Red Death at 6:14 - The White Stripes
11
I was gonna post something by the white stripes because their albums tend not to have any filler. I was thinking either the denial twist or catch hell blues, but red death is a good call.

Tomorrow Comes Today by the Gorillaz. I've listened to this song countless times.

I've got a huge soft spot for Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head myself.

That's awesome not too many people understand/like this tune but I think it's brilliant as well :)

Narrated by Dennis Hopper, what's not to like?
2
My friends are stupid and only enjoy songs about frantic alcohol induced procreation so it's kind of rare for me to hear someone say they enjoy this song.
1
Wow. Thanks for posting this! I want this to play around me all the time.
2
What a great album.

I like this idea, I didn't know that track either! Here's my contribution, Elvis Presley covering a little known Bob Dylan song called "Tomorrow is a Long Time", Bob once said this is his favourite ever cover of one of his songs. Nice, stripped down arrangement.

Not a fan of the cover, but I have to upvote because I was going to post the Bob Dylan version.

God damn he's an amazing lyricist.

I've heard a pretty good cover by Ben Harper done at Bonnaroo. The lyrics to the song are so beautiful.

Upvoted for the wicked bass solo.

I love it. George was greatest Beatle, in my opinion.

"You know what to do", in the first Antology, also by George.

Fury is their best b-side. Also for those muse fans who haven't dug deeper than their LPs, try Dead Star on for size.

You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) - The Beatles
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. It's so goofy with a hilarious lounge style. I really shouldn't even try defining it.
6
The Meeting Place My favorite chilling out around the house album
5
I'll go with Steely Dan The Caves of Altimira. Everything about this song is sublime. As one YouTube commentator so eloquently put it,this song makes my ears jizz.

Miles Away by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs--from way back in 2002.
5
Wow, quite like it. Like that a lot better than most of their recent songs, to be honest. Thanks for pointing this out :)

Cantina Band #2 by John Williams. No one seems to remember that they play this...

sabbra cadabra by Black Sabbath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5XEZeMG1Y8

this is blasphemy i know, but i like the metallica version better.

Little Conversations by Concrete Blonde

Elbow - Station Approach
Opens Leaders of the Free World, and really doesn't sound like an opener. Incredibly evocative, and I never hear anyone express a liking for it.

Johnny Cash singing Ballad of Ira Hayes in front of a Native American tribe. One of my favorite videos on youtube.

Pink Floyd - Country Song. Id be willing to say that it is the most unknown Floyd song.
3
All their work for Zabriskie Point is probably the most unknown.

"A Pillow of Winds" from Pink Floyds album "Meddle".
Or basically just that whole album. Seems no one knows it unless they're a real "fan" of Pink Floyd, but it's by far my favorite.
"San Tropez" is great too. It's a very chilled-out song for Pink Floyd that doesn't have their usual progressive sound.
Summer 68 is another good one.
