Favorite/best not hugely popular song

[dahliaclone]

What are one or two of your favorite songs from artists or bands that aren’t their best known or weren’t released as singles?

I am a massive Fleetwood Mac fan. Gold Dust Woman is hands down their best song and one of the best written songs in history in my opinion. Just brilliant.



I also think Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters is a wildly unknown but fantastic track by Elton John.

So you're looking for "not so popular" songs from popular artists, is that correct?

Yeah. Mainstream artists or bands correct.

My favorite Journey song is "Stone in Love."

Tapioca Tundra by Monkees.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Warrant.

Ratt is the best hair metal band. Great song and the video is 80’s hair perfection.

Free Bird. Sorry, just required anywhere someone is doing music.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

"The Trees"

Rush

Pearcy played on a free stage at the Fair this year.

I always liked this Black Keys song over some of their popular ones.

David Gates (lead singer of Bread, with hits like Make It With You, If, Guitar Man, It Don’t Matter To Me) had a big solo hit in 1978 with Goodbye Girl. He followed that up with this song, which hit number 30 and stuck in my head that year as a distant, recurring memory … because the song literally disappeared from existence for the past 40 years.

Anyway, I find it insanely catchy.

This is a much better rendition of "If". When a man lights a smoke at the beginning of a music video we know it's a high class event.

I said songs that aren’t their best known/or weren’t released as a single. Might have worded it weird. It’s not both. It can be either or.

But according to Billboard it wasn’t a single.

Fleetwood Mac | Biography, Music & News | Billboard

A freak collision between a British blues combo and an American folk-rock duo, Fleetwood Mac churned out some of the 1970s and '80s' most indelible Hot 100 hits, like "Landslide," "Go Your Own Way"…

Popular when it was released in mid/late 80s...but don't feel it gets lumped in with his monster hits from the 70s/early 80s but feel it is one of Billy Joel's best songs:

Got it, if we were talking B sides it's hard to beat Hey Hey What Can I Do by Led Zeppelin, which was the B side of Immigrant Song. It wasn't released on an album which I presume made it's airplay limited. Great tune.

That’s a great one. Love that song.
