Share an obscure song from a hugely famous band/musician

I'll also offer this up from John Denver (will be played at my final celebration of life which will be an epic party/bar crawl...on my tab)

The first time I saw Pat Green was 1995 at Bash Riprocks. I was a sophomore in high school and some how we got in. I threw up on my shirt. They called me Pukie for the rest of the night.

Also has the GOAT Christmas song imo.

My favorite and I swear could have been written about my family. (as all of us with west Texas/Panhandle roots will attest. Good clean living) I point out certain relatives every time.

My parents are from Dumas. Family spread from Dumas to Borger to Tulia to Plainview to Muleshoe and Lubbock. Hell, we just throw in Hereford and Merkel. We're everywhere.

My parents were the only ones to move to Dallas and raise their girls. (With stints in Lubbock and Cedar Park before heading back to DFW)

No better people than panhandle/WT people. And we're hilarious.

An under the radar tune from one of my favorite bands, who happen to be from my hometown of Spartanburg, S.C. This from a live recording at Nassau Colliseum, The Marshall Tucker Band - If I Could See You One More Time-



Love that song!

Love that song!

I went to WCU. MTB was a staple on our party song list.

Haven't listened to them in years. Thanks for this.

Enjoy! Not sure how much of their stuff you know, but besides their big hits, check out In My Own Way. Another really good song.

Last January my girlfriend and I visited Chicago, where we saw my favorite blues musician, Buddy Guy, play his club, and got to meet him. Such an awesome trip. The next weekend we visited my parents in Spartanburg and went to a small local concert being put on by a guy we know. The MTB drummer, Paul Riddle played with them. My Dad knows him, because they all went to HS together, and he was married to my uncle's sister for many years...anyway, Dad introduced us all, and it was hilarious to see my wine-drunk girlfriend all star struck. She looked like a kid on Christmas morning, probably the same I did in Chicago lmao. We don't meet alot of famous people haha.

so cool.

I know most of their stuff. Just been a while since I've listened.

MTB and Drivin and Cryin were guaranteed in the girls' pre-party rotation. (Which was also the longest, most epic skip-bo tournament in history. It was the early 90s in Cullowhee. Everything was a drinking game.)

My girls wanted to teach me 'asshole' and 'bullshit' over Christmas break. I let them and amazed them with my beginners luck and ability to catch on so fast.

Have seen Drivin & Cryin a couple of times at the Windjammer at Isle of Palms. Loved those guys in the late 90's. Fly Me Couragous is a great one, and though overplayed, I still jam out Straight to Hell pretty often.

Straight to Hell will get me singing every time.

Now I'm on a furious download spree of memory lane.

Pretty sure I've seen most of those homes in the video in person. Was in Bethune a couple of months before the world lost its mind. And I tend to take the back and dirt roads. I can still drive you down the dirt road from Western to Highlands. Did it a couple of years ago on a round about route to Florida and freaked my kids out. They thought I had lost my mind and got them lost in the middle of nowhere.

Won't be too long til I'm back out in Western Carolina. Probably SC.

 

[GarnetPild]

Another deep track from Led Zeppelin. Good vocals by Plant, especially so late in the 1970's.

Not obscure to those who know, but obscure to those who aren’t.

 

[MVTPatriot]

Maybe Sir Elton's best tune in my mind and I don't believe it was ever released as a single. It's off of Tumbleweed Connection from 1970. Early Elton is fantastic.



Currently spinning...

I'm partial to the following. When the discussions pop up about EJ best song, I always bring this up. Allot of times you get a, "Huh?"

Skip-Bo, now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. My mom is pretty proud of her vintage original sets from Brownfield.

I feel like that is an accurate description of every WSP song.

 

[Tedneckerson]

 

[Peach-head]

This one could be considered obscure for the uninitiated. SRV had some success with this tune as a cover but Jimi wrote it and it kicks ass.

Derek and the dominoes (Eric Clapton/Duane allman) also covered it.

Spoon or Christmas Song, Dave Matthews Band!

i still think this may have been Jimmy's greatest guitar album

In '98 Scott Weiland released a solo album "12 Bar Blues". Here's one of the poppier cuts.

Paul called it the best Beatles remake ever

Enjoying this thread. Some great tunes in here. Good job, OP.

The Grove of Eglantine by Styx. Great song. I’m attaching a YouTube video for it, I think. I’m not real tech savvy.

Very underrated album. I'll add these two good ones from Presence-

 

[wdnole]

This song was just revealed to me in the past week, but I can’t stop jamming to it:

One of just of few of their later "come-back" album songs that I thought held up to their previous, hi-hi standards.

 

[wdnole]

The Who's best album, full of classics but this one is under the radar. I recently digitally bought the album, heard this song for the first time in at least 10 years... awesome little song, only problem is it is pretty short:

I see several mentions of Steely Dan in here. I discovered a couple of great songs after recently watching Classic Albums- Aja. I think it is on Prime, but found it on youtube for anyone interested. Basically it is Fagin and Becker sitting there with a soundboard, going through the album song by song for an hour. Good shit. Great album.

Here is the vid. I cut ahead to an interesting part with their drummer for Home at Last, a really good song I had not heard. The drummer plays and talks & it cuts back and forth between he and Donald & Walter for about 2-3 minutes in a cool little segment. Hell of a drummer, apparently.

This reminds me that I haven't listened to Gaye's album, What's Going On, in a long time. I didn't discover it until later in life, found it and love it. Used to listen on repeat.

I’ve just seen a face by the Beatles
