Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

A sleeper of a song, much in the vein of the Eagles' "Take It To The Limit" ... "Nothing To Hide" by Poco.

 

They were just a little too wussy for his tastes. He also hated, with a passion, the way Live's frontman sounded with that twangy bangy screecher voice. Everyone had a like and dislike. I like some of Live's stuff.

 

"Witch Hunt" -- Rush
"Countdown" -- Rush
"Into the Mystic" -- Van Morrison
"Tupelo Honey" --Van Morrison
"Blind Vision" -- Blancmange
"Biko" -- Peter Gabriel
"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" -- Elton John
"The Last in Line" -- Dio
"The Zoo" -- The Scorpions
"Rudie Can't Fail" -- The Clash
"California Dreamin" -- The Mamas and the Papas (turning in my man card...)

These, presented from the top of my head.

 

That sounds like a personal problem.

 

"What I got they used to call the blues." Breaks my heart.

 

Not to threadjack, but songs that make me think about my dad (all are among these gems on this thread):

"2:10 6:18" - Jimmie Rodgers

"Seasons in the Sun" - Terry Jacks

"The Living Years" - Mike + The Mechanics

"Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)" - The Alan Parsons Project

"Goodbye Stranger" - Supertramp

 

The Eagles' "Sad Cafe" is awesome. I'd take that over the overrated "Hotel California" any day.

"Another Tricky Day" by the Who

Among Bad Company songs, I've always liked "Rock Steady" and "Fade Away"

 

Eagles: "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"

Supertramp: "Bloody Well Right"

 

The Living Years for you, my friend ...

 

How nice that nobody has dissed someone else's picks.

 

"Songbird" - Olivia Newton-John (I mean it - pun only slightly intended).
