Songs that are awesome but might be unknown to the casual fan (kind of hard in the case of the Beatles....)

Your original title didn't make sense.

Remind me what it was? Wasn't it 'great songs that you won't necessarily find on the greatest hits album' or something to that effect?

I don't remember what it was exactly. I just remember being confused like masomenos.

Whatever. I think the current title is a little bizarre. I would hardly say any of the listed songs are unknown.

Anyways props to Abebeta (what happened to 'Abersonc'?) I knew I could count on him for a choice song.

One Hit To The Body. Interesting choice! Can't say I disagree with that. As for Van Halen, Drop Dead Legs is another underappreciated gem.

Lynyrd Skynyrd...The Ballad of Curtis Loew

Rush...The Trees

Pink Floyd...The Dogs of War

Molly Hatchet...Fall of the Peacemakers

Sammy Hagar...Heavy Metal

long story on the other username -- long and short of it was I got Id'ed at work by someone (keep in mind I live in CA) who wanted to argue about some political issue.

Props to AbeBeta for uncovering Sunset Rubdown (I forget which music thread it was) for me.

Any other suggestions?

Handsome Furs is great if you like Rubdown -- you add those two bands together and you get Wolf Parade (literally, those are both Wolf Parade side projects).

I'm loving Deerhunter, The Walkmen, Okervill River, TV on the Radio, Fleet Foxes, and Broken Social Scene a ton right now.
