Re: Lesser Known Songs
I am a massive Beatles fan and one of my favourite songs of theirs is For No One from the Revolver album. A haunting McArtney melody with a french horn solo played by Alan Civil. A beautiful song.

Re: Lesser Known Songs
I’m not sure any Beatles track can be regarded as lesser known but love “In My Life”.
Led Zep..”Thank You” off Led Zep2 is another particular favourite that goes under the radar.

I don’t think of it as lesser known, probably because it’s my favourite Bowie album.Middle-agedClaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:27 pmThe Prettiest Star, by David Bowie. A gem from Aladdin Sane.

I was only messing about. If you want a really obscure Beatles song try "Working Class Hero". Think it was the B-side to "Penny Lane"

Re: Lesser Known Songs
I got to the age of 55 without ever hearing or even knowing about Eno’s Ambient 1 Music for Airports. My kid introduced me to all that ambient and slow stuff.
I think others would like it if you don’t know it and like something chill.

This only got to number 40 in the charts but 15000 other bands think that's not bad:

There's a track on David Bowie's best of album called "The Man Who Sold the Earth". I only heard of it cos one of the 90s American grunge bands covered it but if you like songs like "Rebel, Rebel" and "Starman" give it a listen

My personal favourite lesser known Beatles song is Things We Said Today.
Hauntingly beautiful song, always seems out of place in amongst their earlier stuff.

Re: Lesser Known Songs
Is there a “beamish” moment going on here that I don’t know about?
“The man who sold the world” by Bowie, and it was covered by LuLu not Cilla, wasn’t it?
Anyway, 11:59 and hanging on the telephone from Blondies parallel lines album…. Best known for heart of glass and Sunday girl.
Out in the street and point blank from Springsteen’s the river, better known for the title track and hungry heart.
Wait and see from Stiff little fingers album nobody’s heroes, better known for the title track and tin soldiers.

Re: Lesser Known Songs
I’m going for two Bowie songs. I was never really a fan but knew all the hits and one or two others. I was introduced to these by my wife who is a big fan. Bewlay Brothers and Five Years. I know Bowie fans will know them well but going off the fact that I hadn’t Noticed them before I’m assuming others may not have too.
