Detonator Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) There are plenty of great songs that should have deserved more attention and recognition. One band comes to mind... a Swiss duo "Yello" who have made some really weird sh*t. They have pure techno music, they have some kind of psychedelic kraut-rock, some stuff that even I consider pure crap... and even catchy pop songs. But one song raises above others, Third of June. It's a song of a nuclear war... or someone's drug trip... or just whatever... I don't know. But it's a powerful, powerful song that has a lot of the same elements that I love about Rush's most powerful material (Subdivisions, Marathon, Jacob's Ladder, etc). I'm quite sure this song would work for most Rush fans. Crank the volume up and LISTEN. I'd love to hear what Rush fans say about this. Mr. Toomy stopped his pinstripe suit outside a barber shopLooked at his faceTook off his jacketPut it on the pavementStepped on itAnd started preaching like a monk from another worldAfter some minutes, he had a little crowdWhich disappeared when a police car passed by slowlyLike rolling gloomAnd Mr. Toomy throws his voice 'til he was the only one in the areaAt this early night of June third, nineteen eighty eight Share your obscure masterpiece(s).

bluefox4000 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I also think the silence at the end of VT is very underrated. Ok i'm horrible. i'm done. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Renaissance - Mother Russia A hidden masterpiece of a song and album (Turn of the Cards), and a band that never got the recognition it deserved in the seventies. Listen to that little Annie belt that song out if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Winter is a song that I NEVER see any love for when it comes to Rolling Stones songs. Such an underrated ballad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Keep 'em, coming guys. Great stuff! As you already know (or don't know) I'm a HUGE Van Halen fan. I belong to the minority and love esp. the Hagar-era. This is probably the best ever Van Halen song. Well, my favorite anyway. :D It probably has my all time favorite guitar by Eddie and incredible vocals by Sammy. That guitar in the end is just breathtaking. Eddie is simply the best ever without a doubt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ZEWDdLsuA Edited December 30, 2014 by Detonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) If you like Boston/Journey/Foreigner-type of melodic soft AOR rock (I do, among many other perverse things) these can't be beaten. Great voice, great tunes... from former Bad Company singer's solo album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn8TvI38FDg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwARjkqDrHY Edited January 3, 2015 by Detonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
