Default underrated songs from classic bands

Queen - Hammer to Fall
Led Zeppelin - Gallows Pole

two songs from great artists that don't get enough play, or not nearly as much as their bigger hits. this is where i really find satellite radio to kick ass over terrestrial, you get to actually hear songs like these instead of the same Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to Heaven over and over again. what are some of your favorite underrated songs?

I'm trying to narrow it down to one from The Beatles...
Glass Onion or The Fool on the Hill.
Billy Joel- Big Shot (i don't hear this one often, but I really don't know if it was a hit that got big airplay in the past).

Great choice! Lodi is my favorite CCR song.

Kiss - Hard Luck Woman
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - King's Highway
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Crawling Back To You
CCR - Long As I Can See The Light

I could list a ton of classic and outlaw country songs.
