Heya Mofo's ! This here is a thread idea i've been mullen over for awhile. This list is a collection of songs that In my opinion were either overlooked when released or largely forgotten through the sands of time.

Before there was Sattelite Radio, Before there were mp3's there was the venerable mixed tape.

The following somewhat loose ranking of the 100 tunes may bring back memories for some, while be a first listen for others. In some cases they are one hit wonders, in others they are by established well known bands but appeared on earlier albums.

A good number of them may have been popular back in the day, but are just never heard on the radio. For the most part teh 60's, 70's and 80's will dominate.

One caveat, this thread is for the songs themselves, I concede many of the videos may either be fan made or downright cheesy. When possible a live rendition will be chosen.

anyways..enkoy..!


100.

Boulevard- Never Give Up (1988)

Boulevard was a short-lived band that came out of nowhere during the Gold-rush of much-music (Canada's MTV equiv) early days.

London Quireboys- its 7:O'clock- (1989)

Donnie Iris - Ah Leah (1980)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH5Arbm47IQ

91.

Neat thing bout this next one ( and a few more yet to appear), I had never heard it before, about 15 years ago I went on a Cassette tape buying spree when CD's took over, I still had a tape deck in both my car and Truck and so was easy to take a flyer on unknown bands and compilations for 25 cents at garage sales and such.

The Outsiders- Time Won't Let Me (1966)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y523DZuN_s

90.

The Tubes- Out of the Business (1982)

The Previous album, the complete backward principle was huge, but for whatever reason when the followup was released, "She's A Beauty" was the only track to get action.

Harlequin- Innocence (1980)

Reo Speedwagonish with a dash of Journey

Yes Winter, its Radio play that i refer to in terms of overlooked and underplayed.

One of my greatest pet peeves is "classic rock" stations are for the most part now part of a giant chain, at least here in Canada, so the playlist varies little from coast to coast.

90. KISS- Plaster Caster (1977)

I like the Donnie Ivory tune too.

The London Quireboys seem like a nice little blues band posing as a hair metal band.

God, the eighties are hilarious. The hair, the clothes, the lighter than air attitude.

11-03-10, 02:50 AM
When i was growing up, "oldies radio" was the 50's and early 60's It seems the only time you hear these sorts of songs is if they are covered by a mainstream act. Part of getten older i guess.

76. Sir Douglas Quintet- She's about a Mover (1965)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qST-Dvzn1o&feature=fvst

75. Beau Brummels- Laugh Laugh (1964)

This post, I'll specifically adress a major peeve of mine. Each of the Bands showcased here have a ton of excellent material to draw from, yet a handful of tunes are played, re-played, played again then played some more.

Prime Example
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf900/f993/f99368bif16.jpg

While Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog and Rock and Roll are on perma-loop, gems go un-noticed.
71. Led Zeppelin - Going to California (1971)

The song is reportedly about singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell, with whom Plant and Page were both infatuated. In live performances of the song, Plant would often say the name "Joni" after this stanza (which is thought to have referenced Mitchell's 1967 composition "I Had a King"): To find a Queen without a King, they say she plays guitar and cries, and sings"

70. Aerosmith- Adams Apple (1975)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUz-7oWaOV4

69. Steve Miller Band- Living in the USA (1968)

If you are, or know someone that is 35 or older, I guarantee they owned at least one copy in one format or another of

11-04-10, 06:05 PM
Gotta love that motown- sound.

I'll be the first to admit, it was the Blues Brothers movie in 1980 that first got me hooked on bluesy based boogie and the sweet vocal stylings of what is commenly known as the motown sound. Which pleased my father to no end, as there was a compromise for the record player time ( he was a big band era guy, that didn't "get" alice cooper..for some reason..lol)Nowadays we get watered down vanilla versions with flavour of the month backstreet boy type fluff that has more to do with image and swag sales imo.

Not to say that it was any different back in the day, i know lots of girls that swooned over derek the drummer of Bay City Roller fame when i was a kid, so i concede my bias.

anyways with that in mind..the next 10 spots are covering the acts that you may not know, though you may well know the song. I love the Temptations and the Four Tops, but they are well known and are played often, which is why they do not appear in this section.

68. Sam & Dave- You got me hummin -(1967)
Sam & Dave are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and are Grammy Award and multiple Gold Record award winning artists. According to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Sam & Dave were the most successful soul duo, and brought the sounds of the black gospel church to pop music with their call-and-response records. Recorded primarily at Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee, from 1965 through 1968, these included "Soul Man", "Hold On, I'm Comin", "I Thank You", "When Something is Wrong with My Baby", "Wrap It Up", and many other Southern Soul classics. Other than Aretha Franklin, no soul act during Sam & Dave's Stax years (1965-1968) had more consistent R&B chart success, including 10 consecutive top 20 singles and 3 consecutive top 10 LPs.[1] Their crossover charts appeal (13 straight appearances and 2 top 10 singles) helped to pave the way for the acceptance of soul music by white pop audiences, and their song "Soul Man" was one of the first songs by a black group to top the pop charts using the word "Soul", helping define the genre "Soul Music". "Soul Man" was a number one Pop Hit (Cashbox: November 11, 1967) and has been recognized as one of the most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone Magazine, and RIAA Songs of the Century. "Soul Man" was featured as the soundtrack and title for a 1986 film and also a 19971998 television series, and Soul Men was a 2008 feature film.

Hey Folks, sorry it took me so long to get to the next batch of tunes. The next bunch of selections that are often overlooked, and underplayed, not to mention seem to be missing from todays scene, is "the story song".

Billy Joel has been fashioning Story songs for years, his most famous being Piano Man, and Moving Out (anthony's Song). This tune i never hear on the radio, though each time I've seen him live, he does play it live.

Of course no Story Song list would be complete without Arlo Guthries' Alice Restaurant, which is pretty well known but isn't played anymore because FM stations don't play 18 minute tracks anymore.

47. Arlo Guthrie- Alice Restaurant

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8DtpdXZi0M

Another one is Harry Chapin, whose Cats in the Cradle , 30,000 pounds of Bananas and to a lesser extent Taxi are extremely well received.

The next section is for those bands and songs that got lost in the shuffle, with the silly "New Country" emergence. I know plenty of folks that flat out refuse to listen to Country music, even though they love the Eagles and "Southern Rock" music.

45. The Road Hammers- I'm a Road Hammer (2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmI_bW0Nwwc

This the sort of tune that wouldn't have been out of place on a John Mellencamp record cira the lonesome jubilee.

Ok here is the fun part of the list where I'll be featuring Tunes off of Albums that for whatever reason never got the air-play. Often times of course it was just the way the music biz was. A band would cut an Album and while it was touring in support of it, 2 or 3 songs emerged, now there is a ton of down-time on the road, so thats when they'd write. When they got home they'd cut another record, or do so while still on the tour, and the cycle begins anew.

43. Tom Cochrane- Dreamers Dream (Ragged Ass Road (1995)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc300/c305/c30503w58wm.jpg
Former front band for Red Rider (they appear later)and the awesome Lunatic Fringe, Tom hit it big as a solo artist.

Best known for: Life is a Highway, Sinking like a Sunset, No Regrets, Big league, boy inside the man, untouchable one victory day, wish you well, Good Times.

never heard of him? John Mellencampish

42. Dire Straits- Mans Too Strong- (Brothers in Arms 1985)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd600/d685/d68503x15yc.jpg

Mark Knoffler and the boys have been putting out records for a long while, and had early hits with Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, twisting by the pool among others. The Album that broke them wide, was most def, Brothers in Arms which with the aid of the new fangled music vid sold a pile of copies. The first 3 songs on side 1 all were hits So far away, Walk of life and the smash Money For Nothing. and then ...nothing. which is a shame, because its a terrific album.

Def Leppard had a monster album with 1987's Hysteria. With the exception of the title track and Armageddon it, apparentlty DJ's never bothered to listen to side B.

If i never hear pour some sugar on me or love bites again, I'll die a happy man.

Overlooked and Under-played imo:

Phil Collins brought in the wall of sound guys to give No Jacket Required a real Horny feel to it, and spawned several singles like Sssudio,Don't lose my Number and Only you know and i know. A couple of Ballads were plucked as singles, One More Night, and Take me Home. The one that got lost in the shuffle imo was

long long way to go

37. Yes

Yes is Awesome, Yes is amazing and has soooooo many album cuts that don't get near the listens it deserves, its laughable.

For Reasons unknown, programmers have chosen to play either Roundabout or All Good People if they are not choosing a track from their 1983 "comeback" effort

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf100/f162/f16211cffzd.jpg

So a double shot of Yes is in order.

1st up from 1972's

I present And You and I: Cord of Life/Eclipse/The Preacher the Teacher/Apocalypse


From Wikipedia:
I. Cord of Life
The song opens with Steve Howe tuning his guitar, and his voice can be heard at the beginning of the track, then playing mostly natural harmonics, played around what will become the central melody, using a 12-string Acoustic guitar which quickly forms into a simple chord progression over distant organ chords. Then, the Moog comes, sounding like a child's instrument, for a simple solo, which presents us the main theme of the next part, but in a completely different arrangement. After that, the vocals begin at about 1:40. The line "All Complete in the sight of seeds of life with you" is spoken, which is repeated throughout the song. At about 2:50, there's an utter change: Anderson sings a sharper melody, accompanied by a second vocal track by Anderson harmonizing with himself, plus Chris Squire and Steve Howe providing a counter-melody and alternate lyrics, with their voices fed through a Leslie Speaker.

II. Eclipse is the slowest part of the song based on a measured and deliberate melody reminiscent of Sibelius. It is led by Rick Wakeman's epic Mellotron and Minimoog synthesizer. The lyrics are all from the first stanza of "The Cord of Life", but are sung in a different melody, which is also epic and slightly sad. Finally ending with the 12-string acoustic guitar leading into "The Preacher, The Teacher".

III. The Preacher The Teacher: The melody and lyrical structure is very similar (for the most part) to that of "The Cord of Life", with some variations. The exception is that "The Preacher, The Teacher" has a fast synthesizer solo by Rick Wakeman at one point during the song. The last stanza again consists of lines from "The Cord of Life", now sung in a different order and a completely different mood. At 8:34 there is a reprise of the previous section "Eclipse", which lasts until 9:12. The section ends with a cadenza-like orchestral statement, on Mellotron and Moog, reminiscent of neo-Wagnerian compositions from Strauss or Bruckner.
IV. Apocalypse is the shortest piece of the song, only about 40 seconds long, it consists only of four lines, accompanied only by Howe's guitars. The lyrics are taken from "Cord of Life", but are sung in the key of B, making them more upbeat: And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning. And you and I reach over the sun for the river. And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement. And you and I called over valleys of endless seas

36. Speaking of the aforementioned 90125 album, Owner of a Lonely Heart got heavy rotation, and to a lesser extent Leave it, and It Can Happen.

I could have chosen any of Hold on, Hearts or this Gem :

Changes
