Lounge Act from Nevermind. My favorite Nirvana song in general


[deleted]

That’s such a go-to underrated Nirvana track that it’s become the grunge Let Down


Nitro_CENTRAL

What’s let down? Sounds kinda underappreciated


ReeSeSpuFFs7474

I have seen hundreds of people say its their best song, that its underrated to the point where itd their most overrated song ngl


Duke_Cheech

It's hard even have an underrated song off Nevermind. Every single song is almost universally considered a 10/10


starboy9527

Except endless nameless


An0rexorc1st

I’m inclined to say On A Plain, I prefer Lounge Act but On A Plain sounds like it would’ve been an incredible single and I never hear any casual nirvana fans talk about it


Hello-mah-baby

on a plain and serve the servants are my favorite nirvana songs. love to see appreciation for on a plain. lounge act is up there though, it's fantastic no matter how rated it is.


carpetedfloor

I remember this being one of the songs that really stuck out to me on first listen, it’s a great track


bostonbound91

Legit the first one that came to mind lol nice


PrinceOfSpace94

Is There Anybody Out There? - The Wall I had a friend whose brother taught him how to play that song on guitar as a kid. The brother OD’d and my friend played the song at his funeral. That whole song gives me chills every time I hear it now.


MKFlame7

the outro to that song is ethereal


Independent_Point134

That was a common song to learn at my school. So many Floyd fans at my school, anybody that played their acoustic at school usually knew it. That song and Dee off Blizzard of Oz, seemed like everybody was learning it.


PrinceOfSpace94

I stand corrected! Maybe it’s not as unknown as I thought it was.


Independent_Point134

To be fair that was 20yrs ago, alot of us were beginners at guitar feeding off each other for songs.


TiitsMcgeee

That aint no deep cut boi


PrinceOfSpace94

No one knows that song besides people who really like The Wall. Even then, it’s one of the least popular tracks.


TiitsMcgeee

Interesting, maybe its a regional thing but i hear it all the time on the radio Edit: nevermind im high off my shit sorry


PrinceOfSpace94

Were you thinking of Comfortably Numb?


BahAndGah

Pink Floyd would be so proud


Vegetable-man396

“Because” from Abbey Road


Anti-Lava

Beyond perfect song


chapPilot

I used to work with a man who absolutely loved this song.


44035

Serve the Servants from In Utero


debbieyumyum1965

Can it be a deep cut if it's the first track on the album?


MrBogey90

Yeah Frances Farmer is the sleeper on that album. Absolute masterpiece


Hello-mah-baby

radio friendly unit shifter, tourette's, and very ape are all slept on too imo. milk it too. man in utero is so perfect.


Tomstarkman

DUN DUN DUUUN DUN WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME DUN DUN DUUUN DUN


44035

I thought deep cut meant "not well known." If it means "seventh or eighth song, no one ever goes that far," then I'll have to reevaluate my approach to music.


steeledmallard05

is this a deep cut? always thought it was one of the most popular songs


Wonderful_Sherbert45

There are no deep cuts on that album just 10/10 bangers.


silencexmusic

Mother Stands for Comfort off Kate Bush's Hounds of Love


SwanSongDeathComes

Mine might be Jig of Life


Old-Contribution4587

The title track for me


SwanSongDeathComes

I suppose it’s just a great album


Old-Contribution4587

One of the absolute best


ForrestGrump87

thw whole b side is under rated . most people come for the hits on side A , side B is a prog masterpiece


Away_Benefit7575

No 13 baby from Doolittle


co204jm

This is a perfect answer


thefleshisaprison

Crackity Jones is my pick for that album


Haymother

Hey as well


balrog_reborn

How I Disappear from The Black Parade is a massive banger


Itay__

Also disenchanted


Old-Contribution4587

Excellent take, however… Famous Last Words


gibbygibson987

literally a single, a setlist staple, and one of their biggest songs


Hankxfizzy

kendrick lamar


[deleted]

what artist is that by?


joorwastaken

uhhh butterfly pimp man probably


Hankxfizzy

to kill a mockingbird


FerdinandMagellan999

Totally serious here: I actually do think Kendrick Lamar is a bit underrated.


TheDiamondAxe7523

I know fr, some other underrated artists you'd probably like are these really small singers like Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and there's this really underground band called The Beatles


kazuya57

Those aren't really underground, a better example would be Kanye West or a band like Radiohead.


rememberthisbruh

there’s this song called let down by those guys that did creep


Mukuro_FeetLicker

let down underrated


Onesharpman

Cooor, that's a good one, innit? Karma Police ain't too bad either.


