Their 1973 self-titled debut was a warning shot for American hard rock, marked by a barrage of Montrose's air-guitar-worthy licks, highly innovative song structures and archetypal cock rock-isms provided by Hagar. While <i>Montrose</i> didn't see much airplay, the band was nevertheless seen as heavily influential and was touted by critics as brimming with potential. That potential was never realized as lineup changes -- including Hagar's departure after only two records -- and a decrease in the distinctiveness of their sound on successive albums (they only put out four) led to the band's dissolution by 1976. - Mike McGuirkHard Rocken720Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:12:01 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.34692&rws=%2Fmontrose%2Ftop-tracks.rss Session guitar hotshot Ronnie Montrose assembled Montrose in the early '70s, with fellow session dudes Bill Church and Denny Carmassi as a rhythm section and future star Sammy Hagar on vocals.
