Aaron Wilson

 

[Tim Raffey]

...except that I've heard it, quite a few times. What's the best song that I have never heard?

 

[AaronNWilson]

Ok Tim this is gonna be tough, but i'm gonna say
Billy Connolly - Ten Guitars
Have Fun
Aaron Wilson

 

[AaronNWilson]

another one well worth checking out from Billy Connolly is Irish Heartbeat. It's a cover of Van Morrison but it is in my opinion a much better version.

Aaron maybe Tim hasn't heard Suspect Device by SLF.

[Stephen L]

Ok the best song no one heard is Your Attention Please by theScars, an early 80's gem.

[Brian Perry]

Queensryche's cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair

 

[Shawn C]

Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets (featuring Sam Myers)
Happy Man or Chill Out

 

[John_Bonner]

"Satya" by Aghora
Progressive metal with melodic, mezzo-soprano vocals.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

Practically everything off the 4-CD NUGGETS II box set. It's fucking amazing.

 

[TheLongshot]

"The Doorway" by Spock's Beard

[Joel Mack]

"Forgotten Sons" by Marillion
------------------
"If we blow up, whatever's left of me is kickin' your butt."

 

[Kirk Gunn]

Todd Snider's punk version of "Margaritaville".

 

[Scott DeToffol]

The Gourd's cover of "Gin and Juice."

Scott's Link Removed - By Appointment Only

 

[Iain Lambert]

The Viva Happiness! punk-pop cover version of the Roy Orbison classic 'Oh, Pretty Woman'. Since its actually my brother's old band, its fairly safe to say HTF readers won't have heard it...

"I'm a reasonable man, get off my case" - Thom Yorke

 

[Peter Mazur]

Good one Joel. I was going to say "White Russian" by Marillion.

 

[Darren H]

We buy fresh bagels from the corner store
Where swastikas are spat from aerosols
I sit in the bar sipping iced White Russian
Trying to score but nobody's pushing
And everyone looks at everyone's faces
Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence
Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence
Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home

Clutching at Straws is the only Marillion album I still listen to.

 

[Jack Gilvey]

My own acoustic cover of "Dear Prudence". I only perform it in my bathroom (great acoustics) and, even then, only for special occasions. The haunting squeak of my well-rusted Martin Marquis lights echoing off the mildewed tile is quite moving. If I do say so myself, my voice was just made for that particular venue.

 

[John_Bonner]

Jason:
Good call on "Spock's Beard"
I'd also nominate Neal Morse's "A Whole Nother Trip"
Jack:
Be careful, you may start a Tilex vs. Lysol debate for which gives better acoustics and tonal depth.
