Favorite Band's/Singer's Best Hidden Gems (851 views)

As the title suggests, what/who is your favorite band/singer and what is your favorite song that is highly underrated/unknown?

My favorite band/singer is Queen/Freddie Mercury and ironically enough, I don't think of any of their biggest hits as one of their best songs (with exception of Bohemian Rhapsody, perhaps), but "Let Me In Your Heart Again" must probably be the song that spikes strong emotions inside of me when you can feel the pain of him singing:

"We like to face the blues
I give you satisfaction
Despair was on your mind
I gave you the right direction

So don't you walk away
Remember it's my heart your breaking
You forget we were in love
Now my heart is only filled with pain"

[Breakfast in D-sharp]

Hmm, tough choice (the song, I mean: my favourite singer/band is definitely Morten Harket/a-ha) but I'll go for I Call Your Name.

I realise this song has had more recognition since its inclusion on The Rarities album last year, I just never understood why they relegated this to the EU and Asia's versions of Music Box only, as a 'bonus track'. The flow, harmonies and chorus are as good as most of the overtly R&B album cuts in her subsequent albums, it's a nice pointer to the new direction MC was headed towards at the time.
