Favourite album tracks

Anyone who has got a Sky+ box will know it is sometimes difficult to delete certain programmes off it because you become very attached to them.

On my box I have a programme from December last year called Acoustic at the BBC. I don't want to delete it because it contains a live acoustic performance of the Manic Street Preachers song, 'Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky', an album track from Everything Must Go, from Jools Holland in 1996.

This performance, specifically:



So this got me thinking, are there any really special album tracks (ie never released as singles) that are relatively unknown that you would like to tell us about?

Yes.

This track on Screamadelica is stunning.

Embed it and I will watch it.

The Eagles... The Last Resort.


Deep Purple... Child In Time.

There are so many, gone with these two for now.

Usher hid this song at the end of the last listed track on "Here I Stand" - my favourite song on the album, "Work For Love"


Another absolute favourite: Psalms 23 (Buju Banton & 'Gramps' Morgan)

I like this thread so I thought I'd try and revive it - it has potential!

OK Computer, that was an astonishing album, doffcocker. Maybe I'm biased, it came out while I was a student. Everyone seems to love whatever they listened to when they were around that age.

I got into Radiohead five or so years ago when I realised a song I'd always liked (No Surprises) was by them. I've now got everything they've ever done.

This one from the latest album is lovely.

Yeah that's very nice. I think OK Cumputer was their 'magnum opus', if I can use a Latin phrase without accusations of pretentiousness. A lot of bands seem to have one album which defines their legacy, even if other albums are in many ways superior. Pulp's Different Class, the Manics' Everything Must Go, REM's Automatic for the People, loads of examples. In many ways though they're not actually their best album, just the one everyone knows, but I think in Radiohead's case it is true....OK Computer is breathtaking.

OK Computer and The Bends are on a par in terms of how much I enjoyed them, even though OK Computer is clearly the more imaginative of the two.

Have you ever seen the coverage of Radiohead at Glastonbury 1997? They were at the peak of their powers then and it's one of the best recordings of a live set I've ever seen. I saw them in person at Glastonbury 2003 but personally I prefer the 1997 setlist.

I've seen numerous clips on youtube of them at Glastonbury. I'd love to see them live only I'm told they stubbornly don't play their anthemic tracks from the 90's anymore, and they're very expensive.

You should watch the full 1997 Glastonbury gig. It is special. It was only on BBC Three again last month. It's jaw dropping. Thom Yorke is like an ethereal, tortured entity on the stage.

Here's a link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxHVQOfksM0


And here's a small taster if anyone else wants to get an idea.
