Less well-known songs from famous bands

[DMBFan23]

Sup OOT,

I was just listening to 'crazy' by gnarls barkley, and I was wondering if he had any other good songs that I needed to hear. but I don't want to buy the whole album if the rest of it sucks - I'm sure this has happened to all of us.

so let's recommend good songs from bands we know that might not have gotten a lot of radio play. Can be someone with only one single (like I listed above) or it can be a very well established band (Radiohead, U2, etc). examples:

Snow Patrol - Spitting Games
Panic! at the Disco - The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage
Killers - Smile Like You Mean It
Maroon 5 - Not Coming Home
Dave Matthews Band - #40
John Mayer - Neon
U2 - Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Smashing Pumpkins - Stumbeline

Here's a good test to see if your song qualifies (credit to Diablo for the idea)

Friend: "Hey, have you heard of <band x>?"
You: "Of course, who hasn't? They have that song <popular song y>."
Friend: "Yep, that's them. you would probably also like <more obscure song z> by that same band"
You: "Cool, time to go post"

Your music taste in music is so blah.

Spitting Games is the only song I know by Snow Patrol.

And your taste in music sucks balls.

you should download Run. Chasing Cars is another pretty good one, but it's more a love song, and less like Spitting Games/Run

I actually do mostly the acoustic thing...Dave, Ben Harper, The Shins, Dispatch, Virginia Coalition, that type of stuff. But I didn't think that kind of stuff was best for this thread.

FYP. Gnarls Barkley is a group composed of Danger Mouse and Cee-lo. It is not a person.

Also I really like Transformer by them. Really fast-paced, and definetly different and unique.

Billy Joel - Miami 2017

(Vienna was the first song of his that came to mind, but too many of you are probably familiar with that, it was on the album The Stranger. Miami 2017 was very, very ealry in his career.)

Smashing Pumpkins, try:

Snail
Obscured - all time #1 favorite
La Dolly Vita
Set The Ray to Jerry - #2
Drown

for more obscure stuff try:

Jennifer Ever
Methusela

Modest Mouse - Heart Cooks Brain (The best metaphor of all time has to be in this song)

Wilco - Candyfloss
