songs.

# 84 – Carpet Of The Sun – Renaissance

Annie Haslam has one of the most amazing voices in all of rock history, and she is such a wonderful person. Check out my interview with Annie and Jim.

# 83 – Funk #49 – James Gang

Joe Walsh has had so many rock and roll lives. From the James Gang to Barnstorm, his solo career, and of course the Eagles. This was a real gem from the James Gang years.

# 82 – Take It Off the Top – The Dixie Dregs

If you’re unfamiliar with the band The Dixie Dregs, then this song is a great place to start. Steve Morse leads the way with his sensational guitar playing.

# 81 – Strange Way – Firefall

This was the opening track of Firefall’s 1978 album Elan. This wasn’t as sweet as most of their ’70s hit singles. It was dark, and you just couldn’t stop listening.

# 80 – Right Down The Line – Gerry Rafferty

Most people would have picked “Baker Street” because it was the much bigger hit, but I always liked the follow-up single, “Right Down the Line,” much better.

# 79 – Black Maria – Todd Rundgren

Yes, I know he had a lot of hits, but something about this one really hit me.

# 78 – Black Napkins – Frank Zappa

The guitar work on this is mind-blowing. “Black Napkins” appeared on Zoot Allures.

# 77 – Does It Make You Feel Good – The Good Rats

If you were from the East Coast of the United States, especially New York and, even more significantly, Long Island, you knew the Good Rats. They were the band of the seventies locally on Long Island. They should have been bigger.

# 76 – Rose Darling – Steely Dan

Steely Dan’s musical career took quite an interesting road. It’s fascinating how their sound evolved very quickly throughout the seventies. On Katy Lied, their jazz influence was becoming more pronounced, but they had also moved on from their earlier, more traditional rock-and-roll pop corner. “Rose Darling” was right in that sweet spot.

# 75 – Radar Love – Golden Earring

It’s a shame most people in the United States know this band only from this song, because this group had a legendary career overseas.

# 74 – Wild in the Streets – Garland Jeffreys

I’ve always been a big fan of Garland Jeffreys. He is one of those rock and roll artists I think more people need to discover.

# 73 – I Feel the Earth Move – Carole King

This is one of Carole King’s most soulful songs ever released. That piano introduction gets me onto the floor every single time.

# 72 – Barracuda – Heart

Heart released one of the greatest debut albums of the ’70s, then went on to release one of the greatest sophomore records of any band of all time. Led all the way by this killer guitar riff and Ann Wilson’s mesmerizing lead vocals.

# 71 – L.A. Woman – The Doors

Whenever I hear this song, I remember playing it on my 8-track player in my car. It’s the perfect driving song, and you don’t have to be in LA to listen to it.

# 70 – Black Dog – Led Zeppelin

I could easily fill this list with 100 Led Zeppelin songs. This one is one of the most unique ones ever released. Remember screaming this vocal at the top of your lungs?

# 69 – Roundabout – Yes

This is the song that turned a lot of people on to Yes. Progressive rock bands rarely had hit singles, so having one was a big help for the progressive rock movement. I love this band.

# 68 – A Farewell To Kings – Rush

Most of my friends became Rush fans in the ’70s when 2112 was released. Then the band released this as a follow-up, and I thought it was an even stronger record. In fact, it’s always been my favorite Rush album.

# 67 – Here Comes the Summer – The Undertones

They were never that big in the U.S., but this late-’70s song previewed the great things to come for the band in the ’80s. I love this group.

# 66 – When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main Drag – Laura Nyro

Most of Laura’s great songs were written in the ’60s, but this is a fantastic lesser-known track from her 1970 album Christmas and the Beads of Sweat.

# 65 – Talk To Me – Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

The band’s third album made them bigger than ever. It was their strongest effort, and Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt wrote most of it.

# 64 – Stay With Me – The Faces

I first heard this song on the four-record set Superstars of the ’70s. I was a young kid, but this was one of my favorite tracks on that four-record set. Everyone loves this one.

# 63 – Scenes From An Italian Restaurant – Billy Joel

This may be Billy Joel’s defining moment on his defining 1970s album The Stranger. This is a man who had a lot of great moments in the 70s, but this may be his most special.

# 62 – Draw The Line – Aerosmith

Many fans were disappointed with the Draw the Line album after it followed Rocks, which followed Toys in the Attic, but I always thought this opening track was killer.

