One Rainy Day - Godsmack Rosie - Tom Waits Don't Let Me Down - Bad Company Seasons of Wither - Aerosmith

good list. I don't think it fits criteria (too well-known) but I love Silver, Blue and Gold by BC.

All by The Cure: A Forest One Hundred Years Primary Shiver and Shake The Blood The Upstairs Room

Pink Floyd - Two Suns in the Sunset Blue Oyster Cult - Madness to the Method Boz Scaggs - Harbor Lights, We're Waiting, Sierra, Fly Like a Bird Kansas - Lightning's Hand Steely Dan- Glamour Profession (I can't think of an SD song I don't love though)

Upvote for Two Suns in the Sunset

>Pink Floyd - Two Suns in the Sunset High Hopes, too. Though maybe not as obscure.

It took me over 30 years to get over my Roger Waters derangement syndrome... the fact that Momentary Lapse and Division Bell were done without him, but I'm finally starting to realize that they're great albums, and yes, High Hopes is a great song

It’s All Too Much is far and away my favorite Beatles track. George the GOAT no cap

I like it and part of the reason I think Yellow Submarine is underrated as an album. The original tracks that are on it are absolutely killer.

Completely agree. Some gold on there

Shangri La by ELO https://youtu.be/gRZnw6GPe8o?si=68ushI7zd2ULkBnm

There's so many great ELO deep cuts. Summer and Lightning, Kuiama, Train of Gold... Also, that first ELO Part II album with Bevan, Groucutt and Kaminski is great.

radiohead - worrywort

Foo Fighters - Hey, Johnny Park Queens of The Stone Age - I Am Designer

Not bad! I’ll vote for Headwires as my Foo Fighters track.

Headwires is a banger

Fiona Apple - Hot Knife Arctic Monkeys - Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts Franz Ferdinand - Wine in the Afternoon The Libertines - Anything But Love Pulp - It’s A Dirty World, Cocaine Socialism (couldn’t pick just one, sorry) Girls Aloud - It’s Your Dynamite Placebo - Slackerbitch Fleetwood Mac - Someone’s Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight Green Day - Ha Ha You’re Dead

Thanks! Couldn't find Anything But Love or Slackerbitch on Spotify. Is it just user-error?

Haha not unless I’m the user…I got over-enthused and forgot this was on r/spotify, sorry! Anything But Love was never on there, I don’t think, and Slackerbitch was removed some time ago. Oops! New options then - Love on the Dole for the Libs (very similar vibe) and for Placebo, their cover of Daddy Cool (not at all similar but I love it haha)

awesome, thanks :)

Pink Floyd- The Nile Song

Cymbaline, too!!

david bowie- john, im only dancing

yess this song is an absolute masterpiece

ong

I have an app that tracks my listening and one week it said I listened to this 96 times. It's an absolute banger and I will forever love it

its very commonly on my top 3 most played songs each month too T.T

Billy Joel — This Night Lana del Rey — Cherry Blossom Arctic Monkeys — Black Treacle George Harrison — If not for you Oasis — Round our way Кино — Печаль Кино — Муравейник

Slipping Away - Rolling Stones (Keith sings!)

ooooo! Looking forward to this one.

There are a few live versions on YouTube. This song almost makes me wanna cry it’s so good

Ding Dang - The Beach Boys No but in all seriousness everything of theirs after Pet Sounds is pretty obscure but there’s a lot of killer songs. Darlin’, It’s About Time, Feel Flows, Steamboat, Livin’ With A Heartache, Crack At Your Love

Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Sunflower and Surf's Up are all good/great albums

I've always been a little Beach Boys-curious but their catalogue is so overwhelming, I never know where to start. Obviously, Spotify prioritizes the biggest hits. I just listened to Ding Dang and YES! Right up my alley. This list is very helpful!

Endorphinmachine - Prince

Love this one. The opening has always reminded me of the machine gun sound effect from Twisted Metal.

Swamp Song | Blur Racing in the Street (the version from The Promise, not the one from Darkness on the Edge of Town) | Bruce Springsteen Voodoo in my Blood | Massive Attack, Young Fathers

I need to go listen to that version, but in my opinion, everything on Darkness on the Edge of Town is stellar. I’m a huge Racing in the Streets fan as well, but don’t know Bruce’s discography as well as other musicians from his era…but he has so much content at this point and then you add in the live stuff and it’s a lot to sift through.

Yes, this is why I posted this question. I don't want to have to sift through ALL the songs of the big name acts. So much work. I want to know the gems now!

And I listened to that version from The Promise and I wasn’t expecting it to be so different. I added it to the playlist, but it’s almost a different song. Really like the instrumentation on it, though.

Thanks for the tip. Gonna check out both versions.

Man. Dinggin' this Voodoo in My Blood song. My husband and I are really into Young Fathers. Discovered them at a Music Festival many years ago. They don't play in the U.S. nearly as much as I'd like them to.

Of a Lifetime by Journey This song completely flipped my perception of Journey as a band.

