Lost Gems on the Albums

[BenitoKCM]

What songs from well-known artists and albums do you love but it seems like people don't listen to them too much?

Those songs that have few streams compared with the others songs on the album, either because they were hidden among some hits or they never got the attention they deserved.

Some lost gems for me:

Who's more sorry now? - Pixies

We do what we can - Sheryl Crow

Great topic, @BenitoKCM!

The first example that came to mind for me is “Pictures of Home” by the classic rock band Deep Purple; sure, it has over a million streams on Spotify, but it’s by far the least-played song on their Machine Head album, and yet definitely my favorite track there (compare it to “Smoke on the Water,” which currently has over 481 million streams):

Another example from my Spotify library is “The White Sea” by the stoner rock/metal band The Sword; it’s my favorite song from their Gods of the Earth album, but is one of the least-played songs there:

A third example I’ll share is by the psychedelic/stoner rock band Black Rainbows, who might not be familiar to many listeners here on the Community, yet are very popular among listeners in their respective genres these days. “Hypnotized by the Solenoid” is my favorite song from their Cosmic Ritual Supertrip album, despite not being one of the “hits” on the album:
