It's surprising how many people haven't heard Television, so "Marquee Moon." That's the only song I can think of that really stands alone; most other bands have a bunch of equally great songs but Television has abunch of great songs and this angel of a song. I would probably show themJoy Division's "Wilderness" too, really into that song right now; and "Frankie Teardrop" for the screams.

great album, even when it came out, it didn't get much airplay.

Also, off the top of my head:

Watch the Sunrise--Big Star
A House is Not a Motel-- Love
The Bleeding Heart Show--The New Pornographers
Underwater Moonlight--The Soft Boys
Whiskey Bottle--Uncle Tupelo
Carry the Zero--Built to Spill
Zimbabwe--Bob Marley and the Wailers

Really, I could go on and on...

I have several of the Neko Case albums, I really like her voice, wasn't she a member of New Pornographers, how different are they?

Thanks ever so much to my friend Laurent for introducing me to this... This is dedicated to you, that glass of wine I'm downing is too.

I wish the whole world would listen to this and join me in lying lazily in the grass on a spring afternoon to exchange views on how sweet the wet flowers smell...
And then we'd all cry and have some more Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc, and listen to Ted once more...

Dancing by John Martyn

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry. John Martyn is not known enough. Blatant scandal.

OK, I will try this again...the assumption for this topic is that it is a song that probably most people haven't heard. It would be something that has gone under the radar, lost in time or because of the segmentation of the radio markets, just hasn't been heard? ...A song that you would want to turn people on to... For me that could be:

Ramon, Laurie Anderson
Black Pearl, Sonny Charles
Cactus Tree or Michael from Mountains, Joni Mitchell
Sleep Song, Graham Nash
