That is a good list

Stone Temple Pilots - Army Ants
Aerosmith - Sick as a Dog

I could go on and on…

Your Blue Room - U2 This is England - The Clash Walking in the Wind - Traffic

I thought I was the only person in the U.S. who bought The Clash's Cut the Crap album. *grin*

was also the first to pop in my head. but also some that could be on the list: Drain You - Nirvana Everything is Easy - 3rd Eye Blind Half Light II - No Celebration - Arcade Fire Spirit of '76 - The Alarm (the Alarm is underappreciated in general IMO) So Lonely - The Police

Wow, The Alarm. I never thought anyone else noticed them.

Brings back memories.

I played “rain in the summertime” in the car and my 20 something year old kids were both asking me what song this was. The replacements is another 80s band that are hidden gems.

I saw the Alarm open for U2 on the pier in Manhattan, back in 1983 (I think).

One of his best albums that doesn’t get near the credit it deserves

....good threads that pop up from time to time, but I am never sure what is meant by "unappreciated".
Unappreciated by whom?

Anywho, I'll put a couple of Who songs out there:
Let's See Action
Gettin' in Tune
I Can See For Miles

Also, an album by Spirit that never got it's due:
Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus..

Although I am not sure how well known Spirit is at this point in time. So they might not qualify!

normally have some very unheard of songs from popular bands from the 60s/70/80/90s.

Lots of dead/phish and other popular bands from the eras had great songs that were b-sides.....heard space hog/311 on NBC recently too, lol

One of my favorite bands. Seen them or Mike Peters at least 15 times. Always a blast.

A few that I find underappreciated in my circles (like it's just my opinion, man):

Pearl Jam - Animal
Living Color - Nothingness
Steely Dan - King of the World
The Replacements - Little Mascara
D'Angelo - The Charade
Bomba Estereo - El Alma y El Cuerpo

“Nobody’s In Love This Year”
“Reconsider Me”
Never properly recorded by him, only a demo, but covered by his son and Jakob Dylan: “Studebaker.”

-Home and Dry (Gerry Rafferty)
-Lawyers, Guns, and Money (Warren Zevon)
-Street Queen (Bruce Springsteen)

Post Blackmore.
A lot of the Steve Morse stuff does not get the credit it is due.

Loosen my strings
A touch away
A simple song

Iron Maiden
The Clairvoyant

Ozzy
You can't kill rock n roll
Center of eternity

Queensryche
Screaming in digital

Scorpions
I'm leaving you
Coming home

So many more......

:thumbsup:

That bee girl video was a career limiting move. This also reminded me of a guy who was talking about how his son helped him transfer his records to CD because he listened to all this obscure stuff no one ever heard of. Turns out the record he was talking about was Purple Rain.

Galaxy is a good song by them too. They were an underrated band if you listen to their albums a lot of good stuff. Toes across the floor is another one of many..

Shannon Hoon RIP.

New girl video made them a ton of money.

I love listening to him on GnR’s Don’t Cry. His and Axls voices sound good together.

I always get a kick out of the French hornist showing up late, but they started the session without him. But, yes - a favorite of mine that was under appreciated.

Pretenders - Up the Neck

Beatles - Long,long, long


Up the Neck live - ( New Window )

Steve Miller - Dime a Dance Romance (Sailer Album).

I called in a top Baltimore oldies station requesting it and the DJ said she had never heard it.

Needed to separate this to add the link