# 61 – Fooling Yourself – Styx

The Grand Illusion was easily Styx’s greatest rock and roll record of the 1970s and pretty much their entire career. The big hit was Come Sail Away, but I thought the best song on the album was “Fooling Yourself.”

# 60 – Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath

This one easily wins for the scariest rock song of all time. When Ozzy screams “God help me,” the shivers never end.

# 59 – Feels Like The First Time – Foreigner

Easily one of the greatest debut singles of all time. During the previous year, we also had landmark debut albums from Heart and Boston.

# 58 – Billion Dollar Babies – Alice Cooper

Talk to any Alice Cooper fan, and they’ll tell you their favorite Alice Cooper album is Billion Dollar Babies.

# 57 – Never Been to Spain – Three Dog Night

Whenever I put together a Three Dog Night song list and ask people what their favorite Three Dog Night song is, this one usually gets the most votes.

# 56 – Stranglehold – Ted Nugent

In the 21st century, a lot of people don’t agree with Ted Nugent and his thought process, but in the 20th century, this man rocked the house.

# 55 – In The Dead of Night – U.K.

It’s a shame this band released only one album with Allan Holdsworth on guitar. Some people consider it the greatest progressive rock record of all time. It’s right up there.

# 54 – Anarchy in the U.K. – The Sex Pistols

Well, this is the perfect title for this song. They were so much bigger in the U.K., and a lot of us in the U.S. were thinking, really? But over time, you saw just how important this band was.

# 53 – Highway Star – Deep Purple

Another band that we could probably fill the entire list up with 100 Deep Purple songs. This one drives right over you.

# 52 – Sweet Emotion – Aerosmith

Is Aerosmith the greatest American rock and roll band of all time? Some people on this site have already said they are.

# 51 – Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love – Van Halen

I don’t like getting into the arguments Sammy Hagar versus David Lee Roth, but this song really defines what the David Lee Roth years were all about.

# 50 – Trampled Under Foot – Led Zeppelin

I’m having a hard time limiting my Led Zeppelin songs for this list because there are just so many, but I had to have this one from my favorite Led Zeppelin album, Physical Graffiti.

# 49 – Locomotive Breath – Jethro Tull

Maybe the biggest crime in Rock and Roll history is that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hasn’t recognized Jethro Tull. I mean, are you kidding me?

# 48 – Shooting Star – Bad Company

Bad Company was huge in the seventies; the sound of Paul Rodgers’ voice in those songs captivated everybody. This song was special, and everyone loved this one.

# 47 – Iron Man – Black Sabbath

This very well may be the ultimate Black Sabbath guitar lick. Every garage band played this one.

# 46 – Bat Out Of Hell – Meat Loaf

No other song in my life has ever blown me away more than this one did the first time I heard it. I sat with my mouth open for nearly ten minutes. I could not believe what I was hearing.

# 45 – I Just Want To Have Something To Do – The Ramones

One of the greatest scenes in the Ramones movie Rock and Roll High School is when the Ramones show up to the concert in the convertible with Joey Ramone singing this song to a drumstick. I don’t mean a drumstick; I mean an actual turkey drumstick.

# 44 – 2112 – Rush

Just like with “Bat Out Of Hell,” this was another one of those songs where I had never even heard of the band. I only picked up the album because I thought the cover was cool, and when I put on this track, I just stood there in stunned silence, not believing what I was hearing.

# 43 – Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 2 – Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Another great rock band that deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I can’t believe that they’re not recognized. Has anybody there ever listened to this piece of music? ELP was huge in the 70s.

# 42 – The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway – Genesis

If you want to turn people on to the sound of Genesis in the 1970s when they were led by Peter Gabriel, this is the track to play.

# 41 – Rosalita – Bruce Springsteen

If you ever saw Bruce Springsteen in the 1970s, this would be one of the final songs of the night, and possibly the biggest party song, ever played on the concert stage. You had to be there.

# 40 – Roadhouse Blues – The Doors

It’s a real blues-based song, but when Jim Morrison starts the part about “waking up in the morning,” it takes it to a whole other level. I mean, Jim Morrison was a whole other level.

# 39 – Suffragette City – David Bowie

Wham bam, that’s all I need to say about this one.

