Songs that deserve more recognization

[Sunny Day Suicide]

You know those songs that you love but no one else knows about them? Or atleast anymore? What are some of those in your opinion? I think "She's So High" - Tal Bachman & "There She Goes" - The La's need a lot more recognization nowadays. They're great songs. No one knows them anymore.

[Crushed Hope]

Every single goddamned song I listen to. :)

[Xander]

Songs like Lysergic Bliss or Wraith Pinned to The Mist by Of Montreal. Or anything by them. I find them so original, they have this cool time changing thing going on, they sound kinda 60sish at the same time sometimes, I dunno, it's hard to explain. I think they're an amaaaazing band!

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

"She's So High" - Tal Bachman.

is that the one that goes, shes so highhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, she stil loves me blahblahblah:confused:

[Faris]

Anything including Sarah Jezebel Deva. She is amazing! Apparently she has a range of 4 octaves. So far I've heard two or three. (I love her version of "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" on the Tribute album for The Dead Can Dance. THAT song is amazing.) She's also the backing vocals for Cradle of Filth.

And I'll point out her band. (http://www.angtoria.com/)

[ama124]

Any song by paramore. I cant pick one because they are all great.They are awesome if you are looking for a pop-rock/alternative band. And a girl lead singer that can actually sing, and shes only 17! She has an amazing voice. And they arent avril lavinge kind of music. They will soon be a big hit in the us. They've got great potential

[Resha]

"The End" -- The Doors. Pure class. I can't understand why this is so underrated. :(

[Sunny Day Suicide]

Yeah that!

Not to bag the band but people find them to in comparison with the emo gendre and no one with good taste at a young age really listens to emo anymore.

[Venom]

Anything by WASP deserves more recognition.

[Mythra]

I would have to say anything by Agalloch on their "Ashes Against the Grain" and "Pale Folklore" albums. Especially the songs "Fire Above, Ice Below", "Falling Snow", and "Dead Winter Days."

[GooeyToast]

Every single goddamned song I listen to. :)

[Sylvie]

None, because of the songs I listen to get recognized, stupid-ass kids will run around listening to it, and then the band will go to MTV, and then they'll suck.

[XandrewX]

There you'll be-Faith Hill...

[charliepanayi]

Anything at all by PJ Harvey.

[Denmark]

Anything by Carbon Leaf.

Oh, so i guess i have no taste. Thanks for telling me :) .

Just a thought, Have you ever listened to them? I really wouldn't classify them as emo. If you actually listen to the lyrics of their songs the dont sing "omg, cut my wrists, bleed bleed, die die." Every one of their songs has a real life meaning behind it. And thier songs have a lighter, happier tone. And also hate to break it to you but plenty of people still listen to the emo genre.

[daggertrepe]

Everything by The Hush Sound.

No no no. That's not what Im saying. Im saying people will clasify them as it without knowing. So one person says it, another believes and tells and it keeps on going. So people won't want to listen to it.

She does NOT have a 4 octave range, because Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation) has a 3.5 range and she can't hit half the notes he can.

She did a good job singing when she was touring with Therion too.

[sephirothishere]

i dont think music that didnt take any kinda work or skill deserves recognition.....

i can think of lots of things...but i spose the least mainstream would be virtuoso guitar...and most of the people taht talk about this dont know what theyre talkin bout......so...becker need s more recognition....so does...ron thal.....

[Faris]

That would be why I said "Apparently" ;) It was something I read on a few pages about her. I've only heard two types, a very, very low tone and the one she uses for Angtoria.

And oooh, I'll check out that band! =) Thanks

[XxSephirothxX]

I'm not sure how much airplay or recognition a lot of stuff gets, really. I think The Wallflowers deserve wider recognition. And Of Montreal, as well. I hope they come back home to Athens sometime so I can see them live. :3

[jrgen]

Speaking of talented musicians, I just have to mention Dan Swanö, member of Another Life, Bloodbath, Brejn Dedd, Dan Swanö, Diabolical Masquerade, Edge of Sanity, Godsend, Incision, Infestdead, Karaboudjan, Katatonia, Maceration, Masticate, Nightingale, Odyssey, Overflash, Pan.Thy.Monium, Ribspreader, Route Nine, Star One, Steel, Sörskogen, Total Terror and Unicorn, who's a great drummer, bassist, guitarist, keyboard player and a singer with a very wide vocal range and is a very good and active producer aswell.

