Add Some (More) Music to Your Day...

[JollyElm]

Everybody's tastes are different (DUH!!!), but throw out some tunes that may not be too well known, but you frickin' love for whatever reason.

1. I kept hearing this song in commercials, so I sought it out and now believe 'Ends Of The Earth' by Lord Huron could be one of the greatest songs ever!!!! Somber and gripping. It helps to have the lyrics on display when you first listen to it.

2. Didn't remember this song from the 80's, but we saw these guys at a fair in California and they rocked the hell out of it. 'You Keep Runnin' Away' by 38 Special.

3. And I can't even explain how much I love this live version of the Floyd tune, 'Wot's...Uh The Deal' by David Gilmour. (It's a bonus cut from his 'Live In Gdańsk' album...wait, are they called "albums" anymore??)

Not sure if this is my top 10, but it's pretty darn close.

"Stained Glass" by Danny Schmidt
"Apres Moi" by Regina Spektor
"Yes Anastasia" by Tori Amos
"Now You Like Me How" by Woodpigeon
"A Better Son/Daughter" by Rilo Kiley
"Panic Switch" by Silversun Pickups
"Lay Your Head Down" by Keren Ann
"Australia" by The Shins
"Elephant Gun" by Beirut
"Eli Eli" by Sophie Milman

And I don't know how well known it is, but for my money this is the greatest six minutes in television history.

Will gladly contribute to this thread. More of a soft rock vibe with this one that I'll recommend. It's How Much I Feel by Ambrosia. Love the chorus and the Harmonies! Been stuck in my head for quite a bit.

Beautiful song. I’d put it in the same class as I’m Not in Love by 10cc.

One great song is It Is Not Meant To Be, by Tame Impala. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpLXx...st=LL&index=11

I'd also recommend anything from the first two albums of Big Star. Almost no one knows about Big Star, but their first two albums are among the greatest ever.

Lord Huron's good. Have you heard The World Ender, by Lord Huron? It's a good song, thematically a descendant of Ironman by Black Sabbath.

I'd agree, I really enjoy it. There's also a live version of the song, that's on spotify. It's slightly extended so you get a full third chorus out of it. The harmonization on "Live for your loving" is my favorite part, I think.

Very underrated band overall...listen to Cowboy Song, Nice Nice Very Nice, Time Waits for No One, Harvey, and Life Beyond LA.

These songs should have been hits, they were expertly crafted/arranged.

But that's how we come up with hidden gems in the first place!

I liked that first one a lot. Here's one I discovered a few months ago...