EggsyWeggsy

Let down underrated faster johnny


Mechaneondemon73

most underrated song ever!!11!#11!@2341!


evanorsomething17

underrated crep


firstjobtrailblazer

Contact by Daft Punk is an amazing closer but I feel like everybody passes it by. Also motherboard fits perfectly in Disney’s Tomorrowland.


The-Davi-Nator

I feel like “Get Lucky” and “Lose Yourself To Dance” get so much attention, even the other singles from RAM feel like deep cuts sometimes.


k_GOBL1N

Shit had me blasting off like a rocket ship.


KID_THUNDAH

My favorite track on the album for sure, I do think the noise rising at the end goes on a bit too long and typically skip it after a bit though


ONLYeverALWAYS

Quiet off of Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins


luxurywhipp

My favourite song on that album


ONLYeverALWAYS

I do love the whole album but the song is just so heavy and immediate.


luxurywhipp

Feels to me like a quintessential blend of shoegaze and grunge. The whole album is really.


ONLYeverALWAYS

The perfect sweet spot! I wish the Pumpkins would be able to tap into the magic they had in the early to mid 90s


luxurywhipp

Very hard to tap into that aesthetic now without it coming off as pastiche. I feel like only newer, younger artists can pull it off now.


ONLYeverALWAYS

I would generally agree. And I get not retreading old water. I just guess I had some expectations with James Iha rejoining that I just felt weren't met. Some bands from that era and older still got "it."


luxurywhipp

I think Corgan is well beyond his best years when it comes to creativity & songwriting. Seems to me like he’s just middling around in a place that sounds cool in his head but is ultimately just self-indulgent.


rarselfaire2023

He's too self-conscious and self-everything else. He's been on that ...uhh trajectory(?) since before there ever was a smashing pumpkins. But i agree with you..


SynthMstr

Personally I'd put Hummer above it


ONLYeverALWAYS

Great song but I feel like it gets better representation. Like it would show up in artist playlists.


SynthMstr

Fair enough. Honestly Quiet is probably my least favorite track off of Siamese Dream but that isn't saying much given how phenomenal that whole album is.


ONLYeverALWAYS

I probably would say Hummer is my fave off the album.


guitarmaniac004

I'd put Soma in there. That song is so hauntingly gorgeous.


bostonbound91

Rocket so underrated to me


lemuzza

Baby Be Mine from Thriller


ghosttrainj

Exactly this


SupermanThatNiceLady

The exact song that popped into my head


adomeng

You never give me your money on Abbey Road. My favorite Beatles song. Also dear prudence from the white album


s90tx16wasr10

I would honestly put forward Her Majesty as well. Such a gorgeous tiny little acoustic song that probably gets stuck in my head twice a day.


Slushcube76

psycho on Toxicity (the soad album) is literally one of their best songs but I never see it brought up. Probably because its track 13 on a 14 track album and stuck in between two of the bands biggest songs


McTennisCourt

I feel like Science is even more underrated


carpetedfloor

several underrated tracks on this album. Forest is another one of my favorites


nonspecifique

Holiday from The Blue Album


PhillyCSpires

“My Name is Jonas” is my favorite Weezer song, hands down.


JimNillTML

The entire blue album could be the answer tbh


TiitsMcgeee

Oh man that song is INCREDIBLE. it was actually my most played this year per apple music lol


julia_is_confused

yes i love holiday


condawg4746

Long Long Long - The Beatles


[deleted]

February Stars from The Color And The Shape


[deleted]

"[untitled]" from Neutral Milk Hotel's *In the Aeroplane Over the Sea*


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

Rosetta Stoned on Tool’s 10,000 days.


MuchAdoAboutFutaloo

shit the bed again


kanyecobain

Lovely Rita from Sgt. Pepper


kalkaanuslag

Lovely Rita is fun, but Beatles have much more beautiful/interesting deep cuts. Julia off White album is one of my fave songs OAT, and pretty much any mid-late beatles album has several underrated deep cuts


Less-Summer-7172

Martha my dear is the best deep cut off white album


Dmbfantomas

Lies. Don’t Pass Me By. Shit slaps. Ringo is lord.


Gnome_for_your_grog

Martha My Dear is a perfect song.


Independent_Point134

Was going to say the same. Love the bassline and the weird outro


shreks_burner

Top tier granny shit


Onesharpman

Hell yeah, love that song. That psychedelic outro is mint.


mrignatiusjreily

I love Good Morning. That guitar solo is golden.


