Just wondering what songs people like that no one else knows or gives much credit to. I'll start it off with 3 (I'm sure I'll get disputed on these as I'm sure many on this site may know these):

Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone (I think one of their best but least known songs)

Love and Rockets - Saudade

Incubus - Aqueous Transmission

 

[Sketch]

Social Distortion - Cold Feelings
The Pietasters - Without You
Helmet - Role Model
Handsome - Quiet Liar
Beth Orton - Lean on Me (w/ Terry Callier)
Jimmy Eat World - Goodbye Sky Harbor
Ben Allison & Medicine Wheel - Riding the Nuclear Tiger
Beastie Boys - Pass the Mic
Macy Gray - I Can't Wait to Meetchu
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Hell of a Hat
Primus - Those Damn Blue-Collared Tweekers
Ultraspank - Butter
Soundgarden - Limo Wreck
Elliott Smith - In the Lost and Found (Honky Bach)
DJ Shadow - Blood on the Motorway
Gomez - Devil Will Ride
Sunny Day Real Estate - Every Shining Time You Arrive
The Toasters - Dub 56
Rancid - Coppers

Hey! That's my fave Led Zep song too!

'Til Tuesday - No One is Watching You Now. Something about Aimee Mann in her 80's pop glory really gets to me, and I much prefer this to "Voices Carry." Just a "Top Gun with Class"-type anthem.

I've always loved "Voices Carry". I'll have to look a little deeper and check this one out.

And check out Aimee Mann's solo work - "Lost in Space" is amazing, and it's on that audiophile MFSL label too! But my fave post-Til Tuesday's work with Aimee Mann is that duo with Michael Penn (yes, Sean Penn's bro who had that one-hit wonder "No Myth" in the 80's) when they covered the Beatles' "Two of Us" for the "I am Sam" soundtrack. Not TOO obscure, right?

I will second those two... although Ramble On is my favorite Led Zep tune

I always thought it would be nice if Ween enjoyed at least a little acknowledgment from the mainstream. Ever since "Push th' Little Daisies" was aired on Beavis and Butthead, folks seem to chalk up the Brothers Ween as nothing more than a gag band.

True enough, they're pretty gonzo and their lyrics hold as much meaning as a bag of marbles... but they've done a lot of great stuff, including some pretty great "normal" tracks.

I used to be a big Love and Rockets fan and saw them live just after they came out with Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven.

One of my current favourite less known songs is James - Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) but that may change next month.
