Ok, like it says on the tin, post a song you think is amazing that you reckon most people haven't heard, might make a good thread. (although admitadly a pretty vague, unoriginal one, but fukk it).

LOVE IT.. LOVE IT... LOVE IT!.

EDIT: Excellent choice kawaii.. but unfortunately Justin Hawkins of The Darkness has ruined that song for me FOREVER!

Nightwish · 24-02-2008 2:39am

Great song choice Kawaii. I always thought it was a woman who sang it

Basq · 24-02-2008 3:14am

Following Mr Alan's recommendation of Ryan Adams... an amazing song and should be watched for the video alone (filmed 4 days before 9/11 with the Twin Towers in the background):

Longview - When You Sleep

Stars go blue-Ryan Adams:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EwVJD0k2r0

basically anything by Ryan Adams is amazing (except the Rock N Roll album, we dont talk about that

)

tech77 · 24-02-2008 6:07am

Some random obscure(ish) ones off the top of my head:

Nick Cave's Straight to you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yaz_2ayVZBg

Pixies' Velouria:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHhox4_SeHQ

Wheat's Don't i hold You (weirdish video though):

I was at the Band of Horses gig the other night (it was brilliant!! Check them out) and they played this at the end:

It's a Ronnie Wood song called ''Act Together''. Class.

The live and acoustic version of Joseph Arthur - In The Sun. Its beautiful....perfection.

Bubs101 · 24-02-2008 11:24am

So people post up Ryan Adams videos here and yet I'm the only one who votes for Gold to get album of the week in the alt and indie forum sham. Also, Stars go Blue is a really famous song after One Tree Hill centered an entire season on it

Great song alright, but most people have heard it. Thanks to Scrubs and the like..!

re Sparks

No1 singles cannot count as obscure!

Didn't know he did a cover... Don't think I want to know...

Mike

Only reached number 2

And besides, that was over 30 years ago. I certainly hadn't heard of it until recently, and then only by chance. Don't know anyone else my age familiar with it (except the people I've forced it upon

).

Where's YOUR song??

mike65 · 24-02-2008 12:51pm

I'll think of something and post it later

Mike.

A Wave is Rolling by The Innocence Mission.

I've only just discovered them myself, I find the singer's voice quite strange and beautiful.

Dregon · 24-02-2008 5:36pm

Theres no video to the song, and this is the only good quality one I could find:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmHwOBarRJo

The Music - Walls Get Smaller.

Zaph · 24-02-2008 6:36pm

Girl in a Box - Blake Babies (not the original video, don't think it had one as it wasn't released as a single)

Wonderfully icy in that distinctive early 80s way.

I agree, basquille. Justin Hawkins made absolute sh1t of This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us. For shame.

Earthhorse · 24-02-2008 11:47pm

Ooh, cool thread idea.

Bobby Conn - Never Get Ahead

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm9dzLxLvxc

Naughty By Nature - Everything's Gonna Be Alright

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQaocgjLqo

Eels - Electro Shock Blues

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt91UYAu8wk

And one more Eels song, just because it's my sig...

Eels - P.S. You Rock My World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh8xq6Dv0Z0

Serpentine · 25-02-2008 12:16am

Mazzy Star, Blue Flower or Halah

Also Kyuss Demon Cleaner and Gardenia for something totally different

Peyton Manning · 25-02-2008 4:09am

The only song I would even consider playing at my funeral if I had to, this song is not known by enough people. Its just beautiful. Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me.

Call Me Jimmy · 25-02-2008 6:32am

I'm am not sure how well known on boards this is, but in general, people haven't heard of it.
Just amazing solo I think. First half is where he's found out his ma is dead. Second half he finds out she's alive.
