So everyone has there song that no one els kows about. You know the songs that you like and know one els has ever heard of them.

So my fellow Escapists, what songs do you like that are, unheard of.


I don't like the video, but the song itself is good.

Snuff, by Slipknot. One of their few songs that does not quite fit into the "metal" genre, and is often hated by metalheads for it.

I still love it, though.

My time to shine:

Turn Your Back- Billy Talent (feat. Anti-Flag)

I recently saw Billy Talent live. I've been a fan of their music for some time. If you liked Green Day's early work, you'll like these guys.

Imagingary Places- Busdriver

This guy is one of the best indie rap artists out there. Give a chance, and you'll be hooked for life.

Rabbit in Your Headlights- U.N.K.L.E. (feat. Thom Yorke)

One of the most awesome songs on the planet. Plus Thom Yorke does the vocals.

...and of course...

Hell Yeah- Rev Theory

This one's best listened to loud folks. Really loud.

Alright guys. So far I wouldn't count any of your picks as obscure or without recognition. So here are a few you truly might not know:

<spoiler=What Made Milwaukee Famous>
<spoiler=Amos Lee>
<spoiler=Antony & the Johnsons>
<spoiler=Rubyhorse>
The videos are mostly live performances and the quality varies. I highly encourage everyone to listen to the actual songs. They're worth it.

Ok, so maybe these songs aren't exactly 'unknown', but they, along with a LOT of other VGM, go underrated.

Of course, seeing as how this is a gaming site, I very well may be preaching to the choir...
