Some great suggestions so far. Silver Springs has been brought up a few times….it’s funny as the album version is just ok to me, but there's a Live version (’97) that is probably my favourite Fleetwood Mac song ever.
A few of my underrated great songs (which may or may not qualify):
Willie Nelson - Texas in my Soul
Paul McCartney - Calico Skies
Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler - There’ll be Some Changes Made (with Chet Atkins)
Taylor Swift - Mr. Perfectly Fine. Yeah, with two pre-teen daughters, Ive heard more Swift than I can handle, but I think this one is underrated.
Suede - Saturday Night
Van Morrison - Don’t Look Back (with John Lee Hooker), Scandinavia
Beatles - Sexy Sadie, Rocky Raccoon
Yoko Ono - Your Hands. Yes, I know…I hate her too, and usually her yelping is unbearable. But something about this song I like.
Deep Purple - Child in Time (Long version). Not a deep cut to fans, but considering it has one of the radest solos of all time and you never hear it anywhere, it definitely deserves more love.
George Harrison - Pretty much every song on Cloud Nine that’s not Got My Mind Set on You. Especially Just for Today, Fish on the Sand, Breath Away from Heaven.
Pulp - Babies
Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine
Nirvana - I find the whole Incesticide album could qualify as you never hear these songs on the radio, but there’s a raw energy to them that I love (especially Sliver, Molly’s Lips, Son of a Gun, Aneurysm).
Radiohead - Thinking About You