# 38 – Magic Man – Heart

This could possibly be the most recognizable opening guitar note of 1970s classic rock. And then Ann Wilson sings her Heart out. No pun intended.

# 37 – Born To Run – Bruce Springsteen

I remember being in 9th grade, and everybody was talking about this guy. So I went out and bought the single. I wasn’t sure if I liked it at first; his voice was so low. But then it got to the part where the music breaks, and he screams “one, two, three, four,” and my life instantly changed.

# 36 – Kashmir – Led Zeppelin

Another gem from Physical Graffiti. Maybe the most epic-sounding song the band ever released. And they released a lot of epic-sounding songs.

# 35 – Highway To Hell – AC/DC

AC/DC turning it up to 11.

# 34 – Detroit Rock City – Kiss

It’s very interesting to remember the story of KISS in the 1970s, how their fourth album, Alive, turned them into a household name. And then they released what I believe is their greatest studio album of all time, Destroyer. And this is the track that opens it all up.

# 33 – Walk On The Wild Side – Lou Reed

You can’t be from New York and not love Lou Reed. In fact, you can’t be from planet Earth and not love Lou Reed.

# 32 – Southern Man – Neil Young

I thought these next two songs definitely belonged together on this list. This one really ticked off Lynyrd Skynyrd.

# 31 – Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

Even if you know just a little bit about Rock and Roll history, you know that this was Lynyrd Skynyrd’s response to Neil Young’s “Southern Man” and “Alabama.” But the song became so big that it didn’t really seem to matter much anymore.

# 30 – Aja – Steely Dan

This was Steely Dan’s most shining moment. The perfect blend of jazz, Rock, and fusion. If there ever was a song that we can call perfect, it’s this one. And it seems that that is exactly what they set out to do, at least from all the stories I’ve heard.

# 29 – Whipping Post – The Allman Brothers Band

This one is easily one of the greatest jam band songs of all time. Duane Allman’s guitar playing on here stands as some of the best he ever did.

# 28 – Dancing Days – Led Zeppelin

Houses of the Holy is my second favorite Led Zeppelin album. It’s one of those albums you can play over and over and never get tired of. I love the sound of Jimmy Page’s guitar on this.

# 27 – Do You Feel Like We Do – Peter Frampton

I was in 9th grade when Frampton Comes Alive came out. I remember the radio playing “Show Me the Way” non-stop. However, it was the closing song on the album, “Do You Feel Like We Do,” the 14-minute epic that rock fans fell in love with, and FM radio played it all the time. Imagine FM radio now playing something that long; it just doesn’t happen anymore.

# 26 – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen

Wow, Bohemian Rhapsody is definitely the song that put Queen on the map worldwide; a lot of us had been digging the band since Sheer Heart Attack, the album before A Night at the Opera. Nonetheless, this song was unlike anything rock and roll had ever produced. Imagine pure opera in the middle of the song that becomes this massive hit. Yeah, I’m sure a lot of people are tired of hearing this, but that doesn’t take away from how impactful it was.

# 25 – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts) – Pink Floyd

Do you remember staring at this album cover, trying to figure out what was going on while listening to this music? That’s what the ’70s were all about. Listening to music, staring at the album covers, and wondering what everything meant and actually really not caring if you didn’t know.

# 24 – In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed – The Allman Brothers Band

We should never call The Allman Brothers a southern rock band. They were so much more than just that. If you want to argue that point, all you have to do is play this song.

# 23 – The Ocean – Led Zeppelin

There are so many songs on this list where I want to say it’s the greatest riff of all time, but that’s just my emotion overtaking me. Yet, here we are at “The Ocean” by Led Zeppelin. And OMG, what a riff this is. I just love the way Bonham counts this off.

# 22 – Nobody’s Fault – Aerosmith

Aerosmith has always been one of my favorite rock and roll bands, and if I had to pick the greatest Aerosmith song ever released, it’s this one here at number 22 on our list: Nobody’s Fault from the grand Rocks album.

# 21 – Crazy On You – Heart

As we head into the top 20 on our 100 greatest rock and roll songs of the 1970s, I’m now starting to get into my favorite songs from the best ’70s bands. I will never get tired of hearing Ann Wilson sing I want to go crazy on you.

# 20 – Slow Ride – Foghat

I love this band. I saw them so many times in the 1970s. I always enjoyed going to Long Island’s Commack Arena and standing right up against the stage and watching these guys rock the roof off.

