40 Years Of Classic Rock, 1973 – 2013 Part Two, Montrose – ‘Montrose’ [VIDEOS]

One unique item in regards to the album 'Montrose' is that it was not only a debut album for Montrose but also a debut for Sam Hagar ( as known back then).

As we eventually found out Sammy went on to have a huge solo career and also served up some lead vocals for Van Halen.

The album 'Montrose' got limited radio airplay but is still to this day a collected masterpiece for the classic rock fan. Most of the songs were written by both Hagar and Ronnie Montrose (founder/guitar).

Original LP Track List:

1. "Rock The nation"
2. "Bad Motor Scooter"
3. "Space Station #5"
4. "I Don't Want It"

Side 2:

1. "Good Rockin' Tonight"
2. "Rock Candy"
3. "One Thing on My Mind"
