What are some of your neglected favorites?

[Bertha Venation]

1. from 1979, Pilot of the Airwaves

They don't even play this on the 70s channel on Sirius/XM, nor on the "super hits" station that I listen to out of Fredericksburg.

2. Are title length over 4 min and using weird sounds the main criteria to not play

a song on a radio station ?

3. Man they never play Reek of Putrefaction by Carcass

I dunno why...I guess radio programmers just don't know what's good...

7. OMG that intro... Like a bad dream in musical form...

Probably the most gruesome sound ever made by a human throat. And I say that after a decade-plus of grind/death/black metal listening.

4. How about "Metal Machine Music"--Lou Reed?

5. thank you for this thread. it made me go search on YouTube ONE MORE TIME for a song

that someone finally UPLOADED in March of this year. FINALLY!! I would not have searched for it today if not for this thread.

Sure, I would have searched for it ... one of these first days ... as I have been doing for years now.

but, TODAY thanks to this thread ... I have found one of my all time favorite songs on YouTube.

Also thanks to the person that finally uploaded it in March.

March was a good month for me this year

thanks, lame54
