Undiscovered ‘classics’

[Kerouac]

Now we all know who Malcolm McLaren is, not claiming this is undiscovered or forgotten, but I am amazed at the amount of people who tell me they have never heard this before when I play it to them. Beautiful record.

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Daydreaming by Dark Dark Dark. A classic of wistfulness and melancholy.

I find the rest of their work very hit and miss, but this one's beautiful.

More forgotten than undiscovered this one...

Big fan- saw them a good few times in the early to mid 90s. This is a particular favourite

I'd never heard of Blind Melon until I moved to Canada, it gets played lots on the Rock stations, when I first heard it I thought it was Jane's Addiction. Drugs took the singer though.

Here's another band I had not heard of until I mived here. I've no doubt they would have been massive if they had proper management and record labels.

Another band massive in Canada,the singer Gord Downie died in 2017, it was like a state funeral, Trudeau in tears.

Not undiscovered or lost as does get the occasional spin on R2, but for me, genuinely deserving of the 'classic' tag

Another classic, will never get radio airplay (probably because it's the only song I know with 'scrotum' in the lyrics). Suitably bizarre video too. Definitely one of my all time 80s faves.

With a title like that, should be #1 in the Covid-19 chart. :lol:
