Name an little-known song by a well-known artist that you love
I tease my partner all the time about the fact that she seems to love the "B-side" songs more than than releases themselves, but the truth is that she's introduced me to lots of really good songs that way. So what unreleased/b-side/etc. song by a not-obscure artist do you love? :hi:

My contribution is "Only When I Lose Myself" by Depeche Mode.

3. Brooklyn....Steely Dan
A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

His lady's aching
To bring a body down
She daily preaches
On where she wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

A case of aces
Done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

4. "Four", by Miles Davis
...dunno if jazz tunes are regarded as "songs"--but the original 1953 version of "Four" has one of the very best soloes in jazz history...just a great piece...

5. Hugh Cornwell "Within you or Without You"
Kind of a play on words with U2's "with you or without you"

This guy is so under rated.

8. Radiohead has a lot of great unreleased or little known songs...
1.) Killer Cars
2.) A Reminder
3.) Bishop's Robes
4.) Meeting in the Aisle
5.) True Love Waits
6.) Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong


All of those songs are awesome and emotional.

9. Bob Marley - Pimpa's Paradise
There's no video for the original song on Youtube so here is a version done by Marley offspring Damian and Stephen (two of the 1,000,000,000 kids that Marley supposedly fathered):

11. Don't have a link but Willie Nelson did the best version of Unchained Melody that I have ever heard
Edited on Sun May-04-08 05:53 PM by irkthesmirk
It is on his Stardust album and you should try to find it if you can. IMO, he OWNS that song!
