Your Favorite *Non-Popular* Song?

[Cobalt]

Crash Diet from the Unwanted Illusions bootleg.

 

[Cobalt]

So I guess you're all mindless drones, slaves to mainstream crap?

 

[Rip the Jacker]

Hmm...

I don't have a song but I do have an album. It's not underground but it's not full of mainstream crap either.

Nas - Illmatic

Even though it was made in 1994, I still listen to it because it beats 99.99% of the sh!t that's out now.
I also listen to his other albums...

It Was Written
I Am..
Nastradamus
Stillmatic
God's Son
Lost Tapes
Street's Disciple

May not be underground, but pure quality and almost every song is a damn classic.

 

[Squisher]

Hey, Hey What Can I Do by Led Zeppelin

 

[BannedTroll]

Don't know if it was ever popular or not but Talking Seattle Grunge Blues or something like that by Todd Snyder

Doesn't have to be underground.

 

[Baked]

Sadder Day by Fleming & John from the The Way We Are album.

 

[nageov3t]

way too many to chose from, but I've had "Peacocks Skeleton With Crooked Feathers" by The Blood Brothers running through my head for the past couple weeks. I saw them in concert shortly before Christmas and they totally rocked the place.

 

[KingNothing]

Right now it's Diary of a Love Song by a A Perfect Circle.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

B- side of "The Bends" from Radiohead.

In my opinion that album is a complete album; no B-side there!

 

[shimsham]

La La by ashlee simpson

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Human Nature by Michael Jackson

 

[Orsorum]

Coldplay - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

todd snider is where its at. You should get his new album though it has a song called "Conservative Christian, Right Wing, Republican, Straight, White, American Males" which is fantastic.

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

Anything by Tonedeff or Cunninglynguistics.

You guys should check out a song called "Dying Nation" and "Rain". Very interesting and thought-provoking songs.

Exactly.
Just because a band is unsigned it doesn't make them better than vintage Peter Gabriel or modern Grant-Lee Phillips.

Just because Sarah McLachlan's cover of "Solsbury Hill" is hard to find it isn't better than "Hold On" or "Ben's Song."

The Trio Bulgarka album I have is pleasant, but much less enjoyable than their appearance on Kate Bush's "Rocket's Tail."

90% of mainstream music is crap, but so is at least 90% of the music by obscure ultra-indie artists.

 

[chuckywang]

Not sure if it's my favorite, but I like a bunch of songs off Tracks, a four CD release of rare Bruce Springsteen recordings.

Some quality cuts:

Seaside Bar Song
Thundercrack
Janie, Don't You Lose Heart
Brothers Under The Bridge

 

[Ketteringo]

Ben Folds - The Ascent of Stan

 

[imported_Lucifer]

Demon-Night of the Demon. Hardly anyone knows about this 80's metal band.

Agreed

 

[JetBlack69]

Right now it's either Nirvana - Ain't It A Shame, or Nirvana - Verse Chorus Verse.
