I'll offer this alternative Cheap Trick track from the Gladiator soundtrack. No, the other one. Wouldn't call it mind blowing, but it is rare, and it is one of the last from that era of 80's rock.

I think it's still hard to top "Tomorrow Never Knows" off of Revolver. Considering when it was released there was nothing like it.



If I were to name another one it would be "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" off of Electric Ladyland. This is the only version I could find on youtube by Jimi:

I'd take "And Your Bird Can Sing" any day as a better deep cut off of Revolver.

Just great instrumental work at the 1:52 mark…

I recently came across 4 Non Blondes Spaceman. Didn't realize they had only one album.

I would love to be able to some how experience hearing Tomorrow Never Knows for the first time in the 60s. Had to be completely mind blowing.

Tastes differ, of course.

But speaking as someone who grew up with the Beatles and did indeed hear this song for the first time in the sixties, I and everyone I knew was thankful that it was the last song on the flip side.

We skipped it.

(But maybe you knew that and that's what makes it a deep cut?)

Of course it's a better song, but that wasn't the question. I'd argue that "I Want to Tell You" was also more mind blowing than "And Your Bird Can Sing" for Harrison's invention and use of the E7b9 chord.

The questions was most mind blowing deep cut. What you define as mind blowing could be very different than me. I stand by my answer. The first time I heard AYBCS I was blown away. Can't say the same for TNK.

I love Men at Work and everyone knows the hits off the first 2 albums but there was a lot more. I can listen to almost anything from their 3 albums.

Besides the 2 or 3 big hits there are so many other really good ones

High Wire
Still Life
It's a Mistake
Overkill
Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
etc.


I'll offer 2 even less known ones here that I always liked
1. Underground - off the first album, never released as a single
2. Maria - off the 3rd album which nobody knew and it did not chart

---

I think I've listened to "I Can See It In Your Eyes" more than any other Men at Work sing. I absolutely wore that song out.

Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite Beatles song, but I understand why people in the 60s ignored it unless they were tripping. The song was ahead of its time.

Wet Sand and Don't Forget Me from RHCP.

Would love to play, but what exactly is a deep cut?

Not sure if mind blowing is the word, but three of my 6 favorite eagles songs were all unreleased, and all from the same album. Hotel California.

Wasted Time
Try and Love Again
The Last Resort (easily the most underrated song in their catalogue).

My favorite U2 song is Bad, which also wasn't released but largely got its due over time. The first time I heard it was one of the few times I've been blown away by a song. Was actually an axing feeling.

And one more, Alright for Now by Tom Petty. Just such an emotionally pure song. One of my favorites of his.

Fancy way of calling a song that was never released as a single.

It's the title of the album, but I never hear any fanfare for the title track, and it's always been one of my favorites.


The Doors - The Soft Parade

I'll tell you my most mind blowing deep cut if you tell me yours. The pressures on no time to lose..

Gathering Dust (1981) - Modern English

A slow drone open delves into driving drums and a sonic ear fracking post-punk crescendo that'll stop your world and melt any memory of their one hit wonder.

I have nothing to add at the moment other than I've never heard this song before that I recall and it's fantastic.

I'd classify a deep cut as one that got little to no airplay, especially into the 70s and onward as record labels pushed harder for the singles they wanted played. Sure, DJs would play randoms that got traction and in some cases would break a song (Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" if I recall correctly, got a lot of run at some big rock station and because of that, caught the eye of other big rock stations and it blew up from there) but for the most part labels pick the songs they push, and corporate radio gives on air personalities little to no sway in picking out playlists and new music.

Best Incubus song

Best Killers song

A great one that plays briefly in American Pie but isn't on the soundtrack and isn't on Spotify

The fact that Pumpkins decided to cover Destination Unknown by Missing Persons and it actually slaps

But as for originals. One of my favorite things about SP is how prolific of a songwriter Corgan is. Considering how great SD and MCIS are, it is even more impressive when you deep dive into how many cool tracks there are that didn't make the cut. Like this one.

Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn usually get played most, but Uranus is a real banger:
