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.😁

Right Back to It by Waxahatchee from the Tigers Blood Album.   Anyone ever going through the ups and downs of relationships will appreciate this song.

Bob Dylan -  "Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)" 

Dylan is obviously not obscure and I'm not sure that  Señor qualifies either, but it's not one of Bob's better known songs. It was on "Street Legal" which is also not one of his more celebrated albums.  Dylan creates a dark and foreboding atmosphere in the song that's almost downright frightening. One gets the sense that the singer is not going to like what the Señor has in store for him.

 

@whart "The Man" off of Patto’s first album is a masterpiece IMHO.

Oh, and I have the Vertigo Swirl version...

Here's two:

1. The Crucifixion by Phil Ochs sung by Jim and Jean

2. And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda sung by Priscilla Herdman

Obscure it is. I like this song by Chris & Cosey a whole lot from their debut album Heartbeat after they departed Throbbing Gristle. Listen to it! Put yourself in Los Angeles
