Best songs that don't get enough attention

[Cyclonepride]

Lesser known/later hair band, but lyrically this song kills it

 

[Althetuna]

Cactus: Evil

Not sure why this wasn't a mainstay on classic rock stations.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Ah Leah had some air time years ago. His best that didn't get any attention was "Shock Treatment".

 

[KneeGusto]

 

[t-noah]

Underappreciated, by me..
Very melodic, even though it's about breaking up

 

[t-noah]

Mad Season in general is underrated IMO. River of Deceit is another great tune.

Agree. Talented musicians / band. Substance abuse caused sad early ending to two of the four, including lead singer, Layne Staley.

Everything that's not in English, for starters. Like this one from "Becoming Astrid", a biographic film about the author of Pippi Longstocking.

[Chorus]
Run, dare to run
Through death into life
Run, dare to run
Through the darkness into the light

[Verse 1]
Take the opportunity to live, help yourself
Feel that the summer is yours
Take the opportunity to live, take a step forward
Or backwards if you want
Take the opportunity to live, stand in the middle of it
Meet the storms with a scream

[Chorus]
Run, dare to run
Through death into life
Run, dare to run
Through the darkness into the light

[Verse 2]
Don't despair, but you can cry
And see that the future can forgive
Don't blacken the whole board you received
Allow other colors to fit occasionally
Don't regret it, but you can learn
Then you walk the maze by heart

[Chorus]
Run, dare to run
Through death into life
Run, dare to run
Through the darkness into the light

[Bridge]
Run, dare to run
Over the gap, into the danger

[Chorus]
Run, dare to run
Through death into life
Run, dare to run
Through the darkness into the light
Run, dare to run
Through death into life

Interesting! Could open a whole new genre for most of us, Non-english music. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

In today's world, thinking about this song. Great song btw.

Corey Hart – Truth Will Set You Free

Ah, no, no / Ah, no, no / Na, na, na / Na, na, na / Na, na, na / Truth will set you free / Stood before the morning's light / And ask myself am I trapped again / The more I try and

Isbell

The live version of the Isbell original at the Ryman is my favorite song of all time

Thanks for the 'education'!

 

[t-noah]

The vibrato is a little much on the intro, but I like.

 

[pourcyne]

Not a song as much as the global montages done by "Playing for Change".

On this same topic sometimes there are huge bands with tons of popular songs, but I tend to really like songs that don’t get as much attention. For example, three of my favorite AIC songs are “Am I inside?”, “A little bitter,” and “Head Creeps.” My favorite Soundgarden song by a mile is “Like Suicide.”

The Mad Season album is very cool. I really like November Hotel, which is the instrumental.

"Shock Treatment"

Donnie Iris and the song, Shock Treatment, is a little like "The Cars", before the Cars, well, same time frame really. This one from 1980, I think.

 

[mapnerd]

I’m surprised The Muffs didn’t get more radio time back in the day.

 

[t-noah]

This thread was fun. Here's a band, and they got a lot of attention during their time, but now they seem underappreciated. Awesome group. Funky Scots!

 

[tm3308]

Low key one of my favorite Foo Fighters tracks. The Colour and the Shape is packed to the gills with great songs, and this one is right behind the hits for me.

 

[Cyclonepride]

This one really has its hooks in me. Just seems like the perfect video for the feel of the song. Kind of dystopian look at transhumanism. So simple, but profound.

I remember Mad season being a thing, but none of that sounds familiar.

I'll go back farther.

One of my first concerts was Head East at the surf in Clear Lake mid 70’s.

One of my first concerts was Head East at the surf in Clear Lake mid 70’s.

Do any decent bands every go to the surf anymore? Id hate to see that thing die.
