Great tunes criminally forgotten...
- Thread starter whacko
- Start date
I Don't Mind at All - Bourgeois Tagg
Sanctuary - New Musik
'74 '75 - The Connells
Ghosts of Princes in Towers - Rich Kids
Girl from Mars - Ash
Saturn V - Inspiral Carpets
Justified & Ancient (Stand by the Jams) - KLF with Tammy Wynette
Wake up England - Maddy Prior (so obscure I can't even find a link)
and lastly a song called Marie Celeste by someone whose name I can't even remember and didn't chart and whose lyrics don't appear in Google. Can't get much more obscure than that.

I'm not sure if these count as "forgotten" since no one really noticed them in the first place, but these are all magnificent

Missy Higgins - Steer
And pretty much any other song by her. Not many people know her here in the States.

Any more info? Year, style of music, what have you?
I've got the same problem with a song called, I think, Victoria, by a band named, possibly, England. I saw the video on Saturday Superstore around, maybe, 1982. And it must have had something since I still remember it!
Now, I know a band called England - fine prog rock outfit. But it's not them.
Anybody?
I'm away to listen to some of the other suggestions now.
Oh, what about some Lotus Eaters. This is damned fine.

Around 1980, I think, and kind of haunting. It was played on Radio One a few times. The singer, maybe, was called John Van Thingy or Christopher Van Whatsisface. The chorus went
Marie Celeste
I'm in distress
I'm in a force nine gale
Won't you trim my sail?
Can you hear the sirens wail?
For many years I had a similar problem with an unknown song that went
The world is full of little people like you
They have to read a book to learn what to do
Then t'internet came along and brought back Graham Parker's Temporary Beauty in all its caustic glory. In those days, you could look like a bookie on Dagenham Dog Track and still have a recording career. Probably why music is so shite now.
