U2: Wire, Red Hill Mining Town

Rush: A Passage to Bangkok


Two of my favorites by these bands. I'd also say One Tree Hill on the Joshua Tree album too.

One of the most underrated albums and songs from the 1980's --


Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Perfect Skin from "Rattlesnakes"

My favorite U2 album was "The Unforgettable Fire"

There are a couple of those songs I could put here including The Unforgettable Fire, Bad, and A Sort of Homecoming


None of those songs got the attention they deserved. Bad was used in a few movies though, including "Taking Lives." After Joshua Tree came out, people seem to have forgotten the previous album which was their best IMO.

I was going to include the Unforgettable Fire, but I thought it was a little more known. That's actually my favorite U2 album

I think people have forgotten about it.. It's rarely mentioned among their other works.

Great cover by Gene Clark (always my nomination in Most Under-appreciated Act threads)

He had a lot of them

Dillard & Clark - "There's A Train Leaves Here This Morning"

Dillard & Clark - "Why Not Your Baby"

Gene Clark - "Spanish Guitar" Supposedly Bob Dylan told GC he "would have been proud to write this song"

Gene Clark - "Some Misunderstanding"

Gene Clark - "With Tomorrow"

Live video of a later classic

Gene Clark - "Hear the Wind"



Too bad he's not better known
