Let's hear your favourite not very well known favourite songs..

[Elderflower14]

Grey's The New Blonde by Henry Priestman. Johnnie Walker played it a lot on Radio 2 but it wasn't a huge hit...

The Rumour by Olivia Newton John
Co Written by and featuring Elton John.

Heaven knows why it wasn't a big hit.

Love this. The video is my happy place

Ben Rector Extraordinary Magic...
Also his song Sometimes and Wherever You Are.

Highwayman - Jimmy Webb arranged by George Martin

Frightened rabbit- woodpile
Ezra Furman - wild feeling
Maximo park- wasteland
the national- graceless

@NellyTimes@ I love Ride, particularly Vapour Trail and Dreams Burn Down. I'm going to see them play in a couple of months and I can't wait!
They're going to be supported by Bdrmm who I really like as well

For a complete change of pace, I absolutely adore Sanvean by Dead Can Dance

I love this song too!

But given it was used in the soundtrack of Pretty Woman, I’d say it was fairly well known!

Ive not given this much thought but off the top of my head I’ll go with Anne Bancroft by Mega City Four. Just a lovely song about love.

Dust in the Wind - Kansas.

I find this song incredibly beautiful.

I love Die From A Broken Heart 😥

Mine would be Real by Plumb.

Love that one

Place in The Sun- Stevie Wonder
For The Longest Time - Billy Joel
Andante - ABBA

Give it time (it’s 10 minutes!) but the way this guy arranges and layers his own vocals for this song is incredible. Not my usual style of music at all but I was mesmerised the first time I heard it!

For The Longest Time makes me cry like a baby, always makes me think of my Dad. ❤️‍🩹

Please lock me away
land don’t allow the day here inside
where I hide, with my loneliness..l

great song
and Peter was very nearly Paul McCartney’s brother in law!

Scott Walker, No regrets

its the cellos that get me every time!
Who cannot just love this song…,and him!

ABBA, King Kong Song and Elaine.

Awesome, where are you seeing them? Might see if there are still tickets available

The vellvelletes.these things will keep me loving you.
The young hearts..A little togetherness.
The Artistics..the hope we have.
The MVPs.. turning my heart beat up
Real Northern soul records
Ghost in my house ,the snake...do not apply.

Step Into My World is one of my favourite songs of the 90s!

Mine include '74-'75 by The Connells. Such a wistful song.

Gold by Beverly Knight.

I love BK.

Ride will be doing their Reading '92 set (so Nowhere and Going Blank Again era) in full and Bdrmm will be doing their first album. I think there are still some tickets left.

They've got some other dates coming up this autumn at other venues but I don't know if they'll be doing the same format.

My absolute favourite song by Sheryl Crow, from the album Sheryl Crow 1996.

Love Needs a Heart - Jackson Browne. Means so much to me, and just thinking about it I have a tear in my eye.

Maybe the hardest thing I've ever done
Was to walk away from you
Leaving behind the life that we'd begun
I split myself in two
Proud and alone, cold as a stone
Rolling down that hill into the night
I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes
From behind each flashing city light
Love needs a heart and I need to find
If loves needs a heart like mine
Love won't come near me, she don't even hear me
She walks past my vacancy sign
Love needs a heart, trusting and blind
I wish that heart was mine
Proud and alone, cold as a stone
I'm afraid to believe the things I feel
I can cry with the best I can laugh with the rest
But I'm never sure when it's real
And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done
But apart from all that I hope to find
Where's the heart that's been looking for mine?
I hope it finds me in time
Love needs a heart and I need to find
If love needs a heart like mine