What a privilege it was a few years ago when I got to interview Roger Earl. I actually asked him about those shows.

# 19 – Green Grass And High Tides – Outlaws

It’s amazing how big southern rock was in the 1970s in the Northeast. The Outlaws were a big favorite. This was one of those songs that competed with Free Bird for airplay on FM radio. An epic southern rock song with a huge rock and roll ending jam.

# 18 – Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding – Elton John

If any other artist had opened an album with these two songs, that’s all they’d need to make it a great album. But of course you all know what came next on this amazing record. What an album opener.

# 17 – (I Know) I’m Losing You – Rod Stewart

Just pure rock and roll excitement. This is probably Rod Stewart’s greatest vocal, and he had many of them.

# 16 – Dogs – Pink Floyd

It’s kind of tough to pick between Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Dark Side of the Moon as what I believe are Pink Floyd’s best records. Most people will argue it’s Dark Side. And they have the charts on their side.

But my personal favorite will always be Animals. And this song is the reason why.

# 15 – Stairway To Heaven – Led Zeppelin

Yes, we all got tired of hearing this one. But you remember the first time you heard it? Can you erase everything that came afterward but just remember the first time? That’s why it’s at number 15.

# 14 – Band On The Run – Paul McCartney & Wings

It would be hard for any of the four Beatles to match any of their Beatles moments during their solo careers. But of course, Lennon had “Imagine,” George had “My Sweet Lord,” Ringo had “Photograph,” and I believe that this was Paul McCartney’s greatest solo song.

# 13 – Ziggy Stardust – David Bowie

It’s really sad that David Bowie is no longer with us. He was one of the most creative individual rock stars throughout the history of this planet. And I used the word planet on purpose, because Bowie will forever be the starman.

# 12 – Eruption/You Really Got Me – Van Halen

Could Eruption possibly be the greatest guitar solo of all time? Even if you believe it’s not, I think you’ll be hard-pressed to argue that it isn’t one of the greatest guitar solo openings ever. And then there’s that amazing cover of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” that follows it.

# 11 – London Calling – The Clash

The Clash took politics, punk and rock and roll to a level that no one had ever seen before. This song became one of the band’s defining statements.

# 10 – Can’t You Hear Me Knocking – The Rolling Stones

We open the top 10 with the perfect Rolling Stones song from one of the best albums they ever released, if not the best.

# 9 – When The Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin

How in the world do you pick the best Led Zeppelin song? Every one of them feels like the best when you hear it.

# 8 – More Than A Feeling – Boston

No matter how many times I hear this song, I never get tired of it.

# 7 – Free Bird – Lynyrd Skynyrd

Yes, we’ve all heard this one too many times, just like plenty of other songs on this list. But as someone who made a living playing in cover bands for many years, I don’t think there was ever a night when someone in the audience didn’t yell, “Play Free Bird!”

# 6 – Intro/Sweet Jane (Live) – Lou Reed

For anyone who has heard this before, no explanation is needed for why it belongs in the top 10.

# 5 – Close To The Edge – Yes

It’s tough to call an entire album side a song, but when we’re talking about Yes and other classic progressive rock bands, that’s just the way it works. Yes released a lot of great music, but I’ve always believed “Close to the Edge” was their peak. At least it was for me.

# 4 – Jungleland – Bruce Springsteen

I originally had “Born to Run” in this spot, but then I thought about it a little more. As great as “Born to Run” was, “Jungleland,” the closing song on that album, may be the most striking composition and recording Springsteen has ever released.

I still remember hearing it for the first time and not being able to talk for quite a while afterward.

# 3 – Baba O’Riley – The Who

I go back and forth with this one all the time. Ask me yesterday, and I might have put it at number one. Tomorrow, I may put it at number one again.

I think this might be my favorite rock song of all time. It probably should be number one, but The Who’s track and the song that follows had such a massive impact that I wanted the end of the list to balance my sentimental choices, personal favorites, and the records that changed rock history.

# 2 – Layla – Derek & The Dominos

Just imagine if we lived in a perfect world where we didn’t lose musicians, legendary bands stayed together, and we all lived in harmony. Sadly, we don’t, and that’s why we only have one Derek and the Dominos studio album.

But oh man, what an album it was. Some of the most remarkable talent in rock and roll created one of the most stunning songs in classic rock history.