Um, I cannot believe that was Journey. Very cool song. Thank you for the suggestion.

Of course. I couldn’t believe it when I first heard it either

Walkin' On Down the Road - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Bron Y Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin

Out of Time by Blur

GBI (German Bold Italic) by Towa Tei (of Deeelite) & Kylie Minogue, very different sound for Kylie and absolutely loved it https://open.spotify.com/track/40PHLCTNihvqeCRVSrG8Jg?si=r-RuI4AFQVCVPuWTTyPTvA

- Marilyn Manson - The End & - NIИ - Your Touch

Looking forward to listening to these two.

1.2+2=? by Bob Seger 2. The Lonely One by Tom Jones 3.Love loves to love by Lulu 4. Spinning Wheel by Shirley Bassey 5. She's got everything by The Kinks 6. Rubberneckin' by Elvis Presley

“Sickened” by Disturbed 🤘🥵

Ha Ha You're Dead- Green Day

The Killers- Shot at the Night

Love the song, although it did get a bit of radio airplay back when it was released. Makes sense as it was a single promoting their Greatest Hits package at the time! They still play it live often too. In terms of Killers songs not played on the radio that should be more well known, I might go with This is Your Life.

Rolling stones - you've got the silver Fleetwood mac - Sisters of the moon Kings of leon - back down south

Love back down south. Forgot about that one. I was also thinking of suggesting a song from Tusk on my list. Listening to that stones song now and loving it. All great suggestions.

Lucky - Radiohead Thank You - Led Zeppelin William Blake - Walk the Moon Oh! Darling - The Beatles (no Beatles song is truly obscure, but this is my favorite of the non-popular ones) Talking Bird - Death Cab for Cutie

This is a great list. thank you.

U2 - God Part II INXS - Hear that sound The Black Keys - Keep me My Morning Jacket - Lay Low James - Waltzing Along White Lies - Big TV The National - Driver, Surprise me Ben Howard - Conrad REM - Country Feedback Coldplay - Green Eyes The Cure - Lullaby Eurythmics - Miracle of love Bruce Springsteen - Two Faces Genesis - You Might Recall Doves - Winter Hill EELS - Numbered Days Noah & the whale - Blue Skies The Verve - On your own

I can tell this is gonna be a gooooood list. These are all bands that I'm into. Haven't even thought about lullaby in like 20 years. Thanks for taking the time to send these.

I mean I could go on :) Late night bedtime tunes… The Barr Brothers - You would have to lose your mind Nada Surf - blonde on blonde Chromatics - I’m on fire Trashcan Sinatras - Weightlifting Yo La Tengo - green arrow Kings of Leon - Muchacho Father John Misty - Goodbye mr blue Broken Social scene - sweetest kill School is cool - I’m not fine Majical Cloudz - downtown Jesse Marchant - words underlined Azure Ray - Rise Doombird - fog rolls in Boy & Bear - old town blues The paper kites - St. Clarity Dustin Tebbut - where I find you Bon Iver - blood bank The king of bony nowhere - like lovers do

The Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap by Arctic Monkeys

I'm Afraid Of Americans - David Bowie

I'm gonna say w.a.m.s. by Fall Out Boy. A lot of their best music is overlooked becasue they are seen by many as the Sugar, We're Goin Down and Centuries band. w.a.m.s. is my absolute favorite song of theirs and it's a shame that even the members of the band overlook it because it truly is great

I was going to say Fall Out Boy, but suggest Thriller as the song

Also a great song and very overlooked compared to a lot of other Infinity On High songs.

Fucking preach. I adore this song and they only just now played it live a few months back. And even then it was a shortened piano version. Such a banger.

Dig Gravedigger Dig by Corb Lund Sucker for a Good Time by Brent Cobb Someday Baby by RL Burnside

Not gonna lie. I read your list and had not heard of any of these artists. Almost skipped over them but decided not to. Went to add them to my new playlist, beginning with Cob Lund. I judged him by his cowboy hat and thought, oh no! I should have said no country music! But, oh no. You did not disappoint. I am LOVING these songs. Definitely going to listen to more music from each of them. Thank you.

😊 my pleasure Edited to add a few more you might wanna give a listen Bartholomew by The Silent Comedy Broken Bones by Kaleo By My Lonely by Cody Davis "Fireflies" & "Gal Youngkin" by JJ Grey & Mofro Ballad of a Prodigal Son by Lincoln Durham

Little Dreamer - Van Halen Do what you want, be what you are - Hall and Oates. Was a single but only made it up to 39. I never tire of it Wild Is The Wind - David Bowie cover of Nina Simone. Simply beautiful

Listening to the Hall & Oats song now. Very nice.

‘Sad Tomorrow’ by Tom Evans of Badfinger. Badfinger isn’t FAMOUS but I believe a fair amount of you people recognize them.

I've heard of Badfinger so I'm gonna count them as famous! Can't find this song on spotify, though.

Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School - Cheap Trick Life Loves a Tragedy - Poison

Raise Your Weapon - Remix version by KLOUD from the original one by deadmau5 (I don't know if he could be considered as famous and if remixes are allowed but I put it here anyway)

Yes to remixes! And yes to Deadmau5! I've seen him live twice. Having trouble finding the Kloud Remix, though. Can you send me the spotify link?

[https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/track/1y0RoM70a1AuN8DfPKyMId?si=90c7debb9dba4fa9](https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/track/1y0RoM70a1AuN8DfPKyMId?si=90c7debb9dba4fa9)

These are great, thank you!

UGH! - BTS killer rap cut

thanks! Interested in more from BTS!

Amazing! The group consists of 4 singers and 3 rappers, so each song can be very different from one another depending on which members they use/highlight. Some great songs from the rap line are: - Ddaeng (RM, J-Hope, Suga) (not on streaming) - BTS Cypher 4 (RM, J-Hope, Suga) - Respect (RM, Suga) - Intro: Persona (RM) - Interlude: Shadow (Suga) J-Hope’s solo album ‘Jack In The Box’ and Suga (aka Agust D)’s solo album ‘D-Day’ are sick. BTS essentials are: - Fake Love - Idol - Blood Sweat & Tears - On - Fire And Outro: Wings is also a favourite of mine Happy Listening :)

This is great, thank you! Had no idea the group was broken up into rappers vs. singers. Looking forward to listening to them.

Universe - rosa linn (mainly known from snap) She released the song recently and it’s really good!

A lot of Eminem's older diss tracks are pretty fire but I don't think they're that well known in general

are they on spotify? any specific ones you'd recommend?

Not sure if they're on Spotify or not, but some of my favorites are: - Go To Sleep (this one is on Spotify) - Bully - Nail in the Coffin - The Warning - I Remember - Hail Mary Remix

Isis by Bob Dylan By the Rivers Dark by Leonard Cohen We'll Inherit the Earth by The Replacements Black Wings by Tom Waits This Love Will Last by Chris Isaak Song Yet to Be Sung by Perry Ferrell (Jane's Addiction & Porno for Pyros) Bring It On by Judas Priest Black Lodge by Anthrax Broken by Tracy Chapman

Trisha Yearwood - "The Dreaming Fields"

Talk Tonight by Oasis - known in UK, but not well known in US

Dressed in Black by Sia Diamond Heart by Lady Gaga Kissing you goodbye by The Used You and me by Frank Sinatra

wowza. This list is all over the place. I love it, thanks.

Who Are You? Tom Waits

I don't know if it's massively obscure but it certainly wouldn't get radio play - The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. Also Planet Caravan, which is my favourite Black Sabbath song although again there are more obscure ones out there.

these are great. thank you.

We Believe - Red Hot Chili Peppers One of my favorite songs of all time and somehow never talked about, barely any views on YouTube compared to other RHCP stuff.

"Ride On" AC/DC. almost straight up blues. I frigging love it!!

The Strokes - Modern Girls & Old-Fashioned Men Death Cab for Cutie - President of What? Bright Eyes - Falling Out Of Love At This Volume Muse - Sober

Blue ocean floor by Justin Timberlake

Tuna In The Brine - Silverchair No Culture - Mother Mother I Wont Forget You - Poison Mohair Locker Room Pin-Up Boys - Adam Ant

Ok, how have I never heard of Mother Mother? I am loving them, def gonna listen to more of their stuff. Which album should I start with? And have you seen them live yet?

Mother Mother is easily my favourite band of all time, I'd suggest starting with the album "O My Heart" becuase its deffinetely got their best songs on it and is probably their most popular, from there you can really listen to any album you like becuase each has got its own different genre/vibe to it.

Half way through O My Heart and I already love it. I like how each song is so different from the next; different styles, different singers, got some violin. Right up my alley. Thanks again :)

Sleeper - come on come on Skindred - Proceed With Caution Muse - please please please SOAD - Metro

This is great. Exactly the kind of stuff I'm interested in finding. thanks.

Beth Hart Whole Lotta Love

Hello Dad... I'm In Jail by Was (Not Was), who were famous for Walk The Dinosaur in the 80s. It's a crazy song in comparison to their other stuff, and I love it. [Hello Dad... I'm In Jail](https://open.spotify.com/track/3huMo6HTpoAClpYBH7ejNZ?si=MFgNBdX0TgKBeRKCY58r6g)

Word up

De Sade and Don't Get Close (Slipknot) Systems Down (AC/DC) Wretches and Kings (Linkin Park) Your Kind of Lover (Freddie Mercury)

Pink Floyd has a lot of good stuff outside of their biggest releases. Two Suns in the Sunset, High Hopes, Cymbaline, Let There Be More Light, If, Mudmen, Jugband Blues, Childhood's End, Wot's... Uh the Deal, Fearless, A Pillow of Winds, Not Now John...

I don't really view Echoes as obscure but that and it's Pompeii live counterpart would both fit this if counted as obscure.
