Great tracks forgotten or ignored

[AnGrYcRoW]

The basic idea is to post a song you love that maybe never found and audience or is just long forgotten, maybe it's a B side of a favorite band that never broke big .

I'm going to start it off with Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers ,







The Modern Lovers couldn't even get a record released til after they broke up although most of the members went on to have successfull music careers

The car, the radio, the night - and rock's most thrilling song

It's been called the first punk record. The Sex Pistols used to cover it. And yet Jonathan Richman's Roadrunner is only a hymn to a suburban ringroad in Massachusetts

Early pink Floyd

Rocky racoon never gets love
either, despite being my favorite
beatles song & one of the few I
actually enjoy

Cohen gets no love for this one, but it's some of his best poetry and one of his most touching songs:



Hallelujah can go bugger off.

A lot of people don't realize Pink Floyd existed prior to Dark Side of the Moon

Yup.
Terrible mistake...

Piper & meddle & saucer full

Another Pink Floyd song I've always loved. It was a B-side from an album most casual fans probably don't even know exists. One of a few PF songs that have no keyboards or synths. Sounds like something off a CSNY or Fleetwood Mac album.

I can understand why they couldn't get that released in 1972. There was plenty of good music around then.

Rolling stone ranked Roadrunner #274 on the 500 greatest songs list

Maybe you'd prefer the Sex Pistols version






Pretty funny
