Best Little known Songs

Sparkinator · Apr 24, 2010

This thread is prompted by the Greatest Band thread. Really diverse crowd musically wise here on Iboats, so I thought I would start a thread about favorite songs, that most people have never heard of or at the least, probably weren't that popular during there release.

I'll start with Genesis "Home by the Sea"

Syntax the Meccano Mind album..... made the album and then they broke up due to lack of success

as a result of the use of their songs they have gotten back together but nothing new yet.

"Smoke" by Garage Deluxe.
Even the band is obscure- but the song is great.
Double points to anyone who can find and hear this one!
