The title of “Teenage Wasteland” is “Baba O’Reilly”… I was going to pick that one too. I don’t know why, I am not a big Who fan.

I also really like Rocket Queen by GnR (Kuz)

A few others…
Led Zeppelin - Thank You (and just about anything other than Stairway…)
Metallica - Astronomy (originally a Blue Oyster Cult song)
Savatage - Edge of Thorns
Peter Gabriel - Salsbury Hill (I was reminded of it again last night on Rock Star)

Beloved - VNV Nation
3D - Earth to Andy
Slave - David Garza
Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen

People haven’t heard of The Who? What has become of our generation…

The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (an old folk song, but The Pogues version owns)

Janes Addiction - Three Days

Off the top of my head, they’re all Iced Earth tunes from various albums.

Declaration Day, When the Eagle Cries, The Reckoning, Greenface, Watching Over Me, Dark Saga, and I Died for You.

These might be better known outside the U.S., since Iced Earth seems to be bigger in the rest of the world.

“Working class man” Jimmy Barnes

“See the light” Jeff Healey

“Ten Years Gone”, “Achilles Last Stand” both by Led Zeppelin.

“The Prince”, Metallica

Is there any possible way to listen to Matilda without crying?

Gotta go with Another Girl, Another Planet–The Replacements version.

Hell yea Iced Earth !!

Diciples of the Lie - I.E.
Clutch - The Mob Goes Wild
Danzig - Am I Demon?
Tool - 46 & 2
Anything by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - the albums Nocturama, The Boatman’s Call and Murder Ballads all get frequent play at my house.
Black Flag - slip it in
F.N.M. - their version of “Easy”
Ryan Adams - his cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall”
S.T.P. - Kitchenware & Candybars
Misfits - Bullet

I could list songs all day…

I second Ray and the Killers, all of Ray’s songs are great, if you like great music everyone should try and listen to some Ray LaMontagne. The first time I heard his singing I could not believe that it was coming from a white man.

I also nominate “Wet Sand” by the Chili Peppers

Tool-push it
Tool-The Patient
D12-Get my Gun
Tool-Swamp Song
Eminem-I’m Back

Way Down in the Hole - Tom Waits

Just saw him in concert in Louisville. The greatest artist out there!!

Gallows Pole (unplugged)-Robert Plant and Jimmy Page live album

Soul to Squeeze- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Awesome song but not too well known because it’s not on any of their albums.-only on the Cone Heads soundtrack.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself when I saw some of the “unknown” songs on people’s list:

Who - Baba O’Reilly
Zeppelin - Thank You
Garbriel - Salisbury Hill

I mean, shit, these were all at/near the tops of the charts when they were released.

How about “Hey Jude” by a band so obscure that their name escapes me? I think they were one-hit wonders.

Dreams (R&B bitch) - Notorious BIG

As I sit back relax
Steam a blunt, sip a Becks
Think about the sexy singers that I wanna sex

I’d probably go to jail
For fuckin’ Patti Labelle
Ooh Regina Belle, she’d probably do me swell
Jasmine Guy was fly
Mariah Carey’s kinda scary
Wait a minute, what about my honey Mary?
The jeans they fittin’ like a glove
I had a crush on you since Real Love
Hold your horses
I’mma show ya who the boss of intercourse is
Sex, I’m takin’ no losses
Even groups like SWV and TLC
Can’t see B.I.G. wit telepathy
The recipe of picture hardcore wit a gun
Pimpin’ aint easy but it Sure is fun
When I bust my nuts
I bust 'em one by one
So what’s the 4-1-1 hun?

Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
but I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
but I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
I’m sayin’

I’ll put Chante Moore pussy in stitches
I’ll fuck Rupaul…
Before I fuck them ugly ass X-scape bitches
You can 76 the 69… try 68
Did Raven Simone call date rape?
Only ‘cause Im paid
I’m fuckin’ all of Jade
And my DJ Zhane she likes it when they say
Everybody… move your body
Got Whitney Houson boostin’ from Bobby
As I bust your cherry yo face lookin’ scarry
Backshots to Chaka… I know that pussy hairy
Sade… ooh I know that pussy tight
Smacked Tina Turner give her flashbacks of Ike
Smoke a stone
fuckin em bone
I’m doin all of them
Jimmy hats for Patra
I’m usin’ all of them
(What about Toni Braxton?)
If that bitch give me action…
Guaranteed satisfaction

Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
but I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
but I’m sayin’
Dreams of fuckin’ an R&B bitch
I’m just playin’
but I’m sayin’

George Thorogood - “Gear Jammer”. That song frigging rocks.

Red Rider - “Lunatic Fringe” might fall into the (semi)unknown category. If a song appears in a hit movie, it’s hard to claim it as unknown, imo.

Peacefield, song “LITTLE MISTRESS”

Greatest unknowns? Most of the rock I listened to most of the time would be known. Hmm, otherwise…

Just about every song on the Heartworn Highways soundtrack.

Most of Townes Van Zandt’s music, especially when its just him and a guitar.

Steve Earle - Darling Commit Me (on the soundtrack I mentioned)

Fred Eaglesmith - Alcohol and Pills, I Like Trains, Thinking, Pontiac

Any number of old blues men’s songs.

I know a guy in a punk band called The Riverboat Gamblers (they’re on amazon)and most of their music is a pretty good mix of bluesy punk rock and high energy, plus they put on a hell of a stage show and throw a good party.
