Comin' Thru (1972) Solid Silver (1975) Peace by Piece (1986)

Solid Silver is the eighth album by American psychedelic rock band Quicksilver Messenger Service and their mid-70s comeback album. Although the songs were much shorter than on their classic late 1960s albums, Solid Silver has generally been considered a "comeback" because the original line-up found on their first two albums had temporarily reunited.

Though the album charted slightly higher than their previous two released, briefly denting the Top 100 on the Billboard 200, this would be the last Quicksilver album until Gary Duncan resurrected the Quicksilver name in 1986 with the album Peace by Piece and again in the 90's with several albums.
