Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

shhhhhh. you don't say that ... out loud.

 

Ehh, it's 5 am. No one's paying attention.

 

<shaking head from side-to-side>

i understand the need to be honest, BUT, damn dude, they are going to wake up.

 

Ahh, my cheesy taste in music is less of a secret than my prowess, or lack thereof, in the sack. I'm numb to the embarrassment.

 

I've thrown this one out here on the board before -- hell, I might have done it on this thread back a couple weeks -- but the Carpenters' "Rainy Days and Mondays" kills me dead.

 

Hey, I could go on.

 

No Trains to Heaven, Be Bop Deluxe
A Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon and Garfunkel, not the cover
Ocean Breeze, Pablo Cruise
Rock and Roll Medley, Junior Brown (Live)

 

I'll see you that and raise you:
Respect - Otis Redding (not Aretha Franklin's cover)

 

Ah, Pablo Cruise, the ultimate guilty pleasure.
--Whatcha Gonna Do?
--Don't Want to Live Without It.
--Love Will Find a Way.

 

Ocean Breeze runs 12 minutes. Lots of piano, which I like. I don't think vocals come in until 8 minutes or so. It's not like their other stuff. It's more an instrumental piece.

Another Night Alone, Heartsfield

 

Bahn-Bahn-Bahn auf der Autobahn.

Or something like that.

Kraftwerk ... a complete album side.

 

A little dated and you have to be in the mood, but two feet of snow will do that to you. Some Montrose:

Rock Candy
Bad Motor Scooter
Space Station Number 5
