Perhaps the Scorpions are best known to everyone for their arena hard rock/metal music and antics. A little lesser known is how Scorpions got their start and what they originally sounded like.
In 1972, Scorpions finally released an album entitled Lonesome Crow. What listeners who have never heard this album might be surprised by is how Scorpions sound. First of all, to give an indication, this is the only full album where Michael Schenker, later of UFO, played on. Give one listen and you realize the whole album has a Black Sabbath feel to it and sounds nothing like what we know from Scorpions.
Lonesome Crow by Scorpions is the song. At 13 minutes long, it is fairly long, but well worth it in my opinion at least. In fact, most of the album is deathly underrated. How it got only 2 stars on AllMusic is a mystery. Here is a shortened 9 minute version of the song via YouTube:
