Top Ten Underrated Songs by Underrated Bands

Well ,yeah whacky title I know.....but hey you can-(I think those words about voting and editing the list shall magically appear)
The Top Ten
1 Blossom and Blood - Midnight Oil

I definitely like this list and your choices, Toucan. I have a soft spot for underrated stuff, too - this is where one can hear something different from the mainstream music.

This was the first midnight oil song I heard and it came as a big surprise that no one knew about it

2 Pictures of Home - Deep Purple

I myself wrote many times that this song is awesome and it's very underrated. This song has 5 solos on different instruments and they don't sound boring! How they did that?

Well as much as it hurts me to say,deep purple are underatted(they deserve way more popularity than just smoke on the water).this song has everything! (even a vey short bass solo like thingie)

3 Phoenix Rising - Annihilator

I feel guilty here - I am a massive Annihilator fan and 2 hours ago I even made a list about them but... I never paid much attention to this song. I will give it another listen. Thanks.

4 Hall of the Mountain King - Rainbow

Oh yes, this is how metal should be done, especially the second part. Rainbow is a very underrated band in general but even more underrated are the albums after Dio departure. This song is from 1995.
Side note: I don't like the song sample available on this site because it's a live version and this particular section doesn't say much about the beauty of this song. Find the original.

Well very few have heard this song and it hurts to know what the others are missing on!

5 Year of the Tiger - St. Vincent

St Vincent is a creepy songwriter,but this song is really awesome and it has the feel! (the feel is something that elevates your soul).SO GO AND LISTEN TO IT NOW

6 Eye of the Hurricane - Blue Oyster Cult

Many will be like - BOC underrated? WELL IT IS WHERE I COME FROM! Anyway yeah awesome some.

7 Crimson King - Demons & Wizards
8 Other Side of Life - The Moody Blues

This song is magical in my opinion

9 Diabolus - Primal Fear
10 Are You the One - Scorpions

Well you must have heard rock you like a hour an N' winds of change but have you heard this

The Contenders
11 On the Way Home - Buffalo Springfield

This is an outstanding song by an outstanding group, and gets my vote (not just so I could comment). I'd be more inclined to call them (and maybe some others on this list) more overlooked or little known than "underrated" though.

12 Fly - Blind Guardian
13 Arc-Lite - Coroner
14 Starrider - Foreigner
15 The Sorceress - Angel Witch
16 Blackest Eyes - Porcupine Tree

I really love this song! wish others would too...wow that sounded creepy

17 Root to All Evil - Dead Brain Cells
18 Anybody There - Rainbow
19 April - Deep Purple

Check out this beauty (1969.)

20 Dull - Chastity Belt
21 Old Man - Stella Donnelly
22 Taking Chances - Sharron Van Etten
