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

Cate Le Bon - O am Gariad (Welsh singer beautiful song)

I've had it with blondes by Cud - early 90s indie pop gorgeousness

Most things by Rusty Shackle, but especially 'Thinking'.

Wolves - by Ryan Bingham
The first song that’s ever really really made me want to learn to play guitar

Anything by Frank Turner.

I'm amazed Frank Turner isn't better known

Losing Days is my favourite

I don't k know what happened to my last post

Frank Turner deserves to be better known than he is

Losing Days is my favourite

Breathe (a little deeper) - Blameless

Farewell to Twilight - Symposium

I used to love Symposium too. Great song.
Their mini album was brilliant.

@garlictwist I agree on Nick Drake, but I'd go for 'Things Behind the Sun'.

Illusion - VNV Nation
Beloved - VNV Nation
Kathy's Song - Apoptygma Beserk
A Forest - The Cure
Into You Like a Train - Psychedelic Furs

My Curse by The Afghan Whigs.

I LOVE this song! The album cover freaked me out but this song is fab, and Going to Town on Black Love too.
