Lesser known songs you believe could be considered classics.

Sometimes I'll listen to a particular song and think, why isn't this considered a classic in the world of music?  Every time I hear Julian Hatfield's "The Lights" I think, Why isn't this a classic in the world of rock?

Oh man.  Can’t Hardly Wait (rock version or the one with the horns).  What a band

seeing them “open” for PJ at ACL made me a teenager again for four hours.

Stairway To Heaven Part 2 was recorded by Mother Love Bone in November 1988. It's called Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns.

Ooooh...those first two tracks: Like Suicide and Starla. Undiscovered gems! Two of my all-time favorite tracks by any band.

I've always loved Bodies and Silverfuck from Smashing Pumpkins.  Those two songs are masterpieces.

Wild, I like it!  Reminds me of another little known could-have-been classic, Pig Bag, Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag:
