There is this song called The Card Cheat that is pretty much this. Really one of the best on the album it is on.

Also, here's a question: In your opinion, is there any album in which there's almost no track which is little-known, or an album in which almost every track is equally famous?

Led Zeppelin II comes to mind. I would say Thank You is the only song that isn't very well known on that whole album.

Also Led Zeppelin IV is made up entirely of very famous songs. I guess Four Sticks would be the least famous.

Maybe Boston, the self titled. Hitch a Ride would be the Four Sticks of that album.

Moby's "Play"? Every track off that album has been licensed for one advert or another...

These are the relatively lesser-known tracks from famous albums, which I like just as much as, or maybe even more than, the popular tracks:

Love You To - Revolver (The Beatles)
Ballad of a Thin Man - Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)
Here Today - Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys)
I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Abbey Road (The Beatles)
Good Morning Good Morning - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles)
Mood Indigo - In the Wee Small Hours (Frank Sinatra)
I Only Said - Loveless (My Bloody Valentine)

Also, here's a question: In your opinion, is there any album in which there's almost no track which is little-known, or an album in which almost every track is equally famous?

Cactus from The Pixies Surfer Rosa.
Kissability from Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation.

Your Emotions from Dead Kennedy's Fresh Fruit And Rotting Vegetables.
Higher Than The Sun from Primal Scream's Screamadelica. 😁

Agree. My favourites on that album fluctuated between Sail To The Moon, Myxomatosis and Punchup. But Punchup is just a great narrative:

No [x42]
I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
(By the way) I was there and it wasn't like that.
You've come here just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch-up at a wedding
Yeah
Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop
When I turn 'round you stay frozen to the spot
You had the pointless snide remarks
Of hammerheaded sharks
The pot will call the kettle black
It's a drunken punch-up at a wedding yeah
Oh no no
