OK...I am going to post one more...this thread has me on a music dive this morning...which I love but I gotta force myself to get some stuff done today! Here is another Billy Joel song that is awesome that doesn't get thrown in with his "classic hits"...and to be fair, I am sure there are many high quality songs that Billy Joel has produced that would fit that description! "While the Night is Still Young":

Many come to mind, but I’ve been digging this (Danger List - John Mellencamp‘s American Fool) lately after not listening to the record for a long time.

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.

Mona Lisa’s and mad matters is my favorite Elton song. Absolutely love it.

Fans of The Police know that some of their best work is their instrumental stuff (for which I think they won some Grammys?) The instrumental, Reggatta de Blanc off of their second album of the same name is brilliant, absolutely one of their best. The few "lyrics" are gibberish so I assume that excluded it from airplay in the late 70s / early 80s when it was released.

Great drumming on that one by Stewart Copeland as well. Love The Police...

Hey! Johnny Park is one of my favorite tracks off The Colour and the Shape. Taylor Hawkins' intro pulls me in every time.

Yes! One of my favorite Foos songs. I was really hoping they'd play it when I saw them at Wrigley, but, no dice.

I'll add another EJ one: "Amoreena" off the album Tumbleweed Connection. It was played in the intro to the movie, "Dog Day Afternoon". Great piano line...

I saw an old interview on YouTube where this dude was trying to get SC to dis on groups using drum machines and he was like "Oh yes, I use a drum machine (with his drums) on (the studio version of) Reggatta de Blanc"...innovativor...