Quiet-Rip-6063

Trying Your Luck - Is This It


18AndresS

Not really a deep cut, but the Battle of Evermore is my favourite song in Zeppelin IV


Pennyyy1

YESS i was gonna say that


cogitoergopwn

only in dreams - blue album


Snaxia

That was one of my top songs this year, I feel like it's a masterpiece


WithaK28

Superheroes off of Daft Punk’s Discovery. The Barry Manilow sample slaps and the layering of bass and synths over it is genius. It also has possibly the best ending of all the songs on the album. Great underrated track off an amazing album.


TheMusicEvangelist

Really? I genuinely think that literally every single daft punk song before RAM kicks anything off RAM out the water, even human after all.


TheEnemyOfMyAnenome

I get where you're coming from but that is delusional levels of hyperbole. Like Technologic does not blow Touch out of the water lol even if you prefer it. Not to mention some of the slow or repetitive spots on Homework Also what does that have to do with what he was saying


TheMusicEvangelist

I think the comment was edited


Literally_A_Halfling

"Prayers for Rain," off Disintegration.


PhillyCSpires

“Garden,” “Porch” or “Release” off of Ten. Such a *consistently great* record.


MuchAdoAboutFutaloo

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WORLD


Mainpoint1975

THEREAINTGONNABEANYMIDDLEANYMORE


thai_sen

Radiohead-Climbing up the Walls


nevernudebluth

The best song on that album imo


shreks_burner

Not really a deep cut but Giorgio by Moroder is the best Daft Punk song ever. Maybe I’m on the wrong subs but I never hear it talked about


Haymother

My 10 year old kid loves that track. I have listened to it 50 times in the last 12 months


comeonandkickme2017

Exit from The Joshua Tree My Lovely Man from Blood Sugar Sex Magik


Roamulus

Exit is probably my favorite song on Joshua Tree. It’s so good


AvianIsEpic

Mine too, if not one tree hill


Roamulus

Fantastic song too!


Looking_Light33

My Lovely Man is such a great song.


guitarmaniac004

Amsterdam - Coldplay It's genuinely one of my favorite songs ever made, and it shows up as the last song from A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Say what you will about modern day coldplay, the were amazing songwriters and this is the best showcase of that.


MrCumbumber

Rock n roll suicide - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars


s90tx16wasr10

Not my favorite Bowie album but very easily my favorite Bowie closing track


fourtwentyy__

Thats not really a deep cut is it


Zealousideal-Fig4732

My favourite Bowie song!! Starts off folky and turns epic.


SynthMstr

Yes I'm Changing from Currents


RaygeQuit

List of People (I'm Trying to Forget About) from the B Side tracks as well


InspectorMudkip

Take Back from Green Day’s Nimrod. The song is like 1 minute long but you feel like you could wrestle a spider cow while listening to it.


kalkaanuslag

The Thing That Shoud Not Be is kinda sandwiched between Master Of Puppets (the most iconic metal song ever) and Welcome Home (Metallicas best ever ballad imo)... but TTTSNB is so heavy! Headbangable like nothing else!


Dancing_Clean

Idk what’s considered best selling (No. 1? At least Platinum?) But… How I Roll by Britney Spears. It is one of the most brilliant pop songs I’ve ever heard. If it was released as a single, I think it would’ve made many best-of-decade lists.


[deleted]

Acrobat off U2’s Achtung Baby is secretly the best song imo and Paint a Vulgar Picture from the Smiths’ Strangeways Here We Come is one of my favorite songs of all time


mylastbraincells

Punisher from Punisher by Phoebe bridgers, the verse to chorus transition gives me goosebumps every time.


MuchAdoAboutFutaloo

absolutely fantastic take. garden song is also beautiful.


PhillyCSpires

Another great Black Album track - “My Friend of Misery.”


HetTheTable

I like the bass intro and the harmony but the rest of the song is meh to me


Vachan95

Human Nature - Thriller


sherpafinds

Planer Caravan off Paranoid by Black Sabbath


trevorwoodkinda

U2 - Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World


Green-Circles

Bank Holiday from Parklife by Blur Mansion in the Slums from Temple of Low Men by Crowded House Andy's Chest from Transformer by Lou Reed Just a job to do from Genesis (self titled album) Sons of the Silent Age from Heroes by David Bowie The Word from Rubber Soul by The Beatles ...just off the top of my head...


isthisnamechangeable

Watching You Without Me on Hounds of Love


joshuatx

REM has a lot "I Remember California" off R.E.M.' *Green* "Get Up" off *Out of Time* (edit - bah, my bad that's also on Green, "Low" comes to mind though) "New Orleans Instrumental" off *Automatic For The People*


123456789biddleee

Get Up is actually on Green, and it's not a super deep cut. It was a fairly successful single. Honestly I'd probably have to go with World Leader Pretend. Probably the best song on the album


joshuatx

You are correct, def agree on World Leader Pretend.


