[Music] Songs you have never heard of but really should

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Although the thread is CLAGGY as anything, I'll add this.

I found out recently that Eminem's "My Name Is" samples Labi Siffre's track "I got the"

I am youngish and had never heard of Labi Siffre. I listened to "I Got The" and it's brilliant. I then learnt that the session musicians (and therefore the musicians behind the sample on Eminem) were Chas and Dave.

So Eminem sampled Chas and Dave.

My naivety about Siffre also meant I didn't realise "It Must be Love" was also his song.

You've probably never heard of 'So Strong' by him either?

I knew the song of course.

I never knew who the artist was.

Gotcha

Here's a song by FFS, but have to admit to already having heard it

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Tell us what songs you have never heard of?
Am I the only one who sees a rather large flaw in this request?

Tell us when you stumble across them (modest use of retrospectoscope permitted).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

HWT appears to have turned his musical receptor off in about 1985 and forgotten to turn it back on again

Now you just know that isn't true.

And despite the usual scorn from [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION], this thread has elicited exactly the sort of responses I anticipated.

I'll post another, a track of some importance to fans of Killing Joke, but which I took nearly ten years to stumble across. Scenes.

I had never heard the Beatles, until I heard them. It's that the kind of thing you're after?

Discovered this version on youtube this morning. Musical bliss for me.

Shazam is your new best mate here. Don't leave home without it! Every second bar in Brighton town boasts an ambient soundtrack of tunes you've never heard before and will likely never hear again. Foreign jaunts offer equally rich new and evocative pickings. Discovered the medieval war dance of Corvus Corax in a castle in Austria, deep house twist on Game Of Thrones of Mahmut Orhan in a club in Samos and - best of all - the haunting lilting Lykke Li in 30 degrees of frost in the Arctic Circle. Here's one of her's. It's beautiful

Okay so I guess what your after is a song band that we rate but others may not have heard of as such I give you Beth Jean Horton who I first was made aware of when I found she had written a song which included Dodecahedron in the lyrics I was hooked

Lovely stuff. Beautiful indeed. Never heard of it either.

Walked into a CD store in Reykjavik and they were playing a song I really liked the sound of. I asked who it was and they said it was Fjallabræður, and that they were just 50 or 60 guys who liked to make music. I bought the CD and ever since have followed them on Facebook, where they often stream their rehearsals live. My favourite Icelandic male voice rock band. You never know what you'll get with them, that's for sure.

The song I heard doesn't seem to have made it to YouTube so I'll have to remedy that, but in the meantime, here's another, picked at random.