[Peter_20]

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Fade To Black" by Metallica.
Those songs are friggin' ingenious!

They're hardly unknown though.

Can you feel it - Jackson 5

Yeah, Fade to black is like one of the most known metallica songs. Well atleast most fans know it.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Anything and everything that falls under the progressive rock genre, (i.e. Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Frank Zappa, King Crimson). I think if more young people listened to this music, like me, they might really catch onto it, if introduced to it slowly. The more expiremental it is, the easier it might scare someone off.

If you're interested, I suggest you start with Pink Floyd (which is considerably more mainstream), if you haven't already. Or you could try Supertramp first.

From there try out Yes, King Crimson, or Emerson, Lake and Palmer (perhaps early Genesis as well, ignoring anything past "Wind and Wuthering").

And, if you really want to try out incredibly expirmental material, there is no one better than the legendary Frank Zappa.

If you want to learn more about prog rock albums, specifically which ones to buy, click here. (http://www.progarchives.com/)

Outside of the progressive genre, I like Dexys Midnight Runners, which are sadly only remembered as writing "Come on Eileen." Some even call them one hit wonders, which is truly a despicable label. Anything from their first two albums is excellent.

Another all too readily labeled "one hit wonder band" is Men at Work, which also have tons of good material other than the big singles like "Down Under" that they are mostly remebered for.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Pantera - Art of Shredding.

Best. Mosh. Song. Ever.

Oh :p
I'm very sorry that i missunderstood you then. I hope i didnt come off as a total b*tch. I didn't mean to. But yea i get what you are saying. I just wish that if people really loved and enjoyed music, they wouldnt care what the genre says or whatever. Or whatever there lable tells them to listen too (ex: emo people listen to emo, preppy girls listen to pop). People should be more open to new things.

[Araciel]

becuase a band being played on MTV makes it suck

Oh no problem. Imagining someone attacking you is another way of being an internet thug which means you have absolutely no life. Not me.


Oooh! And how did I forget to mention "I Found Forever" - Fighting Instinct

Pretty much.

You would be surprised honestly ... bands like dredg, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Radiohead, etc getting/already being popular I know many kids that are getting into the classic prog bands.

Now mind you I'm more apt to listen to modern bands like the ones I named, mostly because the 60s and 70s prog scene is so saturated with rip off bands. Mind you there are still some killer bands, King Crimson and Rush being two of the best, just I like the fact that newer bands are innovating much more.

[sephirothishere]

Pantera - Art of Shredding.

revolution is my name and immortally insane are pretty good too...actually...most pantera songs are good for that....and whoever says metallica is ......frustrating....

What? Innovating much more? I wholeheartedly dissagree.

Bands nowadays are combining stale rock stereotypes with their own non-existence of creativity. Every new rock song out there right now sounds excatly the same. The punk rock scene feeds off each other until it has reached the perfect formula of repetition. The pop scene is the same, as well as rap; it all sounds exactly the same, and boring, and bad. Listen to any rock song out there and tell me with a straight face that it sounds unlike the very molds begun back in the 80s!

The music industry is there to make money, bands associating themselves with whiny teenage cliques while trotting out the old repeated notes on loud guitars. Nothing will every reach the indiviudalized and creative extremes reached by early prog rock ever again.

While one could argue that you have not heard all music, Crushed Hope was still talking about progressive rock, not rap, pop or rock.

Listen to The Mars Volta, Pain of Salvation, and dredg and we will speak again.

[Venom]

Alot of the songs I like by the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy are quite unknown too. (And by those artists they definetly deserve more recognition):)

[Spammerman]

Less Than Jake-Overrated
A lot of Hawk Nelson stuff
The Call Out, THree oh Nine, Bodybag by hit the lights

Seriously. Try listening to the music before you judge it. I can not speak on the behalf of Pain of Salvation, but I can assure you that The Mars Volta is one of the most original bands in years.
