'Your favourite pop songs that no-one else has ever heard of. '

[belgo]

I'll start.

Just re-discovered song, Elisa, Come speak to me.

Also qualifies as an album i bought based on the one song, and wasn't that keen on the rest.

I'm listening to it now

Suede are fab, surely.

But not that obscure I wouldn't have thought?

Or maybe I'm just old...

May I nominate a couple:

Cattle and Cane by The Go-Betweens

Stolen Property by The Triffids

Doppelgänger by The Luddites

...all Peel show listens from the 80s. Sigh....

Tranquillizer by Geneva

They were an indie band in the late 90's, did 2 albums and were never particularly popular. Loved them though!

am reviving this thread so I can mention a couple

Things Fall Apart by Cristina. Anne Nightingale used to play it back in '83 or so all the time!

The The - Uncertain Smile. 'Tis brillig.

Empty Bottles - Ben Watt (the other half of EBTG). His 'North Marine Drive' album is up there in the stratospher IMO.

De-Luxe by Lush. Still one of my fave bands ever.

Anyone else?

Sinister I feel the way you do about 'Pantomime Horse' by Suede xxxx

The Only Living Boy in New Cross - Carter USM.

Dry the rain by Beta Band

Carter USM are fab, but to (mis) quote RetiredGoth2 , surely not that obscure

Can I throw Alternative TV "Another Coke" into the mix or Pere Ubu "Non Alignment Pact"

For Nancy- Pete Yorn
Short skirt/long acket - Cake
I'm so sick of goodbyes- sparklehorse

Llanbobl - you'd think, but when a colleague at work asked for everyone's favourite songs for some kind of work do quiz, that very song was rejected by him when I volunteered it as 'no-one would have heard of it'.

So I think that qualifies it absolutely for this thread
