We all have songs that we love that were never successful on radio or anywhere else. I'm a big RUSH fan and have many favorites that never got a lot of AirPlay but we're awesome. Examples might be "The Analog Kid" from "Signals" album or "Bravado" off of "Roll the Bones". There are countless songs from many artists that many don't know about. What are yours?

This is a confusing thread for me because basically everything I listened to from '86 to '95 or so would probably fit. Anyway, as far as mainstream artists are concerned,

Death of an Unpopular Poet - Jimmy Buffett

Wendell Gee - REM

Same here. Pretty much everything I like would be in this category. I haven't listened to radio in decades and as far as I know, none of my favorite music has ever been popular on the radio. By that I mean in the "top 40" sense because back in the 70's there was AOR and so you could hear some good music on the radio.

Wow! You named so many of the ones I would have named... Man in the Wilderness and Sister Morphine would have been in my top 5. I would add most of Leftoverture.