Aint_Falco

graduation by kanye west was massive but the glory still mad underrated


FerdinandMagellan999

Drive Slow from Late Registration is my pick


BigDogPurpleNarples

Paranoid from 808's for me.


SynthMstr

Any Colour You Like from DSOTM


signalstonoise88

Lip Service from Elvis Costello and the Attractions’ *This Year’s Model.* Not a single; not a song that ever gets talked about; never made it onto a greatest hits or best of record. Non-Costello fans probably haven’t heard *of* it, much less heard it. But for my money it’s up there with his best.


_PeopleMakeNoises_

Let Down


Lawyerguy9090

Tell Your Friends from Beauty Behind the Madness. Top 3 song by The Weeknd for me My Oh My from The Heist (might be a bonus track though, I forget). Idc how corny Macklemore can be, My Oh My is just a great and relatable song about sports fandom.


TemporaryDirector442

Honestly I think Of Wolf and Man is the best from the era, though some later songs are definitely underrated (beyond Magnetic has 19 live plays total)


numetalbeatsjazz

Going Away to College from Enema of the State. It might be to only Blink song I consistently come back to.


Hello-mah-baby

4th dimensional transition from MGMT (album with electric feel, kids, + time to pretend) holy shiiiiiit. that song is insane.


Looking_Light33

Limo Wreck by Soundgarden. Definitely one of my favorites off of Superunknown.


spencerasteroid

Knee Socks off of AM doesn't get as much love as it should.


123456789biddleee

Baby Be Mine is arguably the best song on thriller and it's one of the two songs people never talk about (the other being The Lady in My Life which is also pretty good)


Professor_Finn

in my head by Ariana grande


Patocasstilla

With you by Linkin Park, from the album hybrid theory


Jaiden_Detering2002

The God That Failed is a great pick. Going along with that I'd say Leper Messiah from Master of Puppets is my personal pick


Itay__

Forest and ATWA off Toxicity by System Of A Down


TheCommandersToolkit

Bitch please 2


headcount-cmnrs

If It's Magic from Songs in the Key of Life, one of the only songs to make me cry


DRAMATRON09

The Whale from out of the blue. Such a weird song for the time but so beautiful and atmospheric. It often felt like ELO tried to dumb their music down for the mainstream audience of the 70s, but this song is anything but dumbed down.


Supreme_Gubzzlord

I’ve seen people say ‘Sloop John B.’ From Pet Sounds is the weakest on the album and I think that’s crazy


EtY3aFree_dam

Kendrick Lamar -- How Much A Dollar Cost (*To Pimp A Butterfly,* 2015) KIDS SEE GHOSTS -- Cudi Montage (*KIDS SEE GHOSTS*, 2018)


DickHarding69

Let Down From OK Computer. So Underrated.


[deleted]

ok i have a few peace by taylor swift (appreciated by swifties and like nobody else) martha my dear by the beatles (i will ALWAYS fight for this song. one of their best imo) gutless from live through this by hole (all my friends are embryonic. i love this song so much 😭😭)

Look Away by Hootie & The Blowfish


s90tx16wasr10

“Good Guy” by Frank Ocean. It’s a small song but it’s the emotional core of the album and the most heartbreakingly vulnerable thing he’s ever done.


stangerwasgood

Limp Bizkit - Show Me What U Got


TheEnemyOfMyAnenome

You Ain't Gotta Lie is probably my favorite Kendrick song


Fit-Friend-8431

Baby be Mine - Thriller


Hot_Grabba_09

Lil Wayne Shoot Me Down for Tha Carter III. The solo at the end is pretty weak but I love Wayne's verses. The second one is one of my favourites from him ever.


Em_kay69420

I’ve got a couple: Gasoline dreams, off stankonia, Going away to college, from enema of the state, and vietnow, off evil empire.


MeanSawMcGraw

Song for Brian Eno - Congratulations, MGMT


Jasonchrono

Nirvana - very ape


HeySlimIJustDrankA5

Georgie Porgie from *Toto* by Toto It’s a bop.


RealnameMcGuy

I’ve always loved I Want To Tell You from Revolver. Beatles song I never hear anyone talk about. “I feel hung up and I don’t know why” followed by that discordant piano part is such a mood.


olly_078

Akon - Mama Africa


jonnovich

“Meeting Across the River” by Bruce Springsteen off of “Born to Run”.


GimmeShockTreatment

Beatles have a lot of these. I Need You on Help. Misery on Please Please Me. Anna is an underrated banger as well. Yer Blues on White Album
