Lesser known songs that are awesome [NSF56K]
Quoththe RavenMiami, FL FOR REALRegistered Userregular
There are many awesome bands and artists out there with big hits that make them famous.
Sometimes, they have a lot of hits:
Sometimes, they have only a few:
And sometimes you buy their albums and wonder why some songs got big while other equally awesome or superior songs didn't. Sometimes you think about how radio is worthless and record company executives are stupid and then you get a headache and have to go lie down for a while.
So basically, this is a thread to explore the lesser-known songs of awesome artists or one-hit wonders. Here are a few to get the proverbial ball rolling.
Barely anyone recognizes Townes van Zandt when I mention his name, but everyone on the planet has heard something he's written. Maybe my favourite artist.

butters I love you
i checked even more and it doesn't appear to be on any of them
so uh

you must have Songs in the Attic, which is a collection of his lesser-known songs
i rest my case
fuck yeah
what are other old timey bands we should talk about
I like that song a lot. There were a lot of good songs on that album
REM sucked.

these are all awesome bands and you should post some songs
if it makes you feel better, I also enjoy the refreshments
though i think Suckerpunch is my favorite song of theirs
now I am inflamed about the same, but with led.
also I am totally agreeing with butters here, goddamn.
