Underrated Songs

Recommended Posts

Since there's a thread about overrrated songs, I think we need a place to list some underrated nuggets.

 

My first (of many) choices is:

 

Shakin'- Eddie Money

I Thank You, ZZ Top :rolleyes:

 

But you did, but you did...

I would have bet my life savings, when I saw that you had responded, that you were going to name some obscure Metallica album track.

 

Kudos. :rolleyes:

Ya know, when it comes to music threads I have posted, they have not always been about Metallica or about metal, despite popular opinion. Some threads I started that went over one page (that you might remember) have included:

 

Favorite one hit wonder songs

 

Favorite Cheap Trick song

 

Favorite ZZ Top song

 

among others....

 

Just sayin' :dunno:

Speaking of Nazareth, I like the song "Holiday".

 

Also, one of Tom Petty's best songs never seems to appear on his greatest hits albums.

The song is called "Change of Heart". It has a great guitar hook.

Good calls on both,the only collection I've ever seen Change Of Heart on was the double box set they released a few years ago.

Acreed on Eddie Money. Dunno why he didn't get more {whatever} than he did. He had a number of really good songs.

 

 

 

And, if it hasn't been mentioned:

 

 

Cat. I'm a Kitty Cat. And I dance dance dance. :huh:
