So many possibilities. A couple from each decade...

"Moonlight Mile" - Stones
"Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey" - Beatles
Just about anything by the Velvet Underground ("All Tomorrow's Parties", "What Goes On", "Pale Blue Eyes", "Rock and Roll", etc.)
"Marquee Moon" - Television
"Astral Weeks" - Van Morrison
"Begin the Begin" - REM
"Don't Want to Know if You Are Lonely" - Husker Du
"Gold Soundz" - Pavement
"**** And Run" - Liz Phair
"Lost Cause" - Beck
"Tell Me in the Morning" - Cold War Kids (my cell phone ring tone)

The OP had "Sometimes" by James, which is a favorite of my mine. "Mojo Pin" by Jeff Buckley is a good one, also.

I would say that any song from an underrated artist is underrated (like Drive-By Truckers or Lucero), so I'll go underrated songs from reasonably popular artists...

"Sway" Rolling Stones
"Sweet Virginia" Rolling Stones
"Rebels" Tom Petty
"Straight into Darkness" Tom Petty
"Had Me a Real Good Time" The Faces
"Little Mascara" The Replacements
"I Could Have Lied" RHCP
"Come Back" Pearl Jam
"Satan's Bed" Pearl Jam
"Barstool Blues" Neil Young and Crazy Horse
"Time to Kill" The Band
"Ophelia" The Band
"School" Nirvana
"Rudderless" The Lemonheads
"Cherry Bomb" John Cougar Mellencamp
"Into the Mystic" Van Morrison
"Next Year" Foo Fighters
"February Stars" Foo Fighters

I love the country-rock Stones. Exile (especially the first 9 or ten songs + "Shine a Light") rules! I downloaded Five Guys Walk Into a Bar (Faces box-set) a while back. Very underrated band. Cool list.

The Background, Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind
Let Down - Radiohead
Cowboy Dan, Trailer Trash- Modest Mouse
The whole "Clarity" album by Jimmy Eat World

"Satan's Bed" such a raw song off the best Pearl Jam album "Vitalogy". Nice choice, bro.

[Stumpy]

"In the Meantime" - Spacehog
"Nautical Disaster" - The Tragically Hip

[flynnhicks03]

The Background, Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind
Let Down - Radiohead
Cowboy Dan, Trailer Trash- Modest Mouse
The whole "Clarity" album by Jimmy Eat World
I am Mine - Pearl Jam
Destrokk - MGMT
Dancefloors - My Morning Jacket

Wow, "The Background" and "Motorcycle Drive-By" are sweet! "God of Wine" and "I Want You" are among my favorites from that album, too. A lot of people dismiss Third Eye Blind as top-40 alternative crap, but I love their first two albums (especially their debut). The first half of MMJ It Still Moves is amazing. Some old school Modest Mouse (I really like "Polar Opposites"). Nice list!

[Alswelk]

Falling Down by Muse (thanks, OP) is an amazing song that is totally forgotten about. The last time through the chorus-ish part when he puts the gravel in the melody...omg

And is there a bad Nick Drake tune? (Again thanks, OP)

My own list:
Lady Stardust by David Bowie
John the Baptist by Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Tug of War by Paul McCartney (actually, basically this whole album except Ebony and Ivory)
Shrinking Universe by Muse (It's a b-side, and better than some of their singles)

[ISUKyro]

A couple that are going around and around in my head for a long time:

Machinehead "Halo"
(HED)p.e. "Hear and Now"



Machine Head "Halo" - a bit of language maybe nsfw
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-SohL691kc"]YouTube- Machine Head - Halo @ Sonisphere Knebworth Pro Shot[/ame]

(hed)p.e. "Hear and Now" - also a bit of language may make it nsfw
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JatvIj52L3E"]YouTube- Hed PE Here and Now[/ame]



if the bit of language in the videos is a problem, mod can delete or ask me to delete - no worries. Just wana share some good tunes!

Exile is the greatest Stones album...hands down. The only "well known" songs on the album are Happy and Tumbling Dice, and most people have never heard anything else from it. "Let it Loose" is one of may all time favorite Stones songs.

Five Guys...sets the standard for all other box sets. (personal note....buy it...music this good deserves to be paid for....if you want to download music...download the crap you wouldn't pay for in the first place ).... The Faces may be the most underrated group of all time (thats a whole other thread)....check out Bad 'n' Ruin, You're My Girl, I Can Feel the Fire, (I Know) I'm Losing You....

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer songs from one iTunes to another computer's iTunes?

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer songs from one iTunes to another computer's iTunes?

There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this - my preferred method is just to browse to the iTunes directory (where the files are stored) and import, but Apple just introduced "Home Sharing" a few months ago:

Apple - iTunes - What's new - Explore the new iTunes.

It's an option inside of your iTunes.
