De La Soul, “I Am I Be” (1993)
I genuinely have a feeling of guilt over not appreciating what a great album Buhloone Mind State is at the time.
Queen, “Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy” (1976)
Most underrated Queen hit? Yes.
The Wonder Stuff, “It’s Yer Money I’m After, Baby” (1988)
God help me, I like The Wonder Stuff now.
Darren Hanlon, “Scenes From A Separation (folk version)” (2011)
I thought I couldn’t love this song any more, but then I found this impossibly lovely folk version and now I love it more.
The Go-Betweens, “On My Block” (1983)
Yes, it’s part of my recent obsession with them, but this song in particular is fascinating. It goes from an almost-too-angular spoken verse into a progressively catchy chorus.
