I am going to use this thread to reveal what, to me, are random songs that I playfully call "deep cuts" which is an expression that just means they may not be that well known. Sometimes this will mean they are actually not well known at all, sometimes it might be a less well known song from a popular artist, and sometimes it might just mean its a song/genre/artist I would never normally listen to so it is just a deep cut for Birdman specifically. The songs may be super well known to other people but to me I thought they were random enough to me, personally, that I felt like including them. Also sometimes they are just good and I want to share them with people. The goal here is just to share some good music with the community--hopefully at least one person hears a song they haven't before and ends up really liking it

There is no particular order to any of these reveals. I will try to reveal ~1 a day until I run out and include a little write-up of where I first heard it and/or what I like about it. Please feel free to discuss or to completely ignore me and let me shout into the void.

I will kick things off with...

Heard this song on Sunday, when driving in my car. Hadn't heard it in a long time but it is one of my favorite CSN songs.

yeah for some reason i don't listen to CSN that much but whenever I do I like their songs. Feels like maybe I need to make them a more regular part of the rotation.

yeah, that's a good one I've always liked but didn't know the name of or even whose song it was

A classic. Not a deep cut for me, but that's probably because I'm old and a CSN fan.

haha yeah I imagine for lots of people this isn't a deep cut. It is mainly a "Birdman" deep cut.

As I was saying before, the more I listen to CSN the more I like them. They are actually my mother's favorite band. I separately also like Neil Young so in theory CSNY should be right up my alley.

I definitely ended up liking a lot of the music my mom would play on car rides as a kid. Not sure I felt the same way at the time.

my mom listened to the cars and the beatles

I don't mind the cars but I'm not a fan of pre-sgt pepper beatles

Annihilation was such a good movie

yeah we did

Here is the next song...

enjoying this thread

Same here. Nice to see some Can-con.

I'm a fan of Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It In People, but never listened to any other album. Will check out that one.

Yeah that is a great album, too. Let me know what you think of Feel Good Lost!

For today's song we go to Italy...

For the next song we take a great song from a well known band that is not one of their most famous:

top 3 stones song for me

nice catchy tune and the lyrics are 10/10

not a "deep cut" for me but I'd definitely call it underrated

yeah lyrics are definitely very good

i think my top 3 stones songs are

Paint It Black
Gimme Shelter
You Can't Always Get What You Want

But I have been listening to Doom and Gloom and ton the past few years.

I'd go something like:

1. gimme shelter
2. beast of burden
3. doom and gloom
4. paint it black
5. sympathy for the devil

Gimme Shelter is such a good song

The story of the female vocalist Merry Clayton is pretty ridiculous, too (imo she makes the song). Apparently including a female vocalist was a last minute decision and amounted to Clayton being woken up in the middle of the night, pregnant, and coming in and nailing it on the first take.

never heard this song

thanks!

Reminds me a bit of the title track to Rod Stewart's Every Picture Tells a Story (the female vocalist part, not the pregnant/one take bit). It's the best song on Rod's best album, but about halfway through the song, Maggie Bell comes in on harmony vocals (credited as "vocal abrasions"), and from there on, it's no longer Rod's song -- it's hers.

Visiting a new genre for the next song...
