Noah (The Bob Seger System album)

Noah is the second studio album by American rock band The Bob Seger System, released in September 1969. Seger was displeased with the album as it was the label's intention to showcase Tom Neme as the voice of the band. Seger contemplated quitting music altogether after this album. It has never been reissued on a legitimate U.S. CD by Capitol and probably never will be, as Seger disavows it. It does, however, contain the Seger title song, "Noah", which was issued as a single in July 1969.

The album features the song "Death Row", which was a holdover from the Ramblin' Gamblin' Man sessions. It was originally issued as the B-side of the single "2 + 2 = ?".
