Share an obscure song you love

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Bring your favourite flops/shoulda been hits to a new audience The only rule is, they cannot have made the UK Top 40.

My first choice - Humpe and Humpe, ‘Careless Love’. The duo changed their name to Swimming With Sharks (the name of their album) in the UK, for fairly obvious reasons

Up next from me is Julia Fordham’s ‘Girlfriend’. Love this woman - somehow she has only had two Top 40 hits, and this wasn’t one of them:

Brother by Needtobreathe

Love this song, came across it when it was in a Body Balance Soundtrack

@SHICKING21

@MrsTophamHat

LOL this got to no 4. Read the OP again!

Dancin at the disco, bumper to bumper... wait a minute etc

I saw them live once in my local pub- one of the best gigs ever?

Edge of forever by dream academy

River of Diamonds by The Family Cat
Love em

"Rivers Flow and Rivers Run" by Karine Polwart. Excellent for staying calm in difficult times.

Once and Never Again by the Long Blondes.

I randomly heard it on Spotify shuffle the other day, having not heard it for years. It reminds me of being a teenager in a tiny indie nightclub and sing yelling along to the lyrics.

Aslan - crazy world. Not obscure in Ireland but rarely heard in the uk

@Chishnfips

Dreadzone Little Britain.

Britain today is a powerhouse!

@ToffeeNotCoffee

Diamond Lights by Glen Hoddle and another chap

Kiss the Rain is a most excellent song

Home and Dry by Pet Shop Boys

Children by Miles (it's instrumental, charted in 1996 and reminds me of driving to college)

Robert Miles? I think it got to Number One!

Little pink stars by Radish.

@AuxArmesCitoyens
Erlend Oye, La prima estate. The video is my happy place.

Fade into you - Mazzy Star

It's a fire - Portishead

I melt with you - Modern English

Try 30 years

Counting Blue Cars - Dishwalla

Yes! to Birdhouse in My Soul and Little Britain - two of my favourites.

My choice is the entire album Meccano Mind by Syntax. An absolute masterpiece that never got the success it deserved.

Black Metallic by Hammock. It's a cover version, the original was by Catherine Wheel and would also qualify for this as it never reached the top 40...but I prefer the cover version

Beth Orton - Stolen Car
