Little-known Songs from Yesteryear...

[Formerly D@vid Leeder]

This one goes out to songs that weren't really big hits, but they had appeal for you as a listener. Everyone can name Thriller or Like A Virgin, but not everyone can name the lesser lights, and you never know what gems you might appreciate if someone points them out to you.

So here's to the songs that weren't megahits, but you liked'em and want to share them with others. I'll start off:

You Lose and You Gain---John Bottomley

This tune was a hit around 10-12 years ago. It's a solid tune, but few outside of Canada know it:

I'm from Canada, and I've never heard that song before today.

This is the first song which came to mind:

Surprising, CFH. You have a British Columbia provincial flag next to your Canadian flag, which makes me think you might be a B.C. boy. John Bottomley is from B.C.

Yeah, lived here for the vast majority of my life and I've never heard of him.

Sorry you don't approve, DLA. There's lots of lesser known songs and song factoids that people might enjoy reading in this thread.

For instance, one of the big songs played at most athletic events is Rock and Roll Part 2 by the not-so-great Gary Glitter. Gary Glitter, a citizen of Merry Olde England, is a convicted pedophile who recently returned to London after being denied entry into Thailand and Hong Kong.

While most people have heard this song, there's likely not many who could name it.

No blood, no foul.

I just look for excuses to talk about songs, movies, and trivia. Although I know a ton about boxing and MMA, I'm a trash mind at heart. Pop culture has infested my brain and I like to air it out once in awhile. If, perchance, my experience benefits someone, so be it. In the meantime, I take my meds and howl at the moon. I really need stronger antibiotics.
