To ask for songs you think are underrated?

[ALittleCrisp]

I'll start.

Céline Dion - Fly

Bloody hell, what a song. I only just discovered it today. The feel of the song and the lyrics are out of this world. Truly amazing. And extremely comforting if you've been through a child loss. Listen if you have the time

On a lighter note, Let's here it for the boy - Deniece Williams

Woman in Chains - Tears for Fears
Time - The Alan Parsons Project
Adult Education - Hall and Oates
Careless Memories - Duran Duran
Like Her - Mandalay
High Hopes - Pink Floyd
Out on the Tiles - Led Zeppelin

Oh, and Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.

lamfrau Fake is excellent, Criticise gets all the airplay but I think not as strong a song

Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward.

I remember hearing it for the first time in the car, we were on holiday and driving through Wales. Every time I hear it I get a split second feeling of being in that car. I didn't know anything about the song but I wrote down the title and artist in my notebook at the time. I've since seen him do it live and never expected that when I was 8 years old!

Another vote for Will You. I think Hazel O'Connor generally is underrated but I absolutely love that song.

Lots of songs on here I like but a few I've not heard so will look them up.

War of The Worlds itself too ... the narration from Richard Burton is wonderful, he had a voice like honey!
Parts of the album terrified me and I remember being obsessed with looking at my dads album cover artwork

I wish there was a way of making all of these into a mumsnet playlist on apple .....

Cowboys and Angels- George Michael

Out of all his albums, Listen Without Prejudice and is my favourite. Not one dud song.

A few others that you might like to listen to:

Sometimes It Snows In April - Prince
The Life - Wendy and Lisa
It's Got To Be Love - Bucks Fizz
My Church - Maren Morris
Angel's Cry - Mariah Carey
Downeaster Alexa - Billy Joel

The Reason by Hoobastank.

The Reason by Hoobastank

Was just coming on to say that song.

Love Moves In Mysterious Ways by Julia Fordham, what a song and beautiful voice

Pretty much ANYTHING by Julia Fordham. ‘Girlfriend’ is a work of genius and ‘Tower Block’ made me cry the first time I heard it.

Anything at all by LP ... how she isn't a massive star already I don't know.

‘Other People’ was everywhere when I was in the Baltics last summer ( she’s big in that part of the world). I loved that song on first listen.

Janet Jackson's whole Control album. Maybe not underrated per se, but more 'deserves a revisit'. A stone-cold classic.

Song-wise, I think Alexander O' Neale's Criticiz is deathless.

'Careful' by Horse (McDonald).From 1989?

I love this song- and it was one of the very first things I looked up when I first discovered You Tube .There's a re-mix I don't like, but a proper version is on there.

(The very first song I looked up was 'Lean on Me' by Red Box).

A few years back Will Young did a cover at a festival (might have been coverage of Glastonbury, or Reading, can't remember). He did an ok job.

Amazing voice. She's still going strong, Horse, as far as I know.

The Day Before You Came - Abba

Oh, and now someone else has mentioned Bucks Fizz I feel a bit braver about adding another one of theirs! - Now Those Days Are Gone. Beautiful.

I have just lost my morning to that spotify list.Amazing songs/

How do we add the new suggestions to it?

@Unbelievable18 just search for the songs and add to the playlist on the link below. It's collaborative so you can add yourself.

https://open.spotify.com/user/escuriotoro/playlist/7lbFW3AdNilPyJyDKZH389?si=K5sRvtP6R1u-Wq2HTBhdOw

Or search MN - The underrated if the link doesn't work.

Yes Raahh. I follow Horse on Instagram in the hope of seeing her live again. Careful is one of my favorites and I loved Will Young's cover.

I've fallen down a You Tube hole watching The River Detectives as they're not on Apple Music or Spotify thanks to a previous poster.

Anything by Heilung.
Throat singing/pre medieval chanting based on old european pagan beliefs. Seems to touch something within me.
Helps to watch a live performance as it adds so much more.
Link on youtube

@nowifi I think Paul draper still tours. I had tickets to see him in Newcastle last year but he’d left the stage in a strop I think the night before so I didn’t bother. In their heyday they were unmatched!

Me again with another Jack Savoretti sing, 'Broken Glass'
Love the opening : 'Broken glass on the floor by my bed, lying next to books I've never even read'

Old and Wise - The Alan Parsons Project
Twist in my Sobriety - Tanita Tikaram
Every Day is like Sunday - Morrissey

What a great playlist! Listening as I make the lunches for tomorrow and clean my kitchen. Much better for the soul than listening to the Brexit drivel Thank you!

I'm on fire - Bruce Springsteen. Makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

Ordinary World by Duran Duran.

Us against the world by Coldplay.

Lurking but thanks for so many amazing songs, and the playlist which I'm now following
