Songs You like/love that most people have never heard.

Any hidden gems in your playlist that you love but feel are criminally underrated or just not popular for whatever reason?

Oh boy this could be a long list! Sticking with album tracks, and not counting b-sides/rarities/unreleased stuff, just to keep it reasonable, and relatively well-known bands:

Mark Lanegan - Wheels

Mazzy Star - Blue Light

Gordon Lightfoot - Ten Degrees and Colder
Soul Asylum - Endless Farewell
Grateful Dead - We Can Run; I Will Take You Home
Mark Knopfler - Pretty much anything from Shangri-La; the entire album is brilliant and yet it is criminally under-represented even in Knopfler's own shows. 5:15 > Boom Like That is one of the best 1-2 combos on any album I know.

Mary by Big Thief. Both the Capacity originally recorded piano version and the guitar based live version are amazing journeys to take with this rising power house band!

I remember hearing We Got the Whip around the time of Out of Exile I believe. I think it leaked on to radio for a few weeks. Good tune.

i only heard it on the leaked Civilian Demos; didn't realize until a long time after it had actually been officially released.
