Which songs in artist's catalogs do you feel are often overlooked and should garner more respect from fans and critics?

I'm curious to see if we all agree or disagree with the selections.

I'll start with Billy Joel's Zanzibar which I absolutely love.

Elton John's Burn Down The Mission and Where to Now St. Peter?, both from Tumbleweed Connection and both among the best things he ever recorded IMO.

Cry Of Love's album Brother...Never understood why they didn't catch on.

Most of the videos are on Vemo, or whatever it's called, but here is a song off that album called "Peace Pipe"...good vocals, and great guitar work.

Great song on a great album. "Out of Touch" casts an enormous shadow over this song, unfortunately. :uh:

I have posted this before but it is such a great tune. The first few times I heard it I didn't know what to think...then something clicked and it is one of my (many) favorites.

Argh! The version I prefer is now off limits and listed as "private". You Tube is all going to crap.

This one better than nothing I guess

These two songs are classics for fans of these bands...

but, to some ''rock fans'', these might be overlooked...

Mountain - Silver Paper



Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Rock Is My Life, and This Is My Song
