Your favorite song that was never a hit?

[Mister Sin]

I'm curious. What is your go to song that no one knows. A B-Side type song that you just love. A song that would require a full listen to the album.. It has to be a musical act that has other hits though. You must name at least one of their hits.

I'll start

I've loved this song since I was a teenager.

Bush had some great songs like "Glycerin" and "Come Down", but my favorite of all of their songs is called "Head Full of Ghost"

Does this count? It's not a majorly popular song on iTunes, and it took me forever to find this on YouTube.

Ani DeFranco Napoleon. But I don't know if she has any what you would call hits.

So had some 5 ft tall Klipsh speakers,with a top end Yamaha receiver , played a bunch of Bush and when Alien came on the CD, Up it went, Big Time.

I'm gonna put up some Bluegrass. I love folk and bluegrass. I Listen to it more than anything else..

there is a 20 something bluegrass singer that is the best flat picker I've ever seen on guitar. He has had hits in the BG world such as "Dust in a Baggie" and "Enough to Leave" Billy Strings

But THIS is my favorite of them all. I listen to this a few times a day. Listen to the lyrics and listen to that damn guitar. I included Dust in a Baggie. Just to show off his guitar. His guy on Banjo and Mandolin are terrific too!

Here my Nephew the Lead singer, would have hit it Big, went all around played in Hard Rock in Orlando and was really moving up, then Colon Cancer, hit numbers in the 1000's..He was only in his late 20''s then it moved around his body, every day a prayer, everyday..

Then to make this short, an old GF called nephew that lived his whole life in Fla, said move up here to Minny the Twin Cities, I love you and now he's down to the low 100's, there's a story and it's 100 percent True.

The 1 of the few song left. since it's been a few, Thans you know Who..

I have a few and I really am enjoying this thread. Police - Murder by Numbers. Love the use of jumping from naturals to flats/sharps.

Modest Mouse - The View
The use of bending the guitar strings coupled with an accordion:

Shadows Fall - The light that blinds. Love the classic intro and scalular solos. The song has a deep meaning too. Never heard it on the metal station.

I never heard of some of these bands. But, going by the rules

A B-Side type song that you just love. A song that would require a full listen to the album.. It has to be a musical act that has other hits though. You must name at least one of their hits.

I would have to go with this. The last 3 minutes will change your life LOL

Man, I love Pink Floyd thanks to my dad.

Dogs is probably my pick. IDK if that was a hit at the time. Nobody ever talks about it now. If that doesn't count, then Dogs of War off of Momentary Lapse of Reason was another I really enjoyed growing up discovering my parents music.
