Your favorite obscure song


What song in your music inventory do you consider a barely known hidden gem? Like a well kept secret know only to a few that you can listen to over and again.

For me it's 'Roads to Moscow' from Al Stewart's 'Past Present and Future' album.

The music, the lyrics, the story it tells is- to be just slightly hyperbolic- brilliant.

Check it out, especially if your a WW2 history buff.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.😁

@dweller Good call on Pretty Ballerina. Great old song. I think I was probably in 8th grade. Loved it.

I can't narrow it down to one favorite but Fisher "Never Say Never" from the True North album is really good. I also like how they covered "Cats In The Cradle" on their Acoustic Cafe 2 album. I think the whole CD is good, pretty much the same for True North. 

Never been a big MIchael Jackson fan but his video "Man In The Mirror" is very good. Without the video, maybe not as great but a powerful video. OK, nobody asked for videos. Sorry, had to mention it. 

@hilde45 ,

Now it’s just getting ridiculous. The pendulum has swung way too far of center.

Loved your song choice by the way...

@thecarpathian - I hear you on Roads to Moscow; first Al Stewart I ever heard, and the voice, the lyrics, and that haunting melody - just superb.

@winoguy17 - Don't Ask Me Questions is awesome; I remember when that first came out; been a GP fan for a long time and was at that live show they put out from '79 at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco.

I’m going with a trio of anti-war songs that deeply touched me when I first heard them, and still do to this day:

“Come Away Melinda”, Uriah Heep

”Golden Ribbons”, Loggins & Messina

”I Come and Stand at Every Door”, The Byrds
