My info appears to have been outdated

I think they mainly played it for the 30th anniversary

They have played it live.

Well I wasn't completely crazy. Guess I haven't "researched" it in a few years

This may seem out of place as this has been a primarily rock oriented thread but I did just remember something that should definitely register as a deep cut.

Despite the graphic on the YouTube video, this 2Pac song was NOT featured on the soundtrack however it did appear in the film. I remember because I had to buy a cassette single in high school in which it was the B side. I can't even remember what the A side was at the moment but it has always been one of my favorite Pac songs.

edit: in reading through the comments it was only on the cassette tape and didn't make it on the CD. So it wasn't on a single but most people had moved onto CDs by 1994 so it was an oddity. Memory was foggy but it was 27 years ago already.

Speaking of songs Metallica doesn't play, apparently they've never played Don't Tread On Me live. I'm not sure if this is official, but I've read that Hetfield hates it.

---

as already stated they have certainly played it live starting in 2012 with several black album play through as and as recently as a few months ago at their festivals, doing the black album in full again (always in reverse order so the hits are grouped at the end). Struggle within was the third to not be played live up until that point.
They've played all songs from first 5 and death magnetic. Just a few missing from St A and Hardwired, and a slew missing from L/RL.
Escape has been played a whopping once for a RTL play through in 2012. It took 28 years to do it, the longest for them to debut a song. (A few close seconds in the 20+ year group)

This is a Very cool website with all songs tracked. You can click which shows you've seen to get a personal tour report which is cool. I'm up to like 75 songs over 14 shows in 4 cities.

"In My Heart" by Three Dog Night. As far as I know the only place this track exists is on the Robotech soundtrack. Good vocals & a very '80's sound.

Would "Hand of Doom" and "Lord of this World" qualify as Sabbath deep cuts?

Maybe not mind blowing, but this is one of my favorite tracks off Alan Parson's I Robot

---

IMHO....best Alan Parsons Project album

Tales of Mystery and Imagination-Based on the Edger Alan Poe books. Great symphonic rock

My favorite Albums of all time, even if it dates me,,,,and not in any particular order

Days of Future Past- Moody Blues- Starts in a morning, ends in the evening with Nights in White Satin, probably their best song of all

Opera Sauvage- Vangelis - "Hym" was featured in a Gallo Wine commercial in the 80's but he's done a bunch of movie scores including 1492 with Gerard De Pardieu, The Year of Living Dangerously, Blade Runner

Oxygene-Jean Michel Jarre, cut #2, but they are all good. His Equinox Album is good too.

Wish You Were Here or Dark Side of the Moon either one.

Aja- Steely Dan

Gold Afternoon Fix- The Church- Russian Autumn Heart, Pharao, Metropolis, You're Still Beautiful.

Isle of View- Jimmy Spheris, dude died too young- progressive Folk form the late '70s

Anything by Asleep at the Wheel.

Canciones de mi Padre- Linda Ronstadt for Mexican folk, Clasicos de la Provincia- Carlos Vives a close second, hit song is La Gota Fria the rest of the album is Columbian Folk....Misa Criolla for Argentinian Folk Music, but it's a Catholic Mass, so think Jesus Christ Superstar....

Lost Souls- Lorenna McKennitt, think Enya (yes, I like Enya too) with lyrics as good as Al Stewart's...Speaking of....

Year of the Cat, Time Passages or Past Present and Future, Al Stewart, dude can weave a story with a song. Year of the Cat obviously but Road to Moscow, On the Border, Carol, Lord Grenville.....Great stuff

Lines, No Second Chance, Fight Dirty or Here Comes Trouble- Charlie- for some obscure pop R&R "Super Rich", "Clutching at Straws" and "L.A. Dreamer"

Random old stuff- OMD (Enola Gay), Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel, Ian Anderson, Mike Olfield (Hiawatha), Oingo Boingo, Cyndi Lauper (Time after Time), America, World Party, Tears for Fears, SuperTramp (best albums Crisis, What Crisis & Crime of the Century), ELO, The Cars....

Modern stuff:

Games of luck, Kasey Musgrave, Ringside (Tred of Being Sorry)

War on Drugs, Holding On, Red Eyes (dudes voice sound like Bob Dylan to me)

Tame Impala- Let it Happen, The Moment, The Less I know

Wax Jackets, Heart Attack, Sycamore Sway and Holding Me Back...hard to find but they are on Amazon Music

Dayglow- Can I Call You Tonight, Run the World, Hot Rod

Dizzy- Beaches the whole album is great.

Purple Disco Machine, Hypnotized

Eli and Fur, Burning

Clario- Bags, Sofia

Iron & Wine

Geowolf- Saltwater

Dua Lupa- Don't Start now

The Lagoons- California

Yuno- Sunlight

First Aid- My Silver Linning, Emmylou, Stay Gold

Washed Out- Time to Walkaway

The Weekend- Save Your Tears

The Strokes-The Adults Are Talking

Lucie Silvas- Black Jeans

I quit seriously listening to music for about 20-30 years choosing to instead listen to talk radio.

We normally go to Richmond for Turkey Day and it can be a long day or it can be about an hour and a half, depends on I95. One time when she came home and we went down there she asked to connect her phone to listen to music; I muttered to myself "oh, here we go!" but being that she's, my princes.... I reluctantly said, okay, thinking that she would have the same taste in music as my #2 son and since they are so much alike (except he has terrible taste in music). To my surprise I kept asking "who is that?" she would respond with a text of the artist and song....Turns out she and I have similar taste in music, and she's loved living in L. A. with a roommate that was in the industry, even though she says she knew more about music than her roommate.

My daughter started texting me all the new songs she hears and asks my opinion when I told her I had an amazon music subscription. Most of the modern ones above are ones she's turned me on to.

Now I stream music while I work most of the time. Drawing lines takes some thinking, every line means something and in my line of work it means something in the x, y and z axis but one it's set it sort of mundane and stuff can happen in the background w/o to much interference, I do have to stop everything to take a call or discuss something with clients or consultants and sometimes to do calculations specially when it comes to electrical, I hate electrical!

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

---

Men at Work is good stuff, have their albums; know those songs, have to agree. One of the first Aussie break out bands if I recall.

At the time they were doing their thing I was also into an obscure guy out of the Rio Grande area, not Freddy Fender, though I do like his stuff...Joe King Corasco, Party Weekend, talk about obscure...

Then there is the stuff by China Crisis...

Then the jazz by Bob James, titled his albums by numbers that meant something. Four was his fourth album, probably the best, but it was a four instrument band, David Sanborn the saxophonist was in it... Five or Six, one of them had the theme to the sitcom Taxi with Danny DeVito. Seven had a football on the cover, El Caribe the best cut in it..

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

---

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.

---

Yep, too much of good music out there to have to listen to top 40. KLOL back in the day at school occasionally had some good album rock, when I came to the DC area in the 80's it was WHFS (stood for Washington High Fidelity Stereo) they played the second wave British Invasion of New Wave and Punk and local bands...Dr Goodfoot & His Toxic Sox, fun stuff...had a DJ that went by The Weasel, little skinny guy with a funky voice but good taste in music, use to talk about how much he loved Cyndi Lauper...

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

---

Oh man the Doors, how could I forget, "Riders on the Storm" ...take a long holiday, let the children play....what a great song; maybe not a deep cut, I had that album in Quadraphonic 8-Track , it was too long a song for top 40 but they would play that one Lynyrd Skynyrd song that goes on forever, horrid thing... can't say I appreciate Southern Rock.

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

Don't get me started on classical....

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.

---

Same here for Wasted Time and Try to Love Again….How were those two amazing songs not released as singles??

---

Can't go wrong with anything from the Eagles...until Joe Walsh screwed them up.

I put them up there with America...

No reason to throw Joe Walsh under the bus.

Not his fault Bernie Leaden who was the main source of their early sound left on his own partly due to the direction the band was already moving and partly due to the excessive partying and needing to leave that behind.

Joe Walsh simply did what Joe Walsh was and they knew that when they took him.

PS - hard to say he ruined them when The Eagles 3 best selling albums all feature Walsh.

Excellent deep cut. I considered posting this one as well!

It was fantastic on the R40 Tour.

This.

They already turned from their Linda Ronstadt roots. Walsh is a great musician. And also funny - listen to Analog Man.

pretty much the entire flick of the switch album

The entire album of their best offering.......

POWERAGE

powerage is awesome, but i felt like the secret is out on that one and wasn't a 'deep cut' anymore, which is why i went with fots

Thinking about AIC. Dirt had several singles and pretty much every other song is a fantastic deep cut.

Dam that river
Rain when I die
Sickman
Dirt
Junkhead
Hate to feel

If you went to the record store the day Dirt came out, you might have also picked up another album that dropped that day, STP- Core.

Piece of pie
Crackerman
Where the river goes

3 great deep cuts.

I think the Purple from STP has some great deep cuts. I love Still Remains and Silvergun Superman.

STP never did much for me but where the river goes is an absolute banger. And your picks from Dirt are fantastic as well.

Obligatory Soundgarden deep cuts that are faves..

Full on Kevin's Mom and Big Dumb Sex (Louder than Love) are fun...Full on Kevin's Mom was the 1st soundgarden song I ever heard and I was instantly hooked. Big Dumb Sex was (sorta) covered on The Spaghetti Incident?? as a reprise/coda/tag on the T Rex song "Buick Mackane"

Searching with my good eye closed and Room a Thousand Years Wide (Badmotorfinger) are back to back on that album and I am a big fan of both and listening to them in that order.

From my eponymous album, 4th of July always stuck out.

Rhinosaur off Down on the upside is probably in my top 5 soundgarden songs but idk if I'd call it a deep cut.

STP never did much for me

It's weird, I love and can listen all day to Soundgarden radio songs, and chris cornell in general, but outside of those radio songs, nothing on their albums do anything for me.
Kinda like how I absolutely love PJ Ten front to back, but after that, if it's not a radio song, I just can't get into it.

AIC was the only seattle group I like 100%. Nirvana was in between; NM and IU were pretty dang good front to back.

I knows its Metallica and probably everyone has heard all their songs, but I always loved Pulling Teeth (Anesthesia) - the bass solo by Cliff Burton off their first album...

Have you seen this? Man, it was the highlight of the night for me.

I'm with you on AIC. Facelift was dirty and metal and funky and chunky and angsty and i don't know if it's possible to wear our a CD but I feel like I could have worn that thing out. Put You Down, It ain't like that, I know somethin'..I mean seriously front to back every single one was just slamming.

And they did Dirt and somehow that was even better? Wtf man.

Soundgarden has a lot of random gloom and doom and they can go from wildly awesome to just...kinda out there. So I totally get what you're saying about them. When they were on, they were ON and when they weren't, or you could almost literally hear the different creative forces in the band pulling at each other, that's when they were big question marks.
