Most underrated songs of all time

[Randolphkeys]

Glad I saw this guy play this song at Shooters on the Water before he passed.


Also blown away by the story behind this song. Lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie about Dust Bowl farmers he interviewed. A California Star is a quilting pattern. Wilco and Billy Bragg were trusted to bring his unrecorded lyrics to life. Just everything good about Alt Country. Perfect summer listening:

 

[Benway]

Warren Zevon's dad was Cleveland/Las Vegas mobster Mickey Cohen's accountant.

You can look it up.

 

[Arketebel]

In that case, I'm going to put up this:


Phenomenal song about having hope while acknowledging life has struggles. The album it's on, Simple Things, has held up very well since it was released 20 years ago. Zero 7's 2004 album, When It Falls, is another very good one. I still break out those CDs when I want to listen to good quality, wholesome music that isn't overly sentimental or cheesy.

I was not familiar with Zero 7 until a couple years ago. I can't get enough of this type of music now.

This song is so good, it got me banned from bringing my guitar on camping trips by my family.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Glad I saw this guy play this song at Shooters on the Water before he passed.

Damn - I saw him at the old Peabody's Down Under. Myself, one of my buddies, and his sister had the table right next to the stage, drank, and listened to Zevon. Great night.

 

[Ohio]

Heard this song the other day for the first time in years. Absolute banger

 

[Otsego Mar]

This track is absolutely wild. You can occasionally hear it on classic rock radio stations. A lot of their stuff is real chill, but this is a banger.

 

[KI4MVP]

I head that on the radio the other day and had to ask Siri what song was playing. I thought, who's singing that Prince song I never heard before. Some great vocals on that.

It’s my #1 kareoke dream song!

 

[The Oi]

This one gets under the radar.

Interesting story behind it and a super fun song. Excellent video. Siouxsie is also a badass.

 

[The Oi]

Out of all of the great Beach Boys songs, I think this is the best written and connect the most with it. Really good one.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Out of all of the great Beach Boys songs, I think this is the best written and connect the most with it. Really good one.

I'd never heard that before, but it's a very good song. Really crappy production, though. Needs a remix or...something.

 

[Criznit]

There was a moment I couldn't get enough of this song, much better than the original IMO.

 

[The Oi]

I'd never heard that before, but it's a very good song. Really crappy production, though. Needs a remix or...something.

More experimental feel for sure.

You an REM guy?

UP was a great and very underrated album by them. Can’t help but think At My Most Beautiful was inspired by Feel Flows. It’s like a part 2.


Full Wall of Sound effect.
