This thread is all about the one that did not get the recognition you felt it deserved. A song, or songs, as it were, by bands which did not see the light of day, songs which kick some serious..........
But you are very unlikely to hear them on the radio.
This is the antithesis of top 40 hits. And every band has a lot of them.
Example: Overplayed to death, beat you with a 2x4 song you could do without: Skynyrd; Sweet Home Alabama.
Now, what we are looking for: Skynyrd. A little something slightly different and on the road less traveled.....the needle and the spoon - lynyrd skynyd (with lyrics) - YouTube

Most who love rock have never heard this one, and it's one of those songs when your kids hear you blare this loud enough to wreck a set of speakers and get the cops called on you...... they GET IT. You were once young and crazy too!!!

Judas Priest - Turbo - Parental Guidance - YouTube

If you want to talk Priest, then it's "blood red skies", "touch of evil", "before the dawn", "run of the mill", and "beyond the realms of death" that never received the air time they deserved.

Without the song "out in the cold", Turbo would have been a complete abomination.
