The greatest songs you never heard

[Stretch]

We all know of a song or two that are really good but you just never hear them. Or the band just never quite made it big. Lets see what you got.

Contraband All the way from Memphis

I love that song, but didn't someone else do it first?
... Mott The Hoople. That's it!

H.I.M.'s kickass remake of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game

[J.C. Corbett]

Jass, that H.I.M. remake kicks ass! I'm surprised I hadn't heard that one. Notice the lead player using a hollowbody guitar? Hardly anyone in rock uses 'em any more, despite having such a rich sound. Shame.
I vote for Thin Lizzy's Emerald. This song gets little airplay, and it rocks. Notice in the final solo, the two guitarists switch off lead and rhythm throughout. These guys were sooooo talented.:giggedy:

Do you guys hear much from David Wilcox? The Canadian one. Not the wussy American one...
So much fun live.

Loudness Crazy Nights

Loudness is a Japanese metal band. This is not the video for the song but it does have better sound quality than the others I found for it and the subtitles are funny.

Hair of the Dog - Cadillac Jack

Good luck finding it... anything I could find on YouTube was either a home-made video for Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog", a cover of same, or some stupid country band (I know, saying country is stupid is redundant) doing an idiotic song called "Mary Mack". Apparently they never checked to find out that "Hair of the Dog" is already a registered, copyrighted band name. Then again, they play country so they're not particularly bright, are they?
