Default Great (little known) Songs: Youtube links!

So this thread is all about posting links to songs that few people know about but you think are great. The criteria i'll set is songs with fewer than 300,000 youtube hits (relatively low for youtube)


I'll start with Brazen:http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm3z3i_xfaM

and finish with Planet FUNK: The Switch http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=g-r4qY...eature=related

Edit: Adding one more new one I found today: Still Alive, Mirror's Edge Soundtrack

It was a hit but beside one of their more popular songs, got very little respect, I go with Spirit Of The West's "Venice is Sinking"....


And to be a bit more off the beaten path, Band of Horse's "No-one's Gonna Love You"...

I think there are a few Sufjan Stevens fans on the forum, but you may not be familiar with this one, which, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't made it onto any of his albums. But I had the opportunity to see him perform it live in Boston a couple years ago, and it was one of the most hauntingly beautiful moments of any concert I've been to.

Definitely one of my favorite tunes this year. A band you've probably never heard of as they're only known in Sweden:

Takida - Curly Sue

Since this is little known songs (as opposed to little know bands), I'm picking a song by a very popular band, but a track that was never a single, is relatively unknown and comes from an unjustly maligned album.

From No.4, Stone Temple Pilots - Glide


Edit: perhaps 300,000 is a bit high of a limit. Perhaps 30,000 would better achieve the desired results.

depending on when you grew up, I don't think 'Split Enz - I Got You' is a little know band or song

Technicaly you are correct, however i'm sure there are members here who never heard of that band or thier songs - which is why i posted them.
