Default Great lesser known songs by popular artists

Inspired by troutman and someone else mentioning the song "Let Down" by Radiohead in another thread. I'm absolutely in love with that song now, having listened to it probably ten times since reading about it a few days ago.

I never would have heard that song probably in my life if not for seeing two posters agree it was a great, underrated song by Radiohead. Makes me wonder what else I'm missing out on.

I recall a few posters mentioning a great REM song when they retired that I ended up loving, but have since forgotten about. Anyone remember?

If you like Let Down, try:

Family Tree - TV On The Radio
Shot In The Arm - Wilco
Little Motel - Modest Mouse

I should put Let Down in iTunes Genius and see what comes out ....

Anything National is great but this remake of a Perfume Genius track is incredible.

Oddfellows Local 151?

That's my favorite. Last song on Document.

Oasis - Gas Panic!
Oasis - Go Let it Out
Oasis - Columbia

Outside of the regulars they play, Oasis has a mostly great catalog of songs.

The Heavy - Colleen
The Heavy - Short Change Hero

The Heavy are a British 4-piece with a rock/blues sound. Most people would know "How You Like Me Now" but they have a lot of other great stuff.

JET - Black Hearts (On Fire)
JET - Start the Show
JET - Don't Break Me Down

JET kind of steadily faded after a big start with "Are You Gonna Be My Girl". But that is a pretty tame, standard rock song and their albums got progressively better, but also less popular. The above are all from Shaka Rock, which is a fun album. And their last.

It's from a classic album so not exactly obscure, but not a track that's generally on the collections either. One of my absolute favourites both from this band and from the classic rock genre in general. Not really in their trademark style.



Everybody knows Superfly, but the soundtrack to Short Eyes is also excellent stuff.



A great track from a somewhat ignored soundtrack album, One from the Heart.

Rolling Stone called the Jazz album "fascist", but this song is pure power-pop like Cheap Trick might make. The double-stop at the end of each measure is a great hook often used to great effect (see also Bruno Mars for Locked Out Of Heaven)
