Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

I find it hard to believe that you've never heard "Rock and Roll Dreams."

 

"I've got five pockets in my overalls
Got five pockets in my overalls
I got two on the front, one on the bib
And two in the ordinary, everyday, regular place
In the back."

 

"You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma"
David Frizzell and Shelly West

 

I'd nominate all of "Music From Big Pink" and "The Band."
And "Full House,' the Geils Band's first live one.
Also, Frankie by Mississippi John Hurt and My Home Is In The Delta from Muddy.

 

Fucking great live album with killer shit like "First I Look At The Purse", "Pack Fair And Square", "Lookin' For A Love" and "Whammer Jammer", one of the greatest instrumentals ever.

Blow Your Face Out is another great J. Geils live album.

 

Lucinda Williams
"Just Wanted to See You So Bad"
"Big Red Sun Blues"
"Changed the Locks"
"Passionate Kisses"
"Sweet Old World"
"Lines Around Your Eyes"
"Can't Let Go"
"Joy"
"Right in Time"
"Metal Firecracker"

 

The Come As You Are video is a classic. He jumps the whole fucking time!

I wish I'd seen J. Geils in concert. Sounds like they were the live band of the era.

 

--Wait for You, Bonham
--Cumbersome, Seven Mary Three
--Don't Be Late, Saga
--I'll Drink to You, Duke Jupiter

 

How this song didn't win Song of the Year back in the day is beyond me. Great great song to drive to.

 

Jason Bonham and his boys were decent for sure in the two albums they did together (JB also had a Jason Bonham Band album that was different people)

I was always partial to "Dreams" from the "Disregard for Timekeeping" album. At the start of the song the guy is ticked off at something and the song comes rushing in soon after. It's pretty good.

 

Good calls. I'll see your Cumbersome and raise you River's Edge.

Seven Mary Three was the subject of one of the most amusing photos I've ever seen. Details did a story on them after their debut album "American Standard" came out. The band was pictured, backsides to the cameras, at a bunch of urinals.
