Great songs from famous groups that...

• thavoice

  ..you dont hear as much on the radio.
  
  At lunch on WTUE outta Dayton "Touch Too Much" from ACDC came one. One of my fav from them but ya dont hear it very often like you hear their "hits" I think that and "Backseat Rythm" is two of their great songs that dont get played often.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  This is why I don't listen to the radio. Same fucking songs over and over.

  U2- Stay (Faraway, so close). I'm not a big U2 fan, but love this song, yet I've hardly ever heard it on the radio.
• Timber

  Thin Lizzy.... Cowboy song
  REO Speedwagon.... 157 Riverside Avenue
  UFO... Anything because I never hear any songs on the radio
• gerb131

  

  ZZ Top-Sharp Dressed Man, I catch it like twice a year.

  I second anything by UFO and many Thin Lizzy songs like the above mentioned Cowboy Song, Black Rose, Whiskey in the Jar, etc. (the only one's you ever hear are Jailbreak and Boys are Back in Town)
  Spooky Tooth- Evil Woman
  John Fogerty- Old Man Down the Road
  ...these come to mind immediately
• johngrizzly

  Pac Man Fever (no idea of artist)
  Hungry Eyes (Dirty Dancing Soundtrack)
• Upper90

  Any of Lindsey Buckingham's stuff off of (Fleetwood Mac album) "Tusk"
  
  Other than the title track, of course. He had some clutch work on that record.
  
  I also don't listen to the radio much, but I feel like from what I know just based off of popularity, Lindsey's stuff within FM is the least popular (Outside of like "Big Love" and "Go Your Own Way")...the Tusk stuff, I truly do understand, because a lot of that stuff is just odd (although I LOVE it).....but the man is a pop music Genius.
  
  For my biased opinion's worth, if you're talking American pop geniuses, it's Brian Wilson, Phil Spector, Lindsey Buckingham, and then everyone else.

  Lynyrd Skynyrd-On The Hunt- One of their better songs but never gets any play.
  Reo Speedwagon- Back on the Road Again-The bass player Bruce Halls sings it and it has a great Gary Richrath solo in it.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Just about anything by Dave Matthews that you don't hear on the radio--people hate him because they think Crash is all he's got.
• UA5straightin2008

  

  no citizen cope or slightly stoopid ever on the radio
• Upper90

  I'm pretty shocked that Citizen Cope never got more popular, to be honest. I think, at worst, his stuff is radio friendly, and best, it's downright infectious, at least some of it.
  
  I run into people that have no clue about his music, but always dig it when I put them on to it.
• ohiotiger33

  

  Pink Floyd- All of Animals (Too long for radio), Same with Shine on you Crazy Diamond
  
  The Beatles- Happiness is a Warm Gun
  
  The Killers- Read My Mind (their best song IMO)
• Timber

  Todd Rundgren & Utopia... The only song classic rock stations play is bang the drum... drives me frickin crazy. He has an incredible collection (very diverse) of music that is sadly ignored.
  
  Look up "Lysistrata" a great tune about the women of Greece banding together and not "giving it up" until the boys stop going to war.
  
  The entire Adventures in utopia album is pretty good stuff.
• Woollums9

  ohiotiger - i actually just hear Pigs(3 different ones) the other day on 94.5 in Toledo.
  
  my vote goes to "A Fool for your stockings" by ZZTop
• Timber

  The Outlaws... "Green grass and high tides" too long for radio these days... very sad.

  you hardly ever hear anything on the radio from apocalyptica.
• Sonofanump

  I guess I misunderstood the thread title where it says "famous groups".

  I like DMB, although I'm not a huge fan, and at the concert I went to in Piedmont Park in Atlanta there was over 50,000 fans. I think people don't like DMB because they feel his music is trendy, which it kind of is, but nonetheless it is good music and they are super talented.
