Day 3: A song you love that most people haven’t heard from a popular band/artist

Damn tough question. I have no idea what people consider popular anymore. I dont know. I feel like a lot of people who say they are Queen fans have never heard 39. Great tune.

It seems many are choosing to liberally define "popular". When you start your selection "for those of you may not who may not know..." that's pretty much the opposite of popular. (Apologies if this offends, it's not the intent but if someone is going to be the asshole, who better than me? )

I ruled out a song that I've been eager to use by Cracker because they aren't a household name.

I hope this question repeats every month because I think it's great to expose some obscure songs from great artists.

Love the blend of classical piano with rock and roll that this one brings

Fantastic choice!
But I'll admit that I struggle with the "popular" idea sometimes... not so much in terms of the bands, but the songs themselves... since I never listen to the radio, and have zero idea what's going on in pop culture since hitting my forties (lol). So sitting here on my isolated farm, as a reclusive weirdo, with all of my hundreds (and hundreds) of albums to keep me company, all that I really knew is... This is my favourite Elton John song! It never even occurred to me that it wasn't one of his popular numbers...
So an extremely interesting, if deceptively tricky, theme today...
Great song choice though!

Did you ever wonder what would happen if Ian Gillan left Deep Purple to front the mighty Sabs? Well wonder no more...
You just know that a marriage like this would be deemed boom or bust, and the consensus seems to be 'bust'... but I completely disagree.
This whole album sizzles!

Black Sabbath - Disturbing the Priest

Shit, I was in my 40’s before I learned it WAS a cover

I'm in my forties now...
This is a cover?!? That just blew up my mind.

This isn’t a double post! Just a clarification

I don't know if that should earn a double-post penalty. After all, I did kind of prompt it.
On the other hand, if we both end up getting blamed... this wasn't my fault (lol)...

I love this challenge being posted in pairs. It doesn’t feel like a double post but like sharing the two versions makes the prompt even better and more informational.

She's very clear on one so g, but I'll take the punishment!

I know she is but this prompt kind of begged for a double song in one post. Maybe an expection to the rule.
Also I’m kind of not into following the rules and like to just lurk and not post so I don’t get in trouble

Day 4: A cover song that you heard before the original

I'm going to skip the entirety of Metallica's "Garage Days Inc." album in which I heard nothing but covers before I found out they were all covers...

I'll instead drop Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" which I didn't not find out was a cover until about 7 years ago

This was the cover...

Then, I discovered I liked the original better.
