After recently discovering the song ‘Kiss you all over’ by the band Exile a few weeks ago it’s got me wondering how many other non mainstream gems there are out there that I’ve missed, is it unreasonable to ask what your unknown gem is?
Mine are…

Tina Turner- Don’t Turn around / I’ll be thunder / Ask me how I feel / Love thing / Paradise is here

Rolling Stones- Moonlight Mile

Bruce Springsteen- Racing in the streets

Bette Midler- Stay with me

My mind has gone blank of hidden gems because the song in the OP, Kiss you all over is one of the creepiest songs I detested and was so glad not to have heard it or thought about it in years!

Jo Wiley I played my favourite the other night

Tinseltown in the rain by Blue Nile. I had to stop what I was doing and immerse in the sound

Also love candy by talk talk

I've always loved The Flaming Lips. They've been around a long time and still touring.

I always thought this was well known but I played Hazard by Richard Marx the other day and DH had never heard it. It may well just be my DH though!

For anyone who listens to radio 2, heart or smooth radio, this song is played very frequently !

Hypnotise by Fleetwood Mac.

Only ever heard it played once on R2 late at night when driving home from work.

Very dreamy song, one of my favourites.

I'm expecting Matty to come on stage and just point the mic at the audience and let them do whole show.

I couldn’t find all of them, but I’ve added most of the songs listed here to a Spotify playlist if anyone wants to use it.
