Forgotten musical classics

[Buzzer]

Help me out here, please. I'm racking my brains thinking of great classic songs that seem to have drifted into obscurity.

I'm thinking:

McAlmont & Butler - Yes
[yt]jwp0G9LVuAY[/yt]

and thinking:

UB40 - One in Ten
[yt]lvcaxumeiKc[/yt]

Hazel O'Connor - Will You
and thinking:

There's no place for Bohemian Rhapsody, Whiter Shade of Pale or Ooh Stick You in this thread - just those tunes that you no-one ever plays nowadays.

Hazel O'connor. "Will You" one of the finest tracks ever written.

Joan Armatrading, Love and Affection?

Sorry got no idea how to do links etc.

 

[Buzzer]

Love and Affection is a great call. If you're going down the 70s female singer/songwriter route then Janis Ian - At Seventeen, also.

(copy the youtube URL and then click the insert video icon bove the reply box. Copy and paste. Bob's your uncle!

The Jam, Start.

[The Large One]

Haven't got access to YouTube at work (they treat us like shit around here), so I'll wheel out...

Everything I Own - Ken Boothe
Ms Grace - The Tymes
The Duel - Propaganda

 

[Fur Cough]

One of my all time favorites, mainly due to the dwarf.

 

[Buzzer]

Propaganda - Duel is a great shout as is Safety Dance.


Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough ...
[yt]lVpLxqTd0Mo[/yt]

Visage - Fade to Grey
[yt]UMPC8QJF6sI[/yt]

and this was a one hit wonder that is as perfect a tune as you can get. Possibly only Tasmin Archer's 'Sleeping Satellite' or Brand New Radicals 'Get What You Give' can beat this.

Racing Cars - They Shoot Horses.

[rool]

probably not a classic in any anyone elses opinion but for some reason this makes me feel warm and fuzzy

 

[Fur Cough]

Fade to Grey, haven't heard that in years.

I raise you.

Starship trooper.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

While we are on the Sparks theme - just how odd was Ron Mael?

Anyone for Killing Joke?

 

[The Large One]

What A Fool Believes - Doobie Brothers

 

[rool]

O Superman

 

[Fur Cough]

Never seem to hear this anymore.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

[YT]KqWqCuHR0Og[/YT]

The title track was used as the theme to ITV's Sunday political program Weekend World.

Sonja Kristina

 

[rool]

Well, is it?
